When will people ever learn? Variety is indeed the spice of life! It really gets my goat (?) that people feel the need to criticize a piece of work just because the characters don\'t fit into their preconceived notion that they established for themselves! I mean isn\'t that what makes writing so great? The ability to \"recreate\" an existing character and add some new dimensions to their flavor, a little uniqueness! You\'re doing a great job,sweetie! And I find humor about a child of Snape\'s being placed in Hufflepuff. Oh horror of horrors! You made me laugh by putting sour, snarky Snape into a humorous, totally human experience- how dare you sretch my imagination beyond the book! Keep up the good writing and try not to let the \"strictly by the booker\'s\" keep you awake at night! Somehow I don\'t think you will worry too much, eh? ;) Tengo que irme! Salud!
Hugs and kisses,

excellent new chapter. now if we could only know Hermione\'s true feelings on the matter and not just snape\'s speculations then things could get sorted out. if possible i would like to see longer chapters and with more Snape and his son interaction.

Well, I for one am very happy with your story and wouldn\'t change a thing. Regarding grammatical errors, they aren\'t a big deal unless they makes the entire story totally unreadable, IMHO. And I LOVED the fact that you sorted Hadrian into Hufflepuff. That dear house is greatly underrated...perhaps the power and excellence, Hadrian is showing, will finally bring glory to it. In my line of work, give me steady, unfailing consistency. And it was a reality check for his two socially inept parents.

I guess the bottom line is keep doing what you are doing and blah, blah, blah to those who have their knickers in a twist. Get a life.

Ch 12/11 - I\'m glad Severus came to that realization, but I still think he should\'ve told Hadrian honestly that he was bothered by Harry accusing him of \"abandoning\" Hermione and Hadrian. Because that may be what Hadrian has believed, or overheard. Plus, Severus already knows Hadrian is smart enough to hear unpleasant stuff. BTW, I\'m okay with Hadrian being in Hufflepuff; Cedric Diggory was a Hufflepuff and he was outstanding. Nothing wrong with being loyal and hard-working!

Well done! You did a great job keeping Snape in character as he worked through his thoughts. Now what is he going to do with his new understanding. If it were me, I\'d floo over immediately to Hermione, but Snape isn\'t me. :P Update soon.

I cannot believe that some cretin flamed you for your choice of house for Hadrian! How trite. This is a great story and I hope that you continue.

Hufflepuffs are supposedly the gentle, not so intelligent ones. Why didn\'t you at least put him in Ravenclaw? That\'s where the smarties are!
