    Oh . . . . bad move there Harry. It'll be very interesting to see how Snape deals with him once the itching starts, and I love the way Harry appealed to Vampyr to let him get back at Snape. You're doing a great job of keeping them in character.

    Man, Snape is so behaving is such and incredibly confusing way in this story -- I love it! It's an incredibly creative way to get to the father/son roles without the standard formula.

    I particularly enjoyed how much this chapter reveals about Snape and Harry. While Snape's questions under the veritaserum make it seem like he's looking for affirmation of how good he is at being nasty ("Do you fear me?"), I think he's actually wanting to hear that Harry *doesn't* fear him, that he *does* like living there, etc.

    With Harry, we learn that while the above may not be precisely true, he is more conflicted than either of them probably imagined.

    This was a truly lovely story and I'm dying of curiosity to see it's ultimate resolution.

    Cheers.

    Ooo... I can see why Snape's voice is strangled sounding- Harry could be facing some serious toxicity issues.

    Plus those plants he just trampled- what about the sap of those plants? Belladona, Foxglove and Nightshade are often associated with witchcraft, did Snape have those in his garden? What if they are mixed with the poison ivy sap now?

    Darn, now you've got me googling poison ivy overdose. I've also gone to a yahoo group, Fanfic med, to ask them about poison ivy overdosage problems.

    Oh, yeah, Snape could be in real deep doo-doo. Caring for a child suffering from toxicity issues, and he's hiding Harry's presence in his house from Dumbledore. Would Harry be recovered enough from the toxicity problems when school starts?

    Not surprised about Harry playing in the mud, all boys like to get dirty. And destroying Snape's garden is the sort of petty revenge that some boys would engage in. Along with flinging mud at the windows. Very pre-teen boy behavior. I'm sure 11 year old Snape would have done the same.

    Snape kidnapping Harry is also very petty. I'm sure that if Snape had asked Dumbles about Harry staying at Spinner's End I'm sure Dumbles would have said okay. In canon Dumbles was always trying to get Snape to see Harry as Harry (or at least as Lily's son) as much as he kept trying to get Harry to trust Snape. One wonders how things might have gone if the two had at least trusted each other. (They wouldn't have had to like each other.)

    Should I also mention that Snape's vertiserum incident also very petty. Those two are pretty similiar sometimes. Not sure Harry and Snape would like to be compared.

    Eagerly anticipating the next chapter.

    As soon as the Veritaserum appeared I wondered why I hadn't been expecting it. And now--poor Harry. He just can't win, can he? Severus is still seriously disturbed, but we are getting more of a hint that Harry is showing him himself and that he is doing some growing and changing.

    Oh no! Poor Harry! He's just being a kid, a little rebellious and then he gets covered in poison ivy! Geez! I like the questioning part though, when Harry has to tell the truth and he doesnt want to and he almost cries, its realistic.

    Well, it's kinda good to see Harry get comeuppance for this particular rebellion. Sorry, but he really does have to learn that he should think before he acts. You chose well, with the poison ivy!
    Snape'll be pissed off--and rightly so--but he'll also HAVE to treat Harry's poison ivy pustules. They spread the poison wherever they break. Good thing Severus has magic to use! He won't have to touch him, or at least, as much!

    With any luck, even this rebellious Harry will have to realize just how stupid he was, here!

    I think what you meant to have Severus throw the literally bloody potato in was the WASTE (as in garbage) bin, rather than the "waist" (as in mid-torso area) bin.
