While I don't like reviewing if I haven't read the whole story yet, I am confused with something you wrote in chapter 10 and wanted to ask you about it before I forgot. So; sorry about my review being incomplete...
My problem is the following: In mentioned chapter 10 you wrote: >>

Hi
I\'m not normally a nit piker but thought it might be helpful as a Brit to point out a couple of things? It\'s intended entirely constructively as I\'m enjoying the story!
1. In the UK (which is what we caurseurselves - rarely England as that is quite offensive to the other parts of the UK unless you specifically mean just England) we use feet and inches for height not meters - although the rest of Europe does indeed use metric measurements.
2. We don\'t have the Euro so Harry would have pounds unless he\'s been on holiday.
3. While Asda is big British supermarkets don\'t sell nightvision goggles or swiss army knives, it\'s basically just food with a few aisles of clothes and electricals.
4. The British police are unarmed (and so are the security men) - Hermionie would not assume someone challenging her had a gun - the only time armed units are deployed is fir firearms are known to be being used by the criminals or at airports and terrorist targets.
5. Hermionie would be the size of a houe if she ate an \"English\" breakfast everyday - really people only eat fry ups as a treat!
6. Finally Hermionie\'s plan of running to the USA is iusabusable for a Brit - I hate to say it but a really common view of America here is that Americans turn up with too late for every fight and only when it\'s in their interests - sorry if that souharsharsh - it\'s a WWII hangover but still very real. Some one British would run the the European courts - based in The Hauge (or their magical equivalents!) as they do actually interceed on our behalf.
Anyway great tale.

Wow, Im completely gobsmacked, that has got to be the most harshly realistic and characteristic Severus back story I have ever read!
Just like Hermione, we can totally beliit eit ever thought we really dont want to.
Sadly once again I have nothing constructive to say, just a lot of admiration.
Waiting with baited breath for the next chapter.

Well, I sat up until 3:30 in the morning reading this story, and I only have this to say.
Where the heck is the rest of it?
I like the way this developed, the relationship between Hermione and Severus, how Ron and Harry qui quick to set aside their differences with Snape to help him. I wanted to smack the Patil twins so badly my hand itched. Nicholas was fun to meet, and I almost cried at Albus\' passing.
I hope Ron\'s okay. And I\'m anxiously waiting to find out what happens with Harry, Hermione and Severus.
Update soon, please?
