A.N. Hey guys!! I just wanted to tell you all that I’ve changed my mind from the A.N. in chapter 13. This is the end of the fic. There will, however, be a sequel to be posted soon, hopefully. I will try by best not to leave you all waiting too long but my current track record for updating isn’t very good. I’ve already started the first chapter but my exams start now. I’ve got 8 in the next 2 weeks but I will try to write more.

I also wanted to draw people’s attention to this review I received today. Not only was this person so cowardly as to fail to sign in so that I knew who they were and could respond to the comments but they obviously failed to read my summary. I clearly state that this story is HP/SS SLASH (all my stories are clearly marked). Then to top it all off they flame me not just once but twice.

i have a horrible feeling that this is harry/severus, i think they are both kl characters, but the pairing is awful snape is old enough to be harrys father and its just twisted

If you suspect that this is going to be Harry/Severus they why continue to read it if it disgusts you so much?

Actually why are you in the Harry/Severus section of Harry Potter FanFiction in the first place?? My story is under Romance!! (General as well though if you want to be pedantic.)

'I am ready, my love' THAT IS SO CHEESY! thats what harry says to snape, snape could very well be harrys father, he is old enough, bloody hell i mean its just sick, i have nothing against those particular characters but i dislike that pairing for OBVIOUS reasons, who the hell says something then ads 'my love' on the end, you make harry sound like some luv struck girl! (i'm female myself, but

that line is just so cheesy) plus harry and snape fall in love thats just weird,(HE COULD BE FIRED 4 THAT 4 THAT LOL) anyhow you NEED TO SERIOUSLY put that pairing in the summary, some ppl don't like reading stories where a minor falls in love with someone who is more than twice his age and HARRY/SNAPE...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

(it WAS well written though, and i liked the whole going back in time to the marauders time' thing)

Some of my lines may well be cheesy. I can’t comment on that but why couldn’t a man say that to his lover?? Especially if he is gay (or not I’m not being stereotypical). Female or not (I happen to be one to although I may want to rethink that after finding out that one of my own species is so obviously lacking in social skills and simple grammar) some people are cheesy in the things they say. My Harry just happens to be cheesy on occasion, so what?

As for Severus being fired. Well you can’t do a lot about soulmate bonds can you? Besides they weren’t exactly together while Harry was still at school. They had sex once when Harry finally reappeared and barely saw each other again until graduation.

I DID clearly state the pairing in the summary. It is not my fault if you fail to either read it or for some reason not understand that HP/SS means that it is going to be Harry Potter and Severus Snape falling in love. The only other SS in Harry Potter is Salazar Slytherin and considering he is maybe one thousand years older than Harry I’m sure it is worse than simply being twice his age.

Why have this long tirade against this pairing?? And why put it on the last chapter??? If you were so disgusted with it surely you would have stopped reading it when it first became apparent that it was going to be H/S???

As for the parting comment well please forgive me if I don’t thank you for it. After reading about how much my story disgusts you I really don’t care if you thought it was well written or not as you are obviously lacking in common sense not to mention intelligence.

I’m so very sorry to everyone else who reads this. I just felt that I had to post it; I was so angry at whoever it was. I literally saw red at the fact that they wouldn’t sign in and own up to their comments. I think that if you are going to flame then let the writer know who you are so they can respond. I have never flamed anyone and never will. Constructive criticism is always valued no matter how harsh, I like honesty, but this was completely different. It was a rant against my ship – something I detest. I don’t go around insulting anyone who writes Harry/Remus or Harry/Sirius or even Harry/Draco just because I personally don’t happen to like the pairing. My BETA writes Harry/Draco.

Again I’m very sorry for my own little personal tirade. But I felt it was necessary. Goodbye.
