    Awesome chapter!

    Are you using British or American terms? Because I'm trying to picture Snape fighting in his "pants" and am not sure if you mean trousers or underwear! The visual is... alarming! Lol

    I felt so much for Severus in this chapter. And him going and blowing up dueling dummies is exactly what he would do after the funeral to try to release some of the grief and rage at Samuel's death.

    I understand Harry's worry about Severus but I have to say I'm very nervous about what is going to happen now.

    This was a very sensitive and emotive chapter. I also appreciated the comic break of Remus and Moody telling Harry about the prank wards, especially what he (didn't) do to Amanda Blackley.

    I kinda like this one, too. ;-) I like the way you are keeping up the theme of the wards and we get more insight into Snape's personality from the stories about this jinxes on the wards at this house. And Snape's need to blow off steam in battle practice is also a wonderful way of showing us what he is feeling.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!  I loved writing about those wards.  It seemed like the sort of thing he'd do.  Just short of hexing the aurors  ;^)

    Very, very interesting. Keep posting! I'm anxious to know what comes next. Well written.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you very much!  I promise not to abandon this fic.  It's almost all planned out, I just need to write most of it.  I just hope it stays interesting.

    I SINCERELY thank you for posting this story. It is one of the best characterizations of Severus that I have read. This is exactly how I want him to be - dangerous, focused, alone - a true warrior wizard.

    Also, the growing care/respect between Severus and Harry is well described.

    I found this story today (July 30) and read it in one go. I am pleased that you have taken the grammar and paragraph critique to heart. Your story is getting better and better, style-wise.

    I would really love to see Severus start teaching Harry what true defense is. The DA was all about children teaching children and that can never be the same as what an experienced wizard could teach.

    Love Severus' book!!! Would want a copy of it!! Have you thought about branching out??! :)

    Looking forward to the next installment.
    Sincerely,

    Wow!  I loved your review.  It was the perfect thing to come home to after work.  I absolutely agree with the sentiments on the DA.  This is a grown up war and deserves a grown up treatment.  More on that soon.  Yeah, I really loved that book of Severus' too. 

    Snape is such a bad ass and I wouldn't have him any other way.

    Thanks for the review and enjoy!

    This was a really good chapter, it's so sad about the little boy though and hopefully the family will be okay. It's so intresting that you had Severus write DADA books, it's just so different. Curious to see what's going to happen next, it would be cool if Sev would teach Harry about DADA, like how to duel or something. Keep up the good work and update soon. LES

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review!  Glad you liked it. 

    That was sad wasn't it?  And his poor brother!  I don't think I appreciated ihow sad it was until I reread the part where Snape mentions that Samuel followed Nathan around.  Then it hit me.  OMG, I just killed a child (literatively I mean...did I just make that word up?)

    I don't know if I've reviewed yet, but I am very much enjoying your story. I liked the way you had Harry notice the subtle signs of Snape being upset about the dead boy. We see JKR give those subtle signs sometimes in the HP series -- clinched hands on a chair, face turning pale, etc. Good IC characters.

    Author's Response: Thanks!  Being in character was one of the things that concerned me.  I'm always afraid that every character is just going to end up a charicature of an aspect of myself, so I'm really happy to hear that everyone's in character.

    Great writing style! It was a bit difficult to read in the first few chapters because of the bulky paragraphs, but I think you straightened that out nicely. Please update soon! I can't wait to see what happens!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much! 

    I posted the first nine chapters all at once so I didn't know how distracting the paragraph lengths could be until chapter 10 or so.  I'll be going back to fix those early chapters very soon. 

    I'm glad you like my style.  I tend to write only slightly better than I speak so it was a concern.  But I'm getting there.  Thanks.
