    Is the coupon used so that Harry will stay in Severus' quarters or so that Harry will get Minerva in 3 hours?

    I'm so sorry that I didn't check to see that this story was updated sooner! I love reading this story very much, it's very emotional and I can't get enough of it. PLEASE post again soon! I'd love it.

    P.S. DO you, or anyone you know, have an interest in Harry Potter PRG? Let me know please, i'd really appreciate it.

    Author's Response:

    Aw, thanks so much!  I'm still writing the next chapter.  It's rather slow going, actually.  But it is on it's way soon, I swear :)

    As for RPGs, I've never actually participated in one.  I'm intrigued though.  Are you setting up a role play?

    haha Snape saying that one day he might take a lemon drop, 'just to give the old man a thrill' probably made my life that much better.
    You really are a good writer.

    Author's Response: Thanks!  I actually liked that line a bit myself, if it's not too weird to say that about your own story, lol.

    Thanks for another awesome chapter. I especially like the part where Snape talks to Harry about what fathers/parents should do for their kids in front of Ron and Hermione. This will cement the idea that Snape is not leaving him in Harry's mind. Excellent work with Harry talking to Snape alone, and talking so freely too! Just like a typical eleven year old arguing with his daddy! Cute!

    Author's Response: Yeah, I thought Snape's comment about parents would be really useful for Harry to hear.  He doesn't actually have any real experience with how parents and kids are supposed to act, does he?  It's different to see it with friends' parennts than with your own.

    Oh wow, I didn't realise that this story was going to follow some of the Philosopher's Stone canon. Nice chapter, looking forward to more. Will Harry actually be able to obey?

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, there's a little bit of canon.  Not much, but I wanted to give it a nod.

    Thanks for the review!

    Okay, LOVED, LOVED when Severus contradicted Albus with the line "he's speaking to me." What a riot. I could just hear Alan Rickman saying it too...

    And yah! Harry gets to stay with him for the summer. (You're planning a sequel, right? Right?)

    Hope Ron and Hermione don't give Harry too hard a time for speaking to Severus and not them. And Severus gets the hug for this chapter, for telling Harry "this is what parents do."

    Will Harry honor his coupon? I'm dying to know!

    Author's Response:

    I had a lot of fun throwing that line in there.  I didn't know Severus was going to say it until it appeared on the page :)

    Lots of questions about a sequel, lol.  I'm flattered.  Yes, very likely, but I still have to work out the basic story line.    And as for your other questions, I believe they will be dealt with in the next chapter!

    I love this story so much. This chapter rocks! Snape and Harry interactions were perfect. I cannot wait for the next chapter. Thanx.

    Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!  I'm still working on the next chapter.

    Great chapter!!...NOOO!!! You can't almost be finished!!...although I realize there isn't much left to the story I seriously hope that you do a sequel, then!  Please!?

    I really did love this chapter, though!  It was great from start to end and all through the middle!!  I like how Harry's kinda distanced himself from Dumbledore, which made the conversation Snape and Dumbldore had even more awesome!  "On the contrary.  He talks to me."  That was a swift kick in the...well, you know.  Ouch!  But Go Sev at the same time!

    It was interesting how Harry was comfortable talking to Severus but not to his friends, but also really in character.  I just like that!  It was sad though, how Harry was able to justify his not talking with McGonagall's easy dismissal of the trio.  Harry really doesn't have a lot of adults he can rely on...well, I guess there is one...

    And a great big hug goes out to that adult...Severus!  I just loved him in this chapter!  It was great to see him crouching down to talk to Harry!  Perfect!  I also love this emotional!Snape...and it was great that Harry was able to make them break free a few times, and Lily too!!  *sigh*

    The ending was perfect, I do say!  I loved the double meaning of Harry's obedience coupon...and seriously hope that Harry does stay put and that Severus does return in less than three hours!!!

    I can't wait to get Harry alone with Ron and Hermione to talk about Snape being Harry's dad...poor Harry for having to deal with it.  I know it's not going to be pretty no matter what, but please don't let Ron be a total arse about it...if that's at all possible.  *sigh*  Ron.

    Well, I hope you enjoy your weekend!  Good luck with the next chapter!



    Author's Response:

    I am currently undecided about a sequel.  Or rather, I want to do one, but it's got to have a plot - I don't want to simply rewrite the second book, for example.

    Heh, yeah, Severus' little comment to Dumbledore was very specifically intended to get a reaction.

    I'm glad you liked the scene with Severus crouching down to talk to Harry.  For some reason I got it in my head that Severus (at least the way I write him) goes out of his way to put himself at Harry's height when he has something important to say.  So some kneeling and crouching in their Big Serious Converstions ;)

    As for whether Harry stays put, and Ron and Hermione's reactions, all that will be seen in the next chapter!
