O.O.....This is posbably the most realistic idea for Harry Potter\'s \"Power the Dark Lord Knows Not\" I can compltetely see it all happening, very sad ending to me thou I mean once you\'ve had magic you REALLY don\'t what to give it up-and its sad that Harry has no chioce but to. Nice that he\'ll have Snape with him thou ^_^. I really liked this keep up the good work! ^-^

I really loved this story. I love snarry and I think of your fic as one of the better ones I\'ve read. (And I\'ve read a lot)

The ending was especially good. Very original(I am SICK of all the happily ever after fics) and you captured the mild insanity to Harry perfectly.

I am thoroughly enjoying reading this amazing story. Maeglin, you have managed to capture all the components to keep this story so scrumptious, that I don\'t want to ever put it down. The interplay of the characters is delectable, especially where Harry tells off his friends, just to enjoy Snapes\' presence and to actually learn something. The games are short, sweet and also, remarkably, have a point to them. Your imagination is astounding, I\'m in awe. But most interestingly, you\'ve addressed the one thing no one else has, Harry\'s temper and lack of control. More mind games that you can shake a wand at and revelations about Snape that make him most intriguing.

Sorry now, I\'ve got to finish reading this, only half way through.

That was... *breathes* Well, I don\'t really know what to say. It was absolutely beautiful. Far more deserving of the 5 reviews it has. It was just absolutely amazing. Very well written, VERY few grammar and spelling errors and the story was just breathtaking. I\'m happy I found it when it was finished--I don\'t what I would have done if I had to wait for a chapter. >.< I don\'t really know what else to say that would do this fic justice... it brought tears to my eyes towards the last chapter.... (I was at work while I was reading it too...-_-0) Keep writing such wonderul and breathtaking fics as this--it was perfect. ^_^

HOLY SHIT!!! After one of the most beautiful love affairs I\'ve read in slash, this is almost an unspeakable. I take it Harry never mastered wandless magic, and for his sake, thank God!

I couldn\'t help feeling a little dismayed when I got to the epilogue, not even an \'afterglow\' to linger on. All the truths that they shared and the feelings shared, I\'m just glad they ended up together and that Severus could control Harry. How very sad, one of the lessons Severus had taught him was never to be without his wand...*sniff, sob*

I must say that your calibre has shown through here and after perusing your vast collection of works, I\'m sure I\'ll find something else of interest to read. I bow down to you and your pen.

Thank you ever so much for a few days of most enjoyable reading. It was time well spent.

WOW!!! Seriously, this is one of the best stories I\'ve ever read. I nearly cried at the end. I loved the way the whole story progressed and I really liked the ending, even if it was a bit sad. Keep up the good work with all of your stories.

This was... This was... I don\'t even have words for how wonderful it was. The writing, the way you captured Snape and Harry together perfectly, the story and the unusual magic... great!

The best thing about this, I think... was the super long chapters. I mean, it took mye like an hour each! Congrats on that...

But I also realy liked the fact they they were both in chracter. Snape was nasty and sarcastic and utterly lurvurly... I loved it! I mean, he finally got through to Harry - made him see that he was WRONG! I lOVE that! Snape has been right about everything he ever said to Harry... but so few people seem to realize that - that\'s how good a writer J. K. Rowling is. ^^ And you made him realize it, and kept them In Character! Bravo!

*deep breath* Sorry - this review was probably pretty annoying, huh? Don\'t worry - I\'m not a wierdo -I\'m just hyper and i really liked your story.
