I just discover this story and I like it very much! I can't help but see it has been a while since who write it... Hope inspiration strike one day, until then I will wait I guess!!

Glad to see the update.  Looking forward to the next.

I loved the comment  about Julie having a girl's name. LOL I've b een thinking that  since I first saw it. Ahahaha

The point is that I'm not getting this story. It seems like a slow, increasing agony for Severus. In the beginning, he had found a reluctant hapiness with a girl he 'almost' calls his own, then things become more complicated and he suffers. With each new introduced character (Harry, Julius, Ron, Millicent (oh, my!)), Snape's grip of his life is slipping ever so slightly more. He does not only have his new social interactions to deal with, he is threatened by some Dark organisation. What you set up in store for him is frankly astonishing. I sincerely hope you plan a happy ending, although I can't phanthom one just now.

Well it was worth the wait.  Your writing of the everyday happenings in a very crowded house is sublime.

Haha and wow! The laugh is for the arse comment and the wow is for being able to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Fun chapter!  This is quite an intriguing story.  I'm looking forward to more.

I'm really enjoying this, especially the getting along.

My, my, Snape seems to be softening towards Harry - are you setting this up for some spectacular row or something? :D

I had been wondering how you would handle things once Harry was released, and  must say I really like the way you have them interacting.

More, and soon please :) 

hehehe. I'm with Severus! At least it wasn't the whole Weasley lot! Now, I wonder what's next?!

Snape a father figure? - the poor girl! Nice start though. I look forward to the rest of it.

Hey there!

I found this story over Southern witch's fic rec, and I love it - I like your characterizations, like Severus and Maries interactions and am definitely looking forward to more! Oh, and I can SO see Hermione doing what she did - for one cause she's overjoyed about Harrys recovery and then to help Marie - even if living with Potter sucks for Severus, I think it's a real chance for Marie.

Thanks for sharing!

Poor Severus. I feel so bad for him, and I'm rather upset at Hermione. Nice of her to tell Severus Harry was staying there until after he'd already moved in. I'm not much of a Harry fan, and I can only imgaine how Severus must feel, to know he's going to have to live under the same roof of Harry - who he definitely isn't fond of.Again, poor Severus. I'm almost hoping he leaves...But either way, I simply can't wait to see what happens next. Please update again soon! :)

Ah, what a twist. ~snicker~ Can't wait to see how things work out. :)

I love Snape's response to Rita's question about being back in the wizard world.

hahaha. the image of severus running in the grass in a grey nightshirt (my mind added grey socks and the dew) is priceless. HAhaha

I have my suspicions about these people. I must say that I feel so badly for them to lose their home and all the special things (like him reflecting on the loss of her first little artwork and such...). That would be what I'd hate to lose, too.

I've just finished reading all six of the chapters that are currently posted. I've enjoyed it because it reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of Masterpiece Theater, Silas Marner with Ben Kingsley as Silas. I just checked it out on IMDb and found out it was first shown in 1985, it certainly doesn't seem like I first saw it over 20 years ago.I had found the novel extremely boring when we were required to read it in 10th grade, but now it has become a favorite. Severus is a perfect Silas, and Marie has him wrapped round her finger just as Eppie had Silas. I love what I've seen of the relationship the two of them have.I'm hoping desparately that you won't turn the story into an SS/HG pairing. Not only do I hate that pairing, but it doesn't go with the story the way you've written it or the way George Eliot/Mary Anne Evans wrote it. It's a love story about a man and a child, about how that child changed the fundamental character of that man with the truly paternal love he developed for her. That's exactly what you have Marie doing for Severus.

I will be waiting for your next update.

It was nice to have some background. What will happen now?

Strange ending.  Looking forward to the next chapter.

Psychological suspense is what you're giving us, and I like it. Marie is very perceptive, isn't she?

Ah, Hermione always trying to serve justly, without taking into consideration the consequences thereof. Harry really didn't need that shock and Severus shouldn't feel as if he needs to be on the defensive to save his relationship with Marie. Good thing that Marie doesn't have any of the hang-ups her two fathers have. Looks like she will be the glue to cement the future.

I like this story so far, very original. Looking forward to more. 

I'm looking forward to seeing how this story plays out, so far i'm quite enchanted.

I like this beginning. I'd really like to see where you're going with this.

Your description of Snape's flight with Marie had me as breathless as he was. Well done job! now, I wonder what that phoenix was for.
