I really love this little story. The young Harry is simply perfect. One can imagine him in all his innocent, without losing the view of the man he will ultimately become.
I particularly loved Snape and his reaction to the little intruder. Most of all: Had the man not been enjoying his light buzz, he might have commented on the rudeness of little boys. "I'm here to make sure the boogie man doesn't get you," he said under his breath, finding the truth ironic in the extreme.
I'd have loved the story to be longer, but it's absolutely stunning the way it is!

PS: I'm going to rec this fic in my LJ, which is hopefully okay. If not, just let me know. :)
I hope to read more of your wonderful fics soon (and I hope to finally find the time to catch up on "Death Eater takes A Holiday", which I sadly stopped reading ages ago) :D

Yeah, I do feel light...or more like lost. lol Now what? Glad you liked the little snarry. It's so short compared to the DETaH chapter that I felt funny posting it. :)

Hi. This is actually a DETAH Question. I am currently re-reading it (again) and I'm in the Meet Joe Black chapter. My question is, the black bird that delivered the note 'warning' of Harry's impending kidnapping by his trainers, was that bird Severus?
