Title: Chapter 12: Hymn of The Sufferer 13 Oct 2009 8:06 am

    The poem was the perfect start for this chapter and it definitely is a sort of reverse echo of the way Severus is treated by the world in general. I think it's cool that Severus can read cuneiform and translate ancient Sumerian. The man is definitely a genius. Hmmm. I wonder if Dumbledore knows that Severus has written the defense books.

    As I said in my first review on this story, I really, really like this Severus. He's an incredibly talented, intelligent, and strong man who has an amazing amount of integrity with flaws that are neither overdone or ignored.

    Like Harry I am curious as to what the discussion between Severus, Remus and Dumbledore was about. I suppose I'll find out eventually as events play out.

    I do think Remus was being dense asking Harry if Severus was angry. But perhaps it can be blamed onteh approaching full moon.

    On to the next chapter. Sleep? Who needs sleep?

    That ancient Sumerian was quit sad...Where did you find it? I am very curiuos if there are others like it, because, like Harry said, I thought it sounded like something Snape would write too. HOW SAD! *sob* On a brighter note, I love how you have a lot of Remus and Severus enteraction because I LOVE them both so much! And Ron, but, he's taken by Herione...well, Remus is taken by Tonks too...so I'll just have to love Snape more, now wont I? LOL! Lov'n this storey validego!

    much love,

    Beth

    That hymn actually is ancient Sumerian.  No joke.  But I'm going to be taking a lot of liberties with it in this story.  I know, it is sad.  It will definitely come up again.  Remus will be in here a lot, so I'm glad you like interaction between them.  But just in case, we'll both have to love Snape.  lol  Thanks Beth!  Enjoy!

    I'm glad Snape and Harry got the big fight over. And I agree that Severus has always wanted respect and never got it. I'm also interested to see how Remus will figure in this story.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review!  That fight seemed HUGE to me when I was writing it but it was rather short.  I just couldn't see Snape continuing to be that angry after Harry's bombshell apology.

    Remus huh?  Well...keep reading!  There's a rough sketch of a plan for everyone.  But it might take a while to get there.  :)

    Thanks and enjoy!

    My goodness! Other than the fact that you need a Britpicker, this story is fabulous!

    Your portrayal of Snape is right on. I bet you were thinking of Snape's potions book while writing those comments in the book margins. It's so rare when Snape is caring yet in character, and you've managed it.

    You have to go on about the ancient Sumerian poem.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review!  I really appreciate it. 

    I'm relieved that Snape is in character.  Writing him as a pleasant, polite person just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. 

    As for the Sumerian poem...well you'll just have to wait and see. ;)

    I am very much enjoying this story. It has a nice flow to it. The growing relationship between Snape and Harry is nicely done.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review.  It's really hard to make these two get along.  Hehe

    Ah, the hazards of writing Snape!

    Another great chapter! I'm glad to see some of Snape's famous temper appearing in this chapter. That's also pretty neat that he wrote a book. Your story has been steadily improving in each chapter and I'm looking forward to reading about what happens next!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  I have this idea that Snape has an ego.  Don't know where I got that :)  I just thought that writing a book would be something he'd do, especially because he can't stand the incompetence of all the DADA teachers he's seen.

    Totally loved this chapter and the poem was great. Keep up the good work, cant wait to read more

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review. 

    The poem is from an ancient sumerian story (it's not mine)...kind of like the biblical story of Job.  I liked it too.  More on that later.

    Great job on the story so far! I really like to see how their relationship keeps changing. Some places could be more descriptive, but nothing is glaringly wrong. Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review!  I'm glad you like it.

    Do you mean like describing rooms and objects and setting the scene?  Can do!

    Keep making suggestions on my writing, I'm trying to use them all in later chapters.  I think it's really been helping me.  But I'll let y'all be the judge of that.
