Wow!

So sad

no, I think you portray Severusuite good. Never understood the bashing...I had 5 teachers of mine (without thinking), I would have changed with Sev at every opportunity - a good Dentist and one or two visits at a barber shop and he is my dreamman come true - no real macho but also no wet hanky and intelligent enough to have a nice conversation with sarcasm-pingpong :D

I binge read this story in just a few days. I loved every minute of it. The chapters about the family missing Augustus had me crying for a bit and I haven't done that in a while from reading a fanfic. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story with us!

I really loved this Christmas story. How the world would be changed by two different decisions. Severus to avoid LV and the Dursleeys to dump Harry

thanks!
I siped some milk when I read the wand&couldron sentence
Poor Severus! I nearly ruined my notebook with milk coming out my nose :D

Busted out laughing when lil'harry did a huge splash and it landed on snape's face. ;;sob
This chapter is still cute though

One more "Hawwy" and I'm leaving.

Getting further and further into this story and I’m really starting to worry that Severus isn’t going to tell his secrets to his Granddad before it’s too late. Please let him still be alive to hear it and help Severus through it. I’ve been in tears over it, especially the chapter where he got sick on Christmas.

i read this story for the first time when i was 10 years old, one of the earliest fanfictions i can remember reading. imagine my shock when i find this one again and reread the story at 24, and the story is still as wonderful the first time i read it a decade and a half ago

i dont know if you even have access to this account anymore, but i wanted to leave my review, 10/10 downloaded to read again later

Beautiful story. So well written. Perfect characters.

I don’t know if you will see this review but I loved this story. It made laugh and cry! It was great!

This was an absolutely beautiful and wonderfully written story. It was well worth the read from start to finish! The character development and lives of the three generations of Prince/Snape men over multiple Christmases was heartwarming, funny and superbly crafted. Family is not about blood, but about who we choose to bring into our lives to love and hold dearest to us. Excellent story, five stars!

Wonderful story, so many parallels. I loved seeing a Severus not at Hogwarts, an independent Snape who used his exemplary intelligence and self discipline to rise professionally and to apply same to his personal life. Wonderful family that came together, excellent illustrations of family challenges and how to rise and grow from them. I thought the first year troll and stone incidents were handled well. Loved having Augustus take care of Riddle. Loved that Albus had very very small part, and really loved that he got what he deserved! Also good to see Sirius at the end as well, that old dog will be growing up fast. Enjoyed your writing, and I see there are more stories. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

What a wonderful and heart wrenching story. Very well done. Bravo!
