that has to be one of the finest year 1 potions class chapters that I have ever seen in several thousand HP stories - loved it - Having Neville stand up to snivellus from the get go is fabulous - can't wait to see where you take us.
this should put that manipulative bastard dumbledork on notice as well that he cannot favor his greasy boytoy any more.

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the Potions class. Neville decided he wasn't going to put up with Snape's BS and took over that part of the chapter.
And, as I've mentioned in other responses, Albus isn't going to be a MOB in this story. There are too many stories out there, and some of them are even well done GRIN but I don't think I have anything new to say about the character, so I'm trying to go a different route with him.
Thanks for your feedback. I was planning to get some more written, but, between massive computer problems over the weekend, and doing my taxes today, I really haven't had the time.
