    *Gasp* Is Harry in trouble? Granted he shouldn't be playing with fire, but hopefully Snape won't be to upset. Also, I love Harry's attitude about talking, he's acting like such a kid. Its wonderful. Anyway, good chapter, please update soon.

    Author's Response:

    I don't think Snape is too impressed that Harry tried an Incendio.  There will certainly be some reprecussions -- that will be next chapter.

    I'm so glad you think that Harry's acting like a kid.  That was one of my frustrations with the books.  He always seemed too mature.  Well, besides Order of the Phoenix, anyway :)

    Hmm, do you do chibi snape fan art by any chance?  I think I may have a wallpaper from you that I love!  Anyway, thanks so much for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    It was actually one of the harder ones to write!

    I love your style of writing. It's so...effortless (if that makes sense), and your pacing of this story is perfect.

    Accidental magic, huh? I think Snape should take that as a sign that the poor boy is making himself sick with tension--although I think Snape already knows it. I doubt that Harry is in real trouble. However, I'm sure that he's thinking differently.

    These lines were particularly great:

    He watched as Snape read the words and then run his fingers through the long greasy locks. He closed his eyes and whispered into his palms “It’s true. We have all failed you.”

    **The use of the word "we" just made me want to attack Severus with a running hug... lol.

    I loved this chapter. Keep up the great writing :)

    Author's Response:

    Heh, I only *wish* it was effortless.  The number of times I've tried to figure out at least a basic timeline only to have the boys ignore my wishes is crazy.  Because then I have to rethink my outline, lol.  And this time I found some pretty clunky bits that I had to go back and edit after it was posted.

    But I'm glad it *seems* effortless.  That's a huge compliment!  You're very good at picking up what Harry's going through.  He was sick with (from?) tension.  It was hard to get that across though, because this chapter was from his POV, and an 11 year old boy isn't particularly self aware.

    Thankfully he has Severus to be aware for him ;)

    Oh, I got caught thinking "poor Harry" twice in this chapter. Once when he was explaining why he wasn't talking (and that statement caused a lump in my throat) and then at the very end as he's waiting for Snape to explode.

    Poor Harry...oops, that's three.

    I'm dying to know just what ARE his signs for Snape! Oh, and so Slytherin of Snape to get him to answer all those questions in class. That's the Severus we all know and love!

    Love, love, love this story.

    Author's Response: Haha.  I thought the same thing a few times :)  Glad you liked it, and thanks for the review!
