Wow. This story is incredible. A complete re-imagining of Book 5 that is witty, entertaining, and humorous. I did enjoy the dynamics between Snape and Harry throughout the entire story. The gradual change in their relationship was well-done.

Harry walking in on Sirius and Remus was hilarious, as was Remus tying Snape to a chair to prevent him from going after Harry.

You could easily make a series of this story (if you wanted). I would love to see more.

leianora is very lucky!

Wow, THANK YOU! This may in fact be the most AWESOME review I have ever gotten! *blushes* I think I love you. ^_^

I am planning on making this into a series, but I need to do more editing to this one first. Fix the typos, and there were things I wanted to fit into the story that I just didn't have time to get to. I may add them as well.

Thank you so much for this amazing review, and I am so glad you liked the story! ^_^

	Just a small typo I noticed, a moment ago when reading.I am guessing that the word in bold letters should be clock instead... giggles Before either had noticed, the small mantle cock* was striking midnight and Snape was forced to head back to Hogwarts to catch a few hours of rest before Monday's classes.* (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, yes I liked the story, the way you used details from canon in entirely different setting. And wow, did I laugh when I read about Harry walking in on Sirius and Remus... Not to mention Remus tying Snape to the chair.

Good story! But there were some other typos as well. Besides that funny one I mentioned previously.

Otherwise it's all good. And like ivylady commented, I would not objects to more of this. It's an interesing universe you have created and I must say I really enjoyed the fact that your Snape was very snarky and all that :) Oh, and the fact that you let Harry be smart, figuring somethings out by himself.

	Lol, must have been a Freudian slip there! My LOVERLY Beta was very rushed with this, and I am HORRIBLE with typos, so it's all my fault. I am terribly sorry about them, though... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am glad you liked it! I am turning this into a series once I clean up this one. I feel rather bad that I couldn't get it together better before the due date, but it was late as it was... What would Sev be without teh!Snark? lol And it always bothered me that Harry never has to use his brain. At all. Ever. lol Thanks so much for the R&R! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Wow! This fic is huuuuuge! I feel so bad now, cuz the fic I wrote for my recipiant wasn't nearly this long. The plot was very well done, and I liked the changes you made to accommodate the storyline to handle Harry's expulsion. Having Luna be the victim of Dolores's abuse was a surprise. I'd half expected it to be Neville, to be honest, but she was equally likely to have it happen to her. I copied the story into a text file and edited out all the errors, but also so I could keep it for myself once the fest was over. When the authors are finally revealed, I'd love the chance to get to talk with you, oh dear author, and go over some ideas with you. Your way of coming up with a great plot makes me green with envy! I can come up with great ideas, but finishing them? Not so much.

Best regards,
Leianora

*bounces* I am sooo glad you liked it! I was over the moon with nerves because I've never written anything so long or plot-driven before... o_0 The errors are completely my fault, not only because, well, I made them but also because my beta was unprepared for the sheer girth of this monster! I am so glad you liked it, and I would love to chat with you after the names are revealed. ^_^ Happy Snarridays, Dear!

	You have quite a way with plotting! I enjoyed how you adapted that year to the premise of Harry being expelled. I also liked that it gave Harry and Snape a chance to get to know one another. (Reply to this) (Thread)
