Well, the correct thing to say is probably something like, "No doubt, RL is keeping you occupied quite thoroughly. Neverthless, I hope you can post soon, b/c I enjoy the story and am anxious to see what happens next..." But a more realistic comment would be something in the nature of, "IT'S BEEN A MONTH...I'm dying here... please (gasp) ... need update ..." ;-)

I really like your lupin, and the recurring Headlines. Harry seems brave, but still a teenager. Good job.
Wow! I love, love this! I love the tenseness and awkwardness, and the drama. Snape is done fantastically, and I love your Harry. And now he's Snape's son. I look forward to more awkwardness! hopefully soon?
Thanks for the update! it was great!

Yea! Thanks for the update. The characterizations are excellent, and your writing style is engaging. Nice job. I do, however, have one question (and if I missed this point in your story, I apologize)... if Harry took polyjuice, wouldn't it transform him into an exact replica of Snape's current form? Or, was the formula prepared using something from when Severus was younger, such as a preserved hair or something?
Author's Response: There's going to be more on that, and the potion will be pretty important to the story in the next few chapters. The things Harry is told are not necessarily the whole truth. Right now all we know is that Harry drank something that he was told is polyjuice, and instantly transformed into someone else (someone who looks the way Harry thinks Snape's son would look). Harry, of course, has been told that Snape has a son, and therefore thinks he has been turned into a replica of Snape's son. For now he has no reason to be suspicious of the potion. I hope that sort of answers your question. :-)
This is such an interesting story. I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing it with us!

I read a lot. This angle is very exciting because I haven't seen it on any site I visit. Bravo! Personally, I wasn't sure why Harry hasn't comitted suicide before now. No one considers Harry's home life before Hogwarts and how the mixed and even wrong messages influences Harry and authority figures. Even though it's his life, no one explains why things are going on so that he can react correctly. And Lupin has spent to much time with Snape that he is being persuaded to see things how Snape wants him to. A very tight, psychologibal drama that will be full of angst. Harry's life has gone from bad to worse, especially since he will no longer have even his friends to bolster his sense of self or cheer him up. I bet the sorting hat will put him into Slytherin this time?
Author's Response: Yes, Harry is going to have a hard time working out his authority figure / father figure issues in the future. Most people just settle for manipulating him rather than try to explain things in a way that will let him make good choices. It's not healthy at all. Snape is definitely determined to have Harry in Slytherin, or at least he has already said that Harry won't be in Gryffindor.

Very good, compelling and well-written, particularly as regards characterization, especially of Snape. Though this incarnation of Lupin is rather darker than I'm accustomed to, it's persuasive.
Particularly in the early chapters, you have excellent control of mood and tone; it's almost painful to read, the sense of isolation and abandonment and guilt and unease surrounding Harry is palpable.
I look forward to seeing the story continue.
Sincerely,
Annette
Author's Response: Thank you. :-) I'm glad you like Snape and find my Lupin at least somewhat believable, considering that he's different from his usual uber-patient limp-doormat self.

This is a great story. You said you wanted to keep Snape IC and you have done so. I am looking forward to the next installment.
Nice idea having Harry use the improved formula of Polyjuice to be Snape's son. That is always a good way to hide Harry since everyone knows they hate each other. Good chapter and hopefully you can update again soon!
Author's Response: Yeah, it seems like Harry's always safest when pretending to like (and be liked by) Snape. I guess no one but us fanfic authors/readers can believe it!
