Oh my gosh! Wow, there's just so much I adored...I can't even keep it all in my head! Love the nicknames- Monster and Spawn, ha! And the whole story just flowed so perfectly! The "lessons" were hilarious and a great way to section off the story, and I just love Severus' relationship with both Harry and the kids. I love that Albus Severus kept the snake for so long, and when he first calls Severus "dad"... I love how James is so compliant at the beginning, just saying 'k' to everything Severus says, haha. I love how Severus grows through this, and comes to care for them all so much, and how he misses James when he goes off to school... And I love how you brought it all together with Harry's revelation at the end! I love how it all came full circle and how Harry's and Severus' motivations were the same. Oh, and I love that, that first time when Albus calls Severus 'dad,' Harry stops saying they're going to leave all the time. : )
Oh! And also when James says he wants to meet Ginny. That was really great as well. : )
Excellent, excellent story!! I'm so happy to have read it, and will probably do so again very soon. xD So glad you posted this lovely work!
