I find it ironic that Snape's doing all this stuff to prevent a Horcrux Harry when he was partially at fault for doing so in the first place. You'd think that since Snape, being as he is now, isn't going to rat out any prophecies foretelling Voldemort's downfall, he'd think that part through and find that he DOESN'T really need to go that far.
Or he could have thought of it and then extrapolate it to something entirely ridiculous.
Anyways, it's a good chapter and I'm definitely waiting for moar.
Poor Snape. He's so intent on doing the Right Thing--and so sure that he knows what the Right Thing is--that he's probably hurting himself, in the long run.
I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed this story! I'd never read a piece of fan-fiction before a friend sent me a link to _The Apprentice_. My snobby preconception of fan-fiction was that it was all a bunch of teenage girls' poorly-written Harry/Malfoy wet dreams, but I'm very happy to have been proven wrong. I literally stayed up all night to read all of it that you've written so far, and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for a wonderful reading experience, and keep up the fantastic work!
Ha! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it. (And don't worry, you weren't totally wrong--there IS a lot of poorly-written Harry/Malfoy out there...) There's a ton of great fanfiction out there if you wanted to read more--one of my favorite rec sites is Know It Alls (mujaji.net/kia), though of course there are more out there; that's just the one I tend to check myself.

Just wanted to pop in and tell you how much I like your story (I don't have a fanfiction.net account), and that I really hope you keep it up! I'm hooked - your Severus is a fantastic character and I'm so interested to know where the story is going next. Of course I realize that you have a "real" life, too - I just hope you're able to finish the story as time permits.
PS - Thanks for turning me on to the Johannes Cabal books! I can definitely see the similarities with your Severus, and they made for very fun reading on my vacation. :)

I really got sucked into wedding planning over the last month...we went to visit venues, booked a photographer, went to caterers...basically all my free time was slurped up. But I've got enough planning stuff done now that I should be able to return to writing with more frequency, so thank you for your patience!
And you're welcome--I borrowed them from a friend when I was, I don't know, several chapters into writing, and it was so eerie! Loved them, even if it was a little weird to read someone else's similar take on different characters.

I've just got to tell you how wonderfully written this story is. I'm new to fanfics and never caught one in-progress before. I guess I've been spoiled so far, since I've only bothered to read completed stories.
Yours has me absolutely riveted. I was up until 3 am reading all through, and can't wait to continue the story. It's enthralling. Thank you so much for your writing.
