    God poor Harry - he's such a wreck! What's even sadder is that Snape thinks his kindness is just for revenge. Boy wont he be surprised? I'm hoping anyway. Great chapter, I'm still very glad you didn't leave this a one-shot.

    Author's Response: Snape is really clinging to the idea of revenge, isn't he? I hope it's obvious that Harry's starting to mean more to him than that.

    I love this story even though it makes me want to cry for Harry. Please update soon!

    Author's Response:

    I know it's wicked of me but I'd rather make people cry than laugh... but things will get better for Harry in the end and then you won't have to cry for him, 'kay?

    Hope you like the new chapter.

    Your Snape is doing a wonderful job of vacillitating.  At times the snarky potions master and at times an almose human. . . . human.  I' curious why Draco is interested in Harry.  I would guess that the episode where Harry rejects Draco's hand of friendship didn't happen in this story.  Thanks for the update!

    Author's Response:

    You're correct, it didn't. Can you imagine this scrawny little Harry having the courage to reject someone to their face?

    Poor Snape, he can't make up his mind to be truly nice or truly nasty.

    Excellent as always!  I don't think Harry's too needy--he's OOC for the canon, yes, but then the canon Harry seemed a little too normal and well adjusted to me for someone who'd literally grown up in a cupboard and was neglected and certainly verbally abused.  As for Draco, I vote he should be trustworthy.

    Author's Response: Thanks! You're quite right about Draco. The cliche of Draco-turns-good is perhaps overdone, and yet ... Draco's never been truly evil. At least he's nowhere as evil as Snape is and we all can imagine Snape being redeemed, can't we?

    This story is so painful to read, and I rarely feel that way even in extremely angsty stories.  It's the juxtaposition of a strongly IC Snape, and this very fragile and fearful Harry.  As to Harry being OOC -- well, putting him in Slytherin automatically tells the reader that he's not strong enough and confident enough to object to the Sorting Hat.  What would it take for canon Harry to be like your Harry?  Probably not a lot.  Probably just a bit more abuse from the Dursleys -- not necessarily major physical abuse, just some.  Dumbledore in canon is right to be amazed at how Harry turned out.  Living in a home where the child is put in a closet for weeks at a time (Harry recalls at least one incidence of this in canon where he goes in while school is in session and doesn't get out until after summer holidays had started), combined with lack of decent nutrition, serious verbal and other emotional abuse, and general neglect, is more likely to produce a child closer to your Harry than to canon Harry. 

     

    So, basically what I'm saying is that your Harry may be OOC, but he still makes sense. 



    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad that you understand Harry here. I feel quite guilty about making him suffer so much and yet I can't imagine him reacting any other way either.

    I'm too lazy to login, but that's my penname at any rate.  I like Draco as trustworthy.  I'd say Harry's gonna need as many trustworthy people as he can get.

    Author's Response: I do like your penname and thanks for the advice about Draco.

    Sigh. Exquisite.

    You had me feeling os much for Harry... and Snape, surprisingly. He IS trying, even if he isn't all that great at connecting with Harry just yet. Which is beleivable, by the way, aching in that they are both so confuseda bou the other, but very beleivable. Oh, the description of his time in the lab was perfect, as well, the details were absolutely beautiful!

    I find myself torn. Part of me wants to see them come together and everything turn out happy, but the other part loves the gradual way that you are developing the story. Obviously, the non-greedy side is winning! It's a great story and i'm glad you're not rushing through it, the little moments deserve the amount of time you're giving them.

     I'll be wiating for the next chapter eagerly!



    Author's Response: Thank you, I'm so glad that you're enjoying it and find it believable. I'm a bit frustrated with the pace of the story as well ... I've been meaning to get to Halloween for at least two chapters now, but Harry and Snape have their own ideas about that.

    Poor child.  My heart goes out to him.  And do I see Snape falling for the kid?  *evil laugh* Do I smell Snape adopting Harry here?


    Author's Response: Hmm ... not sure if there will be an adoption any time in the near future, but it's definitely a possibility later on. And yes, poor Snape is caving.
