Review for From the Diary of Severus- Year One

From the Diary of Severus- Year One

(#) theVerb 2010-11-28


1) "... half-blood, or with or wizard..." Clearly, you meant "witch"
2) "... let me tell you this- J have recently been..." I'm going to go out on a limb and say you were going for "I"
3) "... that the next seven years a Hogwarts will..." you missed a "t" there

You used three wrong words in an eighty-five word document? That tells me you didn't even read this over before you posted it. However, the first mistake (the "with" instead of "witch") could be easily explained away: Snape has a lisp. Of course the story would read like this if that were the case:

Hello. My name is Theveruth. I am eleven yearth old, and will thoon be leaving. Where am I going? Well, dear reader, be you muggle, half-blood, or with or withard, let me tell you thith- I have rethently been athepted into Hogwartth Thchool of Withcraft and Withardry. I am a withard. I have thtarted thith journal to log my 'adventureth,' both at thchool and at home. I hope that the next theven yearth at Hogwartth will be ath wonderful ath my father hath thaid...

I hope this is an AU fic, otherwise you have an error in regards to Snape's father – he was not a wizard and never attended Hogwarts according to canon.

Author's response

Thank you for the help. I posted this at 3 in the morning and you're right, I didn't check it over. I was trying to follow Severus' life as closely as possible, but made a slight change with his father. And I never said that his father WENT to Hogwarts, just that he held the school in high esteem.

Also, in the books, Severus is the Half-Blood Prince. His mother was a witch with the maiden name Prince, which is how I meant for the story to play out. It was 3 am. People make mistakes.
