Oh my goodness thanks so much for the update. I really liked this chapter, Severus seems to be quite as ease with Harry. I just hope that Harry will learn to be at ease as well and will see in time that Severus is nothing like the Dursleys, and that he deserves all the simple things in life that he's been denied. I love his new familiars sense of humor, very funny. Keep up the great work, and please update again soon. LES
Author's Response: Severus is a verrry good actor. Because this was from Harry's point of view, we didn't see just how ill-at-ease Severus really was. He's doing this out of love for his best friend and a vow he made to her fourteen years ago. Eventually, Severus will learn to care for Harry as just Harry, but it will take time, just as it will take time for Harry to learn to trust Severus.
It took me a few days to get this far (with 2 jobs and the kids) but I love your story! More soon please!
Author's Response: Thanks! And done. :)

Awesome story!!! PLease update soon!!!
Author's Response: Thanks!
VERY convincing characterization and plot development. I'm really intrigued by the idea. I can *definitely* see Snape feeling an obligation to help a student in Harry's situation. I think the title says it all, really. Snape might not be the most pleasant of men, but I really do see him having a very deep sense of duty. I just can't see him allowing anyone to harm *any* student in his care without taking appropriate action. A very well thought out take on abused!Harry.
Author's Response: Thanks. That small idea was what started the whole story. I have a degree in education, so the reporting law mentioned is actually based in reality. It's pretty universal in western law, from what I can see. And, knowing Severus's background, I can't see him willingly stand back and allow something like that to continue. I'm trying for a slow evolution of their relationship. I've seen far too many stories with an abused!Harry suddenly latch onto Severus within a few chapters. I mean, the line between love and hate may be thin, as the saying goes, but it takes wuite a bit longer for people's feelings to change from one to the other than fifteen minutes! ;) 60,000 words in and Severus is still vehmently declaring that he doesn't like Harry at all!

This is awesome! Please continue, I love your portrayal of Harry and Snape and everyone and how you tweaked the book to fit the circumstances. I want to see how the summer goes and more!
Author's Response: Thank you.
Oh! I'm so glad he gets to use the mirror.
Loud cheers!
You have Severus in excellent form in this chapter. Wonderful.
I like how you gave a reason for the address on the invitation. It's something that's bugged me off and on for a while, even in canon.
