Nice chapter, Rachel and her group of friends have good ideas with how Sirius got into the castle of course no one thinks about animagi I doubt McGonagall had been around the Dementors in her cat form and no one except Remus and Peter knows he is one, if Remus really believes that Sirius is dangerous or wanted to protect Rachel(Harry) he should have told Albus about it and no one finds it odd how long Scabbers is living for a normal rat I think even magical ones doesn't live that long that Molly or Arthur aren't wondering is a bit odd for normaly being observant and helpful in that regard who know maybe they are cursed with some befuddlement spell in that regard. Good work more please *cookies for inspiration and the great work*

Severus needs to get Rachel a cat. Could be her patronas memory.

Good chapters, interesting and some drama, Severus does everything to help Rachel and other children as well in destroying that child prostitution ring without Albus knowing what he does but I doubt Albus would say anything about it he after all helps other children who are traumatized by such an act towards them. More please *cookies for inspiration and the great work*

Really enjoyed when she got Song of the Lioness for Christmas

Really good. Intrigued how Snape loosened the mans tongue. Was it truth serum/potion stuff? Thank you for the update

Great chapter. Pleased Rachel and Theo had that chat. Good what Severus did going to try and track the men down. But he hopefully will get Petunia punished as well for the bleach torture. Thank you for this chapter

Great chapter. Good Torey/Severus chat. Still on tender hooks wondering what he is going to do about what was done to her. Lovely Christmas present writing and sweet moments. Thank you for the update and allons-y for now

Good chapter somehow funny to read a winter chapter in summer makes me want to bake cookies and drink hot tea lol. Really everyone just assumed that Harry wants to be an auror he is good at it but I would rather be happy to have a peaceful life instead of still running after bad guys that had made his teenage years so horrible but thankfully Rachel wants to do what she really likes to and that is flying feeling free and happy despite her dark past and some dark aspects in her present and the future that is ahead of her, but with her friends and Severus everything will turn out alright for sure. Good chapter Torey to gave Severus some advice and encouragement that he needs. More please *cookies for inspiration and the great work*

Really good chapter. Pleased she is opening up with those she trusts about what happened. I am interested to see Snape's retribution on Vernon as know Slytherin's tend to go for long and painful instead of fast retaliation like Gryffindor. Interested to see if Vernon goes to Muggle prison, killed, tortured or Askaban. Thank you for the update

A good chapter Torey is still a great help for Rachel and have some ideas to help with the nightmares as well. Cedric to is a great guy and a fair player as well for losing the game and now her and her friends are trying to learn the patronus to protect themselves and maybe Rachel to. Good work more please *ice-cream for inspiration and the great work and these hot weather*

Hey Welfycat,
my first review on this web site for you. I really really love your Story. Rachel is so sweet! And I Like the slow going about her past in the therapy. You really take your time like in real life. Thats make it realistic. And I like the relationship she and Professor Snape building. And that she have more help than Harry, I mean there is not so much adventure of her alone in here but I like it. For Example that Severus had take the diary and she was not in the chamber of secret. Ah I can't write too much, my English is bad. I hope you write on and on and on, I will follow! Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. And burn that Vernonbeast!
friendly greetings from vesle

Ok, I just read the 9 and 10 chapters...so...

Now, i'm gonna close my eyes and visualice how Severus transform Vernon into a Pig (i know, not much of a difference) empales him in a really HUGE pike, puts him on FIRE and gives it to Aragog for dinner.

After that i will fantasy with our favorite Deatheater hunting the men that were involved, with another (even BIGGER) pica.

Everyone...MUST...PAY...

(Damn... whenever is a child involve it makes me so mad. X/)

Very sad for Rachel, hope that now she could have the chance to heal, far away from Dursley.

Thanx for another amazing chapter!
Have a nice day! ;)

Really well written fanfic's. So sad what happened to her. But can tell she and Severus care alot for eachother so hope they can become comfortable. With
him being more of a fatherly figure and for her to let her guard down and truly trust him. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to the next chapter.

oh man very dramatic and sad but I think we all somehow had known what had happend to her with some of you suggestions and hints, Severus has every right to be angry at Vernon maybe putting some Veritaserum in his drink and letting him confess in front of his wife and son what he had done to Rachel would be in order no one has to know what he had done and a talk to Dumbledore as well I think Dumbledore wouldn't be all to happy after hearing what had happend and may have some ideas on his own. good work more please *cookies for inspiration and the good work*

Nice chapter, you kept the bit with everyone having to stay at the great hall after the attack what I found in the end odd that everyone had to stay there and not only the Gryfindor who he attacked good thing that Rachel didn't need to stay there and that she was able to go to hogsmeade and have fun with her friends. Good work more please *cookies for inspiration and the great work*
