    Great story, though the end was a bit depressing!

    What a beautiful but painful story! I wish there was a happier ending but strangely, I quite enjoyed reading this!

    I loved this story.

    Author's Response: That's so nice to hear, thanks so much for sparing the time to let me know. It makes my day!

    The end made me so sad. Somehow, I expected something like that to happen. You can't really blame Snape for being able to talk himself into not wanting Harry, but it's still sad. Sirius is hilarious in this. It's kind of amazing Harry isn't ten times worse after being raised by him. :-)

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! Ohhh, I think you are the only person who expected it, so congrats to you! In the first draft, Harry was worse and I made him a bit more like Sirius, but then I read through and decided that it wasn't very in character for Harry and that Remus would have been the counter-balance to Sirius and kept Harry on the straight and narrow. Good ol' Remus!

    Aw. Severus, such a fool. And the story turned out so beautifully. However I would wish for a continuation, it will probably turn out three times more sad, so I don't.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! If I thought I had the skill to pull off the Sev-tells-Harry scene then I would continue; but I don't think I have. I really appreciate the review, and yep, if I ever did continue you'd need the tissues ready!

    That was interesting - all the time it seemed as a very nice comedy fic, and then suddenly it made a twist and ended as a sad fic. Left me all pensive and a little melancholic. Good thing that you did not go into explanations why Sirius is free and details of life with the Dursleys, it would slow the story down. M.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you liked the twist! I wasn't sure whether people would think it looked like an afterthought. In the plan I did explain a bit about Sirius and the Dursleys but then when I came to write it I realised that part just didn't fit and so I took it out. Thanks again!

    Wow. What I like best about this is how dark the ending suddenly got. I would really love to read a continuation of this where perhaps Snape gave it away on accident or Harry finds out on accident. Great ending.

    My criticism would be that I think you need a beta, as there are some typos here and there and you have some date discrepancies as well that take away from what is otherwise an awesome fic. As for the dates, when the letter from Snape comes home to Sirius, it says the meeting is in April, but then everyone is suddenly talking about Harry coming home for Christmas in a few weeks. Really, that's an easy fix though.

    Your Sirius is quite good and sassy. My favorite part was "behave" and then "badly" lol. Very nice. I really enjoyed this fic.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review! I was a bit worried about the end because of how quickly the mood changed (and because I'm a bit of a sappy happily-ever-after sort of person) and whether it fitted but everyone seems to have liked it! *sighs in relief*

    Thanks for the con crit too, I really ought to get myself a beta; I'm just so darn impatient! When I've written something I just hate waiting for it to go through the beta-ering process. I fixed as many typos as I could find (I expect I missed some though) and I fixed the dates! In the plan, it was always taking place just before Christmas so I have no idea what was going through my head when I typed April!

    I'm glad you liked my portrayal of Sirius; he's my favourite character! Well, him and Remus.

    And Snape

    And Harry.

     This list could just keep on growing!

    Wow. And a surprise ending to boot. Wasn't expecting that. I enjoyed it. Thanks for writing it.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review! I thought that part might take a few people by surprise, I do like to add little twists though. I was slightly worried that it wouldn't work but everyone seems to have reacted well to it.

    Well, I really enjoyed writing it so lots of thanks to you for writing the challenge!

    Aw, this was really sweet. There were a few errors however, such as why was Hagrid teaching and why was Harry taking Care Of Magical Creatures if he's only in first year? And also, homework etc was marked in percentages up until fifth year, not the O to T system. It was these small things that kept on derailing me when I was reading. I mean, I kept on thinking "hang on, is he eleven, thirteen or fifteen?"

    But otherwise, lovely! I really liked it, I thought it sweet. I loved the relationship between Sirius and Remus and Harry, and you really kept the characters (Sirius in particular) in character. Also, the twist was good, didn't see it coming. I really should by now, the amount of times it happens on this site, yet every time I'm surprised. O_o

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review and for correcting my mistakes! Harry is now on his way to 'Transfiguration' and stops by at Hagrid's Hut on the way to speak to him, and the homework is now marked in percentages. Hopefully, that's everything fixed. Thanks so much for pointing that out.

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm a bit of a sap for Remus-Sirius-Harry bonding but also Severus-Harry father-son, so I thought I'd add a bit of both but add the little twist that Harry doesn't know about it!

    Thanks again!

    This piece is wonderful. I'd love if you continue it or make a sequel of it. You really do have a lot of material here you could work with.

    It has to be so hard for Severus with the situation, and I can see why he's wanting more of Harry. He knows there has to be talent there somewhere.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review! I would quite like to continue too, but I just always worry that I will ruin something if I try and drag too much out of it. I also have a LOT of WIPs over at FF.net which need finishing off so I really ought to concentrate on those.

     A sequel might be possible though.

    Thanks again!
