oh man now thats a secret  I would love seen told.  Could you imagine Severus face when the charm falls?  And Harry,  he would never believe it.   amazing

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Oh, God yes. Severus's face at that moment... as for Harry! I can't even begin to think what Harry would make of it, poor bloke, his life is already so screwed with to begin with...!!

Wowzers. I'd really like to know how she pulled that one off - really? Still, it's a nice one shot, and well written.

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

*grins* No, I haven't the foggiest idea how she'd manage that... I write weird fic, you know, and I hadn't thought about it till I started reading everyone's comments here, lol!

that was an interesting story.  it's kind of hard for me to see how lily could be so cruel and heartless, but i guess she thought it was better for everyone that way.  and your version would certainly give severus some serious incentive to hate young harry, wouldn't it.

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

It was an odd story, actually, lol. But you're right, it certainly would have given Severus incentive to hate Harry!

wow, that was cold.  But it did keep Harry and Severus safe for another 17 yrs.

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Mmm. Cold. Yes, that's a good word for it.

I've always thought Sev was upset that Harry wasn't his son.  You did a fantastic job.

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

I always thought that bothered him. Not just that Harry was Potter's, but that he wasn't his, you know...?

Wouldn't that be nice if this is how it went in canon? I loved it! I also love reading Severitus fics where Snape is Harry's dad so this fic is perfect! Thanks for writing!

Lily is cold, self-absorbed, arrogant and egoistic because it is "better that way". How little the witch differs from Muggles!

I love especially the reference to Petunia!

As she and her secret died shortly after this event, it might just fit into canon.

First I thought: Oh look, a Lily even I could like.And then: Oh, how mean of her!! How cold! I'll probably never like Lily, but I sure like your story.Thanks for sharing. /M

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Lily is.. complicated to write. For me, anyway. Thank you so much for your comment.

Ooh, this is truly interesting. I'm eager to see where this is going and what happens next. Update soon, please!

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Glad you liked it! *hugs*

Oh Lily what have you done to Severus - broke his heart.

And Harry is his son and no one will ever know.She obviously is aware she will be killed but wishes her son to live.

Super wee story. Thanks for writing and sharing.

I absolutely love this story, which is strange because I usually dont sail the SS/LP ship.  Brilliantly written, lots of angst, overall fabulous! Five stars and Favourite.

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Thank you so much! Especially since it's not 'your' ship! :)

wonderful story, I felt Lily's agony when reading. 5 star all the way for this one

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Thank you...

Wow! What an interesting concept.  I have often thought even in Cannon that Severus resented Harry because he wished that he had been the one to give Lily a child.  Have you been practicing Legimency on me?  Well done.  Irish

Response from Jenwryn (Author of A Deft Hand At Charms)

Hehe, thanks for the comment! No Legilimency I promise, lol! Hugs, Jen.
