I like your idea about Snape as Santa Claus, it brings all kinds of amusing images to mind. However, I hope for the sake of the two lovebirds in your story that it never comes to pass. That is, unless you could wangle it as a reward for them at the end of the story.

(Chapters 1-6)

I've finally had a moment to start reading this story, and I have to say, I'm enjoying it as much as I am your other stories. I was a little leery at first about whether I was going to like it or not because it seemed like such an OOC thing for Harry to do, and I thought it was going to be another one of those Evil!Harry fics. What a pleasant surprise to find I was wrong. Harry is just undercover, not turned Death Eater-in-the-making. Yay!

I like it that he's guilt-stricken at the things he says to Ron and Hermione, yet still strong enough to do them in order to stick to the plan. Severus has taught him well. I love the relationship Harry and Severus have forged, and I like it that Severus is still essentially Severus, but that we get a glimpse of the hidden side of him.

Poor Draco. What a horrible trap to be caught in. Very much a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Having rape as a reward for service is a brilliant (not for Draco of course!) way of showing how truly twisted, evil, and full of himself Voldemort really is. What an awful psycological conundrum for Draco, do good and get raped, do badly and get killed. Awful too for Severus and Harry, having to accept the fact that rape is the lesser of two evils for Draco. Do or die indeed.

I would if I may, like to make just one tiny suggestion. If you put the passages which represent Harry's thoughts/inner dialogue in italics, or bold italics (since you've put the dream/vision sequences in plain italics) it would differentiate from regular dialogue and be a little less confusing to the reader. Other than that, I think this is a great story, and I'm very much looking forward to each new update.

Soooo need chapter 8!!! What does Draco say to that? How much of Harry's story is true?

Aww... I loved Potter's brash descriptions of what he wanted out of Malfoy and how he felt. He's so blunt and uncouth, its fantastic!

Keep up the great work. ^^

This story has a wonderful beginning. I have added this story to my ever-growing, alphabetized list of Harry Potter story bookmarks. Due to it's title it will be in the second group i check everyday. I know that most authors update every to everyother week. That is my question for you, how often do you update, and when do we find out Harry's plans, cause we ALL know, or at least suspect that he still wants Voldy-shorts dead....at least in this story, i suspect.

Looks good.

Good chapter.

Thank you, Sophia, I'm glad you are enjoying it. Honestly? I haven't got a set schedule of when I update, but this story has me so engrossed that there's every chance I will be updating every day. Even now I'm tempted to write the third chapter, and the first two were written earlier today. You can be guaranteed that it will, at the very least, be updated every week. However, as I said, it might be as many as twice a day.
