I am nearly thirty, mother of three and work as a family helper with system therapy methods for a small, fine company in Berlin. I grew up in the East of Germany, hence, I still appreciate bananas (literally and symbolically) and speak Russian. I have studied Pedagogy, Sociology and Psychology. The Potterverse fascinates me for many reasons. The main one... it is my secret escape from a rather harsh reality. As I wake at stupid o'clock every morning, I have time to write, too. The topics are usually dark and involve abuse, violence, rape and severe psychological problems. I listen to a lot of music, mostly classical. A long time ago, I have applied to study Church Music (without being religious), but I wasn't accepted. Oh well. My favourite authors here are: Bellegeste, Cecelle, ApollinaV, FoolishWishmaker, Malora, owlsaway, WatchersGoddess, Seraphin1977 and ObsidianEmbrace. In general I like to read Fyodor Dostoevski, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Mikhael Sholokhov. The Russians just write the best stories in my opinion. Full of melancholy and sadness and alcoholism and poverty. Real and raw and awesome. I smoke, drink and work too much. Instant Owlers: Reviews by AllegroAssai
Something terrible has happened to Harry Potter… something so terrible that he is ready to end it all. And now he’s locked in a room with an angry Potion’s Master, who grows more and more curious every minute. Three chapters. Saddest story I’ve ever written in my life. Response to the 72 hour challenge.

What was particularly intriguing about this FF, something I don't see enough and people do not talk about... is the helplessness, the overstrained, overburdened feeling of the 'helper'. I remember being brought to psychiatry after my previously healthy, happy little boy suddenly fell into a coma and vegetative state, hearing nothing, seeing nothing, bleak prognosis, severe brain damage after encephalitis. I was so distressed, like your Harry, couldn't breathe, look after myself, wanted to die if things wouldn't get better and none of the wards or doctors wanted me, none of them could cope. Some were quite outspoken about their inability to take on 'a case like that, because we don't know what could happen'. You have described all of this very very well and you are talented. Keep going. 10/10. Author's Response: Oh, I'm very sorry about your little boy. Did he get better? I'm glad that you are better, and I hope this story didn't bring up too much negative emotion for you, although I am happy to hear that I hit the nail on the head with Snape and Harry's emotions. Some of the emotions I write into my stories are my own or those of people I know, but a lot of them are from me trying to put myself in their shoes and think about how I would feel in those situations. I'm also a Psychology major and some of these things are things I've learned about in school.
Thanks for reviewing. Harry Potter starts Hogwarts with high hopes of finding himself a real family, and holds tightly to this hope despite the torture his new Potion's Master seems intent on putting him through. Can Harry's hope hold out long enough to see his dream through?

Your Snape is spot on, so is your Harry. 13 years! That is what would have happened, they both are so stubborn. I found the whole immune dysfunction/ sickness, and then coma stuff really well done, so well done that it was difficult to read. I have spoken to my own boy in a coma, for weeks, with no reaction, everyone being there, like in your story (grandparents and all). I've seen children who had degenerative disease and we seemed to have been the only lucky ones in the whole ICU who had our child coming back to us (though it can take months to wake from a coma, but then, my boy is no wizard ;) ) ramble ramble Anyway... well done, it was gorgeous. It is a little known fact that Parselmouths are sensitive to certain kinds of music. Response to the Music Sensitivity challenge by Jan_AQ.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. <3. When Severus Snape discovers that Dumbledore has been using him in his plans to raise Potter like a pig for slaughter, Snape is livid. What happens when Snape discovers that Potter has been captured by Voldemort? After so many betrayals, with whom will Severus’s loyalties lie?

Love the anger he has as well. And poor Harry, I hope he recovers A fast little read about what happens when Harry isn't aware that someone is listening to him rant.

PS Yes, my boy is okay now, thank you for asking :) Author's Response: You're welcome, and I'm so glad he's ok! After the war, Harry attacks Snape with an unorthodox and potentially lethal proposal. Chaos ensues.

Well written, I really liked it. Snape loses control and severely injures Harry. Both of them must deal with the consequences. The question is, will they have to deal with them alone, or will they be able to work through them together?
