The conflagration at Godric's Hollow dies down, and the wizarding world comes to terms with two facts: the Potters are slain, and the Dark Lord has fled. Severus embarks on his own trail of revenge and ends up with quite a lot more than he bargained for.
(Rated for a later chapter.)

Reviews for Left Holding the Baby
I am amazed by how much I love this story. This is perhaps the best M//M hp fanfiction I have ever read! Thanks so much for writing it!!!

So sorry I've not responded to this sooner.Thanks so much for your lovely review.Scaranda
It's not a good thing, now that people know what's left of Voldemort is inside Harry.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
You're right,
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
; it's not good at all.Thanks for dropping by again, and for sticking with it.Scaranda
wow, good to know that Regulus don't have Voldemorts magic, I am confident that Severus will be able to keep Harry safe with the help of Lupin and Dumbledore. Looking forward to the next chapter when returning after my holiday, nice to have something good to look forward to
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
Thanks so much for that. Enjoy your holiday. Scaranda
Ooh the plot thickens. As does the romances. Enjoying!
Great spell but did all those brilliant minds not think of Kreacher. Kreacher lurves Regulus he does.
A fat Lucius? The Universe shudders.
Well I supposed that's one way to get rid of built up emotions.
Enjoying the story.
Can't add much to your last reviewer. It was a great piece of work, and I think I enjoyed the second reading even more than the first time I read it.Well done Scaranda. No one writes Severus quite like you do and no one takes AU to such heights and still keeps the characters so perfectly in character.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
Gee thanks! As thanks too for all the support you give me.Scar
Quite frankly,my dear.......that was bloody brilliant. I'm a bit sad that Lucius died (my daughter used to serve him coffee in Edinburgh last winter under his disguise as Jason Isaacs)........and what a fantastic twist with Severus being Harry's dad. I'm so glad that polyjuice was used and not a chicken baster! I'm going to miss this story....and I don't normally do slash.....but this was so good and so well written... and soooo...well done! Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
Thank you so much, Ali.I'm so please you enjoyed it, and a special thanks for ploughing through a tale which I understand is 'not quite to your taste' (I refer to the slash element).Thanks again.Scaranda
It's hard to believe in the end. I think being a ghost would be the worst thing. Being alone to wander the earth without our loved ones near. I also want more to this story. I want to see Severus's reaction to discovering Harry is truly his. I want to see how they deal with the Hogwarts years when they send both boys to school.
Their lives are so full of strings it's unbelievable.

I know I've read this before, but I can't quite remember if what I'm thinking about Andromeda is right, or if that was another story, but I don't want to post a spoiler.It's really quite exciting now. Make sure you post the next chapter before you go on holidays or anything like that. Not that you have a habit of leaving us hanging Scaranda dear, but it has been known.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
Don't worry, I'm not going on holiday.The final chapter will be posted before this weekend. Trust me; I was a Girl Guide (okay, I only went once). Thanks for that.Scaranda
This is not good. Sirius should have cut the elf's head off, that would have been the best way to keep it quiet.I like the way the portrait was as unable to elaboarte as Kreacher was. If Regulus didn't ask it the right question he didn't get the right answer.Looking forward to reading the next chapter. Steel
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
You're right; it's not good. And I never thought of Sirius continuing the Black family tradition of beheading house-elves; then again, I would have had to rewrite the story.Thanks again for the comment; I value them greatly.Scaranda
Regulus is becoming more and more Voldmort now, and hardly any of Regulus left.I love the way the two little boys are brought into the story without it really centering on them. Kind of seen but not heard.Everything is staring to come together, but none of it's very good--Vernon and Regulus and Kreacher escpecially.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
Just keep your eye on all them, Steel; they're a bad lot!Thanks for that.Scaranda
I like your Lupin too, and I like the way he handles Lucius without wearing kid gloves.I think Snape really would distance himself form the manor as though it was one thing to suspect something going on and quite another to have it confirmed. And he would think he could look after Harry too, whether he could or not.
Response from scaranda (Author of Left Holding the Baby)
You're right! I think Severus would have difficuly in knowing that everyone knew he was passed over, as he would see it.Thanks for that.Scar
