    Awwwww *smiles*

    I've been reading for a while, and I don't review often, but this chapter made me smile after a long day, and I just wanted to say thanks to you for that.

    :)

    Author's Response: You're very welcome!  And thank *you* for taking the time to leave a note :)

    Oh my god, I'm totally crying over this chapter of your story. I don't think I ever have over fic before. That scene at the end, with Harry pressing himself against Severus and then getting picked up and falling asleep as they walked home! It's just so beautiful.

    I can't believe Albus did that, what an eejit! Was he going to do anything about them yelling at poor Harry?! I'm so glad that Severus heard about the meeting, that was horrible.

    It was slightly amusing that Harry was embarrassed about the picking up thing. He is an enigma. Loving, loving, loving your story! Is there much more to go now that you've identified the attackers?

    And the fact that they're Ravenclaws! Crazy, I thought at least one would be Slytherin. There is seriously too much hate in that world. Anyway, hope you're well and good luck with the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Aww, I'm glad you liked it so much.  Dumbledore wouldn't have let them keep yelling; it all just happened really fast and he was a bit taken off guard.  And yes, as you say, Harry's a bit of a puzzle -- not wanting to be seen as a little kid, but then wanting to be picked up.  He's pretty confused about the whole thing.   Finally, I didn't want to make the attackers Slytherins because I think the Snakes get a bad rap.  Plus that would be too easy.

    This is a wonderful chapter. I love how Severus is able to anticipate Harry's needs and accepts the role of protector. Dumbledore's seemingly well intentioned habit of giving second chances to everyone, such as he did for Sirius, looks very different when it is viewed from this perspective. Without demonizing the Headmaster, you create a strong basis for the bond to become even closer between Harry and Severus. Great job!

    Author's Response: I think Snape sees a little of himself in Harry, which is why he's not so bad at anticipating Harry's needs, like you say.   And yeah, Dumbledore has good intentions, but doesn't always see the other side.

    AAAWWWWW! THE THOUGHT OF SNAPE CARRYING HIM LIKE A SMALL CHILD IS--- I'M SPEECHLESS. IT IS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR BOTH A TEEN AND THE BAT OF THE DUNGEONS. I BET HIS SIGN MEANS DADDY.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, it's definitely a wee bit out of character.  But Harry isn't a teenager here.  He's 11, and just halfway through his first year.  I figure any OOCness can be explained away by the fact that they haven't had years of anger built up between them.

     

    And yes, maybe even 11 is too old to be picked up in that manner, but Harry is a *small* 11.  Plus, ultimately, though he doesn't realize he's doing it, he's looking for the moments he never had when he way younger.

    awww oh my that was almost too cute for words. I really love your Severus he's so protective of Harry, and he's finally catching on to what Harry needs. I'm glad that he is starting to stand up to Dumbledore, for what's happening how to Harry, and for himself in the past. The man may be wise, be he has no common sense. Looking forward to more Harry and Severus soon. Keep up the awesome work, and please update again soon. LES

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, I think Snape has definitely reached a turning point with Harry, although it won't be smooth sailing the whole way.   And yes, Dumbledore has good intentions, but rarely at the right time ;)

     

    Thanks for the review.
