What Minerva would say were she to know that Severus is finally eager to learn about Harry's life. And poor Ginny! Her death is symply horrible, even of she didn't suffer and died happy.

Severus and his world known insecurities. I don't think he will ever get rid of them. But that's what makes him so attractive, right? Still, I wonder if he can let his guard down long enough to befriend someone.

I found already Harry as bird a brilliant idea, but now Snape, too - brilliant idea! Their meeting goes surprisingly well and was told simply wonderfully.

Author's Response:

thanks! :)

And now they meet - and manage quite well to hide the fact that both like to be friendly. Old habits die hard and can be quite an obstacle to something new.

Author's Response: LOL That's so true!

Ah, the cultural misunderstandings! *smiles* One probably has to make similar mistakes to fully appreciate them; I think they're really cute.
And Snape seems some kind of being at a loss... cute in its way, too.

Author's Response: Thank you! I hope you continue to like this.

Does this necklace-throwing and breast-showing custom really exist? As an European, I "grew up" with the cliché of the prudish and uptight Americans and am rather surprised that such a custom would be possible.
The encounter between Lily and Snape is lovely, as is your showing of Harry's kids in this and the next chapters.

Author's Response: It sure does exist! :) Well, only here in New Orleans that I know of. Women show their boobs for idiots with beads just to get one. :) We call this Mardi Gras season (lots of parades with people on floats throwing beads and goodies out), but on Bourbon Street, you see that all the time now.

Alcina vom Steinsberg's response: Get an idiot or a bead? *rofl* Weird passtime. Oh well - don't ask what people do here in Germany on Carnival time... I'm rather glad not to live in a "dangerous" region *g*.

Most stories written in the first persona I saw so far really had difficulties in pulling this off - your storie definitly doesn't, but gives a refreshing point of view instead.
Harry's wish for this escape is truly understandable, as is Snape's living there for somehow the same reasons.

Author's Response: Thanks! I had reservations about using first person at first, but I'm glad I did. :)

I'm not surprised at their reactions to each other.  Severus has just the right amount of prickly to him.

This is such a well-written story.  I don't usually like the first-person style, but I really like it here.  Having each chapter split on the POV is really interesting.  I am really enjoying this.~pb~

poor Ginny...but I love Lily's middle name - Lily Luna - very Rowlingesque

Eww, what a horrible way to lose your wife!

Very enjoyable. 

It's quite sad that Ginny died the way that she did, and in front of the children and all. I wonder how Snape will ever come to trust Harry?

Interesting to see that Snape is so understanding at once. I'd love to see them make up...

Time to reconsider their preconceptions.

Suspicious, isn't he.  Mind you, you, it's not paranoia if it is really happening!  :)

It should be quite the experience when these two meet.  I wonder who will be more shocked?

He doesn't know their names. This explains quite a few thing. I wonder if he'll be more shoked by meeting Harry or by discovering Al's complete name. Again great chapter.

Paranoid Snape, parnoid Harry - surely they have to meet soon ;-)Great chatper. Keep it coming!

Fine. Now could you get on with it, please? ;-)

oh its coming along - I can't wait for the mtg.  I just hope Severus doesn't go all snarky - though we all know and love that he does.  :)  And will Harry have the kids with him when they go back to the shop?  Exciting exciting

Great, just great. That Snape runs into Harry's children and his reaction to them - well, post the next chapter soon!

Just Muggles, eh? Oh, I'm sure he's going to meet Dad soon...

I wonder if he figured it out or if he will be taken by surprise...

I'm beginning to become really curious about what happen to Ginny, how she had died. Can I expect to discover it, or mybe it jut doesn't matter.
