Wow, really different concept and I like how the Harry and Hermione (and Neville) struggle with the de-aged children who are and aren't their tormentors. I noticed you haven't updated in a while, please do!

Thank you for this story.
One of the things I like best about it is that you (and your Hermione, at least) understand what the wizards playing with Memory Charms seem not to: that removing the memory does not remove the experience.
It does, however, remove from the victim/survivor any possible context for processing the experience.
That sequence of Severus being stripped of himself was agonizing: nicely done.
And the interactions between the damaged child and the damaged trying-to-be-adult were also nicely judged.
Are you really a non-native English speaker? Your fics don't at all read like translations. (And I have, long ago, translated a tiny bit of my own work, so I have some clue to what judgments are involved, plus reading in another's translation some of my more recent work. "Poetry, that which is lost in translation" is as an aphorism true enough, but incomplete. Lacking the full range of subtleties. Which of course makes it the more accurate, in effect. Are your posts here really translations?)
Anyhow, thanks much for this story! Terri

I hope you haven't forgotten about your story here. Severus young is a character I've never read before. Your story is fresh in that stand point. Please update soon.

"To Be Continued ..." - yes, please do.
And if you don't mind, would you also update "Proof of Life"?
I love those two stories and can't help but wonder, whether you have abandonned them. I hope not. I keep looking now and then and still hope to find a new chapter every time I look.

Dear Emily (:D)
I don't want to bother you, but could you, please, answer me for one question?
Khem khem... watch out... where I can find Unbreakable and why I can't find it anywhere? :C

Excellent story. Enjoying it very much. Poor Harry with a teenaged Snape. Love the role reversal. Can't wait for an update.
