The End? More like: The Best End! Loved the fact that Harry now sees their relationship in a bright new light. But my fave scene is the one between Sirius and Severus-- I don't think I've ever seen their mutual acknowledgement handled quite so well in any other stories. And the difference is the boggart between them; without it, a reconciliation of this degree simply wouldn't be possible. A little touch of genius on your part, Whitetail! :-)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much shadowienne! I always thought that Severus and Sirius had so much in common, and that they actually could have respected each other if they just knew from the start that they came from similar situations. I am glad that you liked that. I really enjoyed writing their little subplot, so I am so happy it was enjoyed!

Underpants!!! I never would have guessed! Hahahahahaaaaaa! But sometimes it takes a child to logic things out... Love it! :-D ! // The cupboard scene caught me by surprise; I'd thought Sev would get trapped in there and have to be let out, but I never expected what he found! How terrifying for poor Sev. And what a revelation for the adult on scene-- wonder how that might develop later on... But seriously, this chapter took me from laughter to tears-- great job!
Author's Response: I am so happy to know you liked it shadowienne! I had fun with the superhero thing. Underpants indeed ... I am also pleased you enjoyed the cupboard scene. I really have been dying to have Sirius find out Severus' boggart for a long time, especially as a child. Anyway, thanks so very much for the review! It totally made my day!

Minerva with her wand in her teeth... If push came to shove, I'll bet she could work some pretty awesome magic even so!

The laundry games were fun (esp the sock puppet!), but bathtime was the best! Sev has quite an imagination! (I'll admit I envy him-- I wasn't permitted to play with toys in the tub, so I didn't get much to imagine...) "I gave one last moan..." That is hysterical! Loved it!

Definitely different, but I really enjoyed it! It amazes me how many adults seem to forget what it feels like to be a little kid; I haven't forgotten, and playing "make-believe" was always lots of fun! I did wonder about Sev naming his bear Alex-- wonder if we'll find out who his inspiration is? In the meantime, he has all the essentials: besides Alex, Sev had a blankie, overalls, a hippogriff on his wall, and plenty of playmates, even if they are weird teenagers, especially the dragon in the dirt! Ha!
Good-- a multi-faceted opening! Can't wait to see how the Weasleys will fit into the summer (along with Molly's wooden spoon?), and what kinds of "misadventures" the boys get up to! But what had me laughing out loud was the scene with rampaging furniture-- I used to work retail furniture, & we'd have to lift/carry furniture until the owner got those slides that let you just push stuff across the floor (store had combo of carpet, wood, & tile). My tiny co-worker took to moving SOFAS by herself; she'd gallop past the front desk with the sofa whizzing lengthwise ahead of her, shouting, "GANGWAY!" Your scene gave me a hearty laugh as I flashed back! ;-)
That was a good story. I am a sucker for de-aging stories, especially ones where Severus finally enjoys a happy childhood. And then when he finally regained his real age, Sirius apologized for the way he treated Sev in the past.
Author's Response: I'm happy that you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for taking the time to review!
The Supersev part was cute, especially when the other kids joined in the game. It was nice to see Sirius take care of the boggart. That should give him something to think about.
Author's Response: Oh Supersev ... I did love writing that part. Yes, Sirius should have a lot on his mind, shouldn't he? Thanks for the review!
I liked the scene between Ron and Draco. Now that Ron has that out of his system they should be able to at least tolerate each other. I am looking forward to Severus on the toy broom in the Quidditch game. He seems to be having a good time as a child.
Author's Response: I am quite pleased you liked Ron and Draco's scene. I wanted them to be able to throw some things at each other that would make them think, and therefore understand eachother a little more. Thanks for reviewing!
Poor Severus. Tortured by Death Eaters and then, when we thought he was rescued, deaged into a six-and-a-half year-old. At least he is enjoying being a child this time.
Author's Response: Yes indeed. Poor Severus ... Thanks for dropping a line!
I like the way the story is written from Severus' point of view. It makes an interesting read. I am also glad you decided to make a series of this AU. The first story was so good. I look forward to continuing the adventures.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! I do love finding reviews after things have been completed.
*sniff* that was beautiful!
Author's Response: I am so happy that you liked it. Thank you for dropping a line!
