great story love what you have done with Snape. really think cliff hangers are not fun at all

Snape really needs to work things out with his feelings if he wants to be a good dad or just good adult figure for Ariel... He is pretty emotionally abusive and neglectful in many ways. And he is a bully to the other students which isn't good for Ariel. I get he has a cover to protect, but he doesn't need to abuse his students.

I'm really hoping that Lupin and Black become important to Ariel like they were to Harry in the books. Even if they find out she isn't James' biological child I hope they still love and accept her.

Yay we got some Sirius!
So excited to see how the next chapter goes

aaww godfather Sirius. What will he say when learning about Ariel's true origins? a shocking day that'll be

him calling her Lily-thing is hilarious

I'm convinced that Snape and I are the same person, based entirely on his inner monolog

Of course Remus would never mention that a suspected murderer could turn into an animal.
Hopefully Ariel won't talk about Snape in front of the not-Grim, giving him ammunition he can later use.

Dead S. O. B. walking.

Sirius
Orion
Black

Aaaaah not a cliffhanger!

I’m dying to read more. This is so good!

Ariel getting blindsided by McGonagall’s question and her failure to denounce it is going to have repercussions, I fear.

Such a strong chapter.

Honestly Hermione is being a hypocrite, and Ariel has the right to her privacy. Her friends need to respect that. She is struggling and she will talk when she’s ready, having friends try to pry information out of you when you’re not ready is annoying and not helpful. They should understand she needs space and stop pestering… she’ll talk when she is ready…

I just bloody love this story...

Sooo good!
Thanks for the update!

Nicely written bratty Ariel.
