    I like the story as a whole and I especially like the ending of this chapter. Finally Harry has written down the way that he feels and Snape has actually seen it. It will be interesting to read the next chapter. Also, what of the issue of Harry speaking?

    Author's Response: The issue of Harry not speaking will begin to resolve itself in the next chapter and finally come to a head in Chapter 23.  If all goes as planned.

    This was beautiful. Your style of writing is so unique. For some reason, it's really soothing to read new chapters of your story. Can't explain it, really, but I promise that's a compliment :)

    I love how this story has progressed. I also appreciate the fact that you write Harry as an eleven year old who needs comfort and reassurance. He's young, and sometimes, I think we forget how normal it is for eleven year olds to be extremely upset one moment and happy and bouncy the next. In that aspect, you write Harry very accurately.

    Also, you seem to really have a good grasp on Ron's character, which, I think, is difficult to do (Speaking from experience...lol).

    Bottom line: your Harry is the sweetest thing ever, and I adore this story :) Write soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much :)  I definitely take soothing as a compliment!

    As for how I write Harry, although it was many, many years ago now, I remember being his age and having the same issues he's having, so that helps.  Plus I have an 11 year old niece and nephew who I tend to watch closely, to see how they act, the things they say, etc.

    As for Ron, I have struggled to keep him in-character but still likeable.  Based on canon, Ron definitely would struggle with the relationship I've built between Snape and Harry.  But he's also Harry's best friend for a reason, and I think he'd be able to understand eventually (with a little help from Arthur!).

    Thanks for the review!

    Oh, that last line. I hope that Harry gets his wish (and that Snape doesn't try and pull away because of it). I love this story. It is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!!!

    Author's Response:

    Heh, yeah I tend to save the kickers for the last line.  Always leave people wanting more, right?  We'll get to see Severus' reaction in the next chapter.

    Thanks for your kind review!

    Well, you DID make me cry (but I'm infamous for that). That's okay, I LOVE to cry in stories!

    I was missing your story updates so was happy to get to read one today.

    It was good assignment for Harry - try to analyze why he'd been so extreme in his emotional responses to things. I don't think Severus was ready for that parchment, though. Whatever will he do with this information? It was a lovely, tearjerker of a chapter.

    Author's Response:

    I seem to be making everyone cry, lol.  Thanks for your patience in waiting for an update.  I was missing my story too ;)

    As for Severus, we'll cover his reaction in Chapter 22.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  The next chapter should be up by the end of the weekend :)

    That just made me go "Awwww!" I'm so glad my roommate wasn't here to hear it. XD I wanna cry now.

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad it made you go aww, I was worried it might be a wee bit too much.  But then again, it was destined to be in there, as that scene with Snape finding the drawing was one of the very early scenes I wrote (almost a year ago now!)

    I almost want to cry. That end was so sweet. I don't know what to say. Its an awesome chapter. Please update soon.

    I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years!

    Author's Response:

    I had wonderful holidays, thank you!  Heh, I seem to always make people cry, and often when I'm totally not meaning or trying to.  Interesting.

    Next update should be very soon.  This weekend for sure.  It's been written FOREVER, heh.

    Thanks so much for your review :)

    awww what an ending to this chapter. I'm really looking forward to the next one very curious to see what happens next. Keep up the great work and please update again soon. LES

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, I thought that was a good place to cut the action.  The next chapter has been written for months and months.  So it'll be up within a day or too!

    Thanks for reviewing!
