-snicker- Oh, that is a good one and entirely plausible. I suspect Albus is going to be in for a very, very rude awakening as, if he manages to return, will Tom.

Yup, wouldn't want to be either of them.

Review of chapter "The Dark Lady" from SusanAnthony
Review:
This was an original and intriguing view of Lily! I hope you do continue this story someday.
Comments from author:
Thanks. Thought it'd be interesting to see a more Slytherin version of her.

Very nice twist on the usual Severitus-like stories I see - I like this one a lot! Have a Cool Yule, by the way!
Comments from author:
Given how long Sev and Lily were friends - even before getting to Hogwarts - I see them scheming against anyone and everyone to change the world to their liking.
Happy Hols to you as well.

Excellent story. Very well written & full of lots of information. It does have possibilities for further expansion with HP off to Hogwarts. But, it does stand alone very well too. Not that I'm pleading for a further story, but it would be very very nice.
Comments from author:
While I'm intrigued at writing more eventually, I'm glad the bedtime story worked as a oneshot.

this would be a good intro for a story , you can see the possabilites branching out from this chapter, this looks like it would make a fic and would be interesting to see .
Comments from author:
Not that I necessarily like this Lily more, but it does explain why she'd choose a bully like James over her life-long friend Sev. And why Sev would turn on his best friend - and love interest.

Review of chapter "The Dark Lady" from NeverTooOld
Review:
Nicely done. Normally stories that have Snape as Harry's father lack any sort of coherent back story or rational to explain WHY things ended up the way they did. Although short, this one did a good job of explaining why a half-blood bastard appeared to be the champion of pure-blood supremacists. What better way to weaken the pure-blood power structure while implementing long-term eugenics (still popular back then) to strengthen the wizarding gene pool. I especially liked Lily as the Dark Lady, the one in the shadows who opposes the 'leader of the light', Dumbledore, who works so hard to keep women in their 'proper place', you know, bare foot and pregnant and utterly under the thumb of their lord and master.
Keep up the good work.
Comments from author:
It'd be crazy for Voldemort to declare war openly on the purebloods, but to trick them into killing each other off? That's the kind of sociopathic brilliance I'd expect of him. The last bit about Lily=Morgana was totally unexpected to me. Then I figured that with as feministic as she was coming off, she would probably see Morgana as an oppressed witch who fought back against Merlin. And if I continue on in this 'verse, I'd probably add some books/scrolls to back up that belief.

Review:
Ooh! Very interesting! I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. :D
Comments from author:
Thanks. The big part would be to figure out how to get rid of Dumbledore - as he's the biggest threat to Harry becoming king.
