This was an excellent story. The characters were changed, but believably so, and I loved seeing a redeemed Lucius and Snape fighting for their children and caring for all the school. Harry, Draco and the twins were different but so well done that the story worked and the finish was very satisfying. I enjoyed Dumbledore’s end!

I enjoyed this story - really like the way that Severus became Harry's father - but... Hermione...an extremely frustrating and annoying character in the books became even worse in this story, her arrogance was ridiculous and I was really disappointed that she survived.

Well, a long slog but done, and with the Fiend and Dumbles both dead - good riddance to bad rubbish. Good luck and happiness to Snape and Poppy. And thanks!

Good to see Crooks so early. Snape's right: anyone who tried a physical assault would almost certainly come out on the losing end. Still, Crooks couldn't avoid a spell unless he saw it cast, so good on Snape for protecting him.

Let's hope Granger (who ~is~ an insufferable know-it-all) heeds Snape's advice. Though I dislike her, the Gryffie bullying is inexcusable (though of course expected). McG is a Troll Head of House.

This is a very interesting start. Since you're gone (and I'm tired) I won't review often or deeply but want to thank you for your work in case you drop by once in a while. Your changes to canon are intriguing, and I'm always happy to spend time with Snape.

Thoroughly enjoying the story so far. Interesting fact about dogs, when they chew on things too hard for them, usually bones, but I'm sure the rock cakes apply similarly,it actually strengthens and even whitens their teeth

It was great until you paired Snape with the Matron! UGH! What a lame explanation - de-aging...

So in addition to being a manipulative old bastard Dumbledore's a common thief. I really hope you did Anubis on his wrinkly old ass! And McGonagall, what a disappointment. Nothing but an old bitch who doesn't care if her favorites are nothing but bullying little shits.

You have to mash squash up with butter and brown sugar. Then it's yummy, like a vegetable and desert all rolled in one.

Of course Dumbledore is unconcerned about being caught out as a liar, the man's a sociopath.

Snape should not be calling Harry his little idiot. That kind of shit soaks into a kids head and messes with them. I had a cousin whose father called him dum dum all the time. Nearly 3 decades later my cousin told me that he always felt stupid and did think he wasn't very smart. And he is far from stupid but his dad brainwashed him into believing it.

Why in the hell should slytherin be considered voldemort's house. Slytherin house existed for hundreds of years before voldemort.
I completely subscribe to Dumbledore being a manipulative old bastard, it's all there, plain to see even in JKR's books. But your Dumbledore is scary as hell. It makes me wonder if voldemort is really the dark lord of the prophecy, or us it Dumbledore?

Dumbledore worrying about some little bastards future! What about Hermione's future?

Phonetic translation of what? You seem to think your readers can read your mind and understand what this nonsense means. They can't!

McGonagall's disappointment in Hermione cannot come close to my disappointment in McGonagall.
