Who did Snape dance with? I really wish you had that detail, was it with his husband or someone random teacher from hogwarts or any of the other schools?

And that last greeting I just know it’s Malloy XS’

Oh I do love this bit you’ve added, HE IS 14 HE DOESNT KNOW LOVE. it’s annoying in many ff to have that and sexual encounters at this age. I wouldn’t mind at all just a date for the ball, cause that doesn’t have to be either romantic or sexual.

This is my first ever review and I’m probs years late to comment but hey first time for everything! I just want to say I COMPLETELY agree with your judgment that a love interest would feel cramped and forced and it made me so happy to see you wouldn’t be doing it that I screamed “yes!” Lmao. Anyway you’ve made me a very happy kitty!

"he was kinda hoping there may be potions and spells that could help him..." oh the mentally ill and fatigued desire to just swallow a pill or flip a switch to fix it all /3
i really like how you've written harry's journey and allowed him a chance to heal in a professional setting and not just have Love fix it all (not bashing love hurt comfort healing fics lol) excited and hopeful for his journey 3

eyyyy aw ~ i like how they're going as friends cute :'3

ooo ~ i really like how you made harry explain hermione's apparent tendency to lean to saviour complex (is that the right word? idk but i don't mean that it's malicious or intentionally ignorant) and how it could mimicked holier than thou colonialism.. idk if i'm explaining my appreciation for this scene well but i hope it comes across well .. rooting for hermione and harry ! 33

(also shocking that hogwarts may not even teach about british colonisation :0?.. i mean,, there are a variety of ethnicities studying there, so I wonder how they handle it.. did muggle colonisation affect the wizarding societies of the world? much of history tends to already glass over the realities of colonialism, esp in the west, so i doubt the wizarding world would talk about it much .. i bet so.. purebloods probs never left the homeland for fear of 'contamination', but halfbloods probs make up a huge portion of the population. did cultural exchange happen ..hmm thoughts being thunk..)

aw i really like how you formulated the first hermione victor interaction 33
(also gives an explaination as to why victor would think hermione was his age, even if it is only (?) a 2-3 year difference.. or less bc of the time turner idk lol)

Omg the way you handled the last task!
FUCKING BRILLIANTLY AWESOME
Sorry, had to get that out lol

I like that Harry teased Hermione about a kiss, and nothing happened. It's almost as if they are just good comfortable friends.

Yeah I never really understood people making Snape out to be a cuddly softy who is just pretending to be mean and smarky (even though I do love those type of stories). Cause in my opinion, even if Snape was putting on a front, he would probably only show his softer side to those who he truly loves and even then it would be sparsley simply because he is the ultimate Slytherin to every be a Slytherin. And if Harry was one of those who he shows his soft side to, it would ONLY be Harry. Not Harry and the two-thirds of the Golden Trio. Not Harry and Siri and Remy. Not Harry and the Terror Twins. Strictly Harry and even that would still be kinda snarky cause that’s who Snape is, snarky man

I love the story! It is so much fun. And I love the way you did the mentoring bond between Snape and Harry. I also love the character of Alex! So much funthank you for writing this.

i agree with a review, this should not be needed...

good story up to the failed 3rd task. The imperius foes not work on Harry so how the 3rd task happen can not happen, it even was shown in here he can not be imperius. So the 3rd task is a major can not happen in this. Another issue is Snape ending up failing Harry for blah blah blah doesnt matter its another plor hole becuase Harry would see going to hell as a betrayal and never trust snape again. I couldnt even finish this, every time i try these bad rushed rpending just feels hollow, not part of the story and as if it was a new writer who has no idea what the story before they wrote was about, as if they didnt even read it. In no way can the 3rd task happen as it did. went from great to... what the hell was this writer thinking failing woth the 3rd task HARRY CAN NOT BE PUT UNDER THE IMPERIUS POINT BLANK.

I really never understiod how so of arents allow their kids to date as teenagers rhey are to young and immature and are not ready for Marriage. I oikd never allow anyone to start date before the age of 20. As gor my parent wouldnt allow me yo daye before the age of 18 and even then shaparoned like he and mother were win dating. even the in their early twenties late teens on my mom's case of 19. they were martied for 12 years before divorcing.

I honestly have to say that Snape would never call him by name. He would only use the term “The Dark Lord”, simply because he was a follower…
