    What an absolutely excellent lesson!

    Harry needed to consciously know what his reaction to the spell was and Severus as his instructor needed to know what Harry's reactions were so any problems could be fixed.

    Though I think the way the Avada Kadavra spell is talked about in the books, the general population has a subconscious belief that nothing can be done if that spell is cast at you. And even though he survived having the spell cast at him as an infant, I think Harry picked up that subconscious belief. Even Cedric made no attempt to dodge Pettigrew's curse even given the warning of Voldemort's "Kill the Spare" in HPGOF.

    I think my favourite line was when Severus told Harry that now that they knew that Harry always froze when hearing the spell cast that he could fix the problem. That yes, it is a problem and a serious one but that he can and will train Harry so it won't be a problem any longer.

    Also, I liked the bit in the kitchens between Winky and Severus. I think that as much as Harry has picked up a lot of beliefs and that in his time since he entered the wizarding world he just can't seem to understand that Dobby is not an example of a psychologically healthy House Elf, and that by treating all the elves the way Dobby wants to be treated he's offending them. On the other hand, Severus knows their culture and treats Winky properly and appropriately --using House Elf standards-- so she treats him like royalty.

    Goodness instead of a review this is turning into a discussion of the social aspects of the wizarding world! Sorry! It's just that you write so well in the Potter-verse that it points these things out to me.

    Bravissimi on a wonderful chapter.

    Dear validego,
    About chapter 15, since at this time, that is the chapter I just finnished reading: Naw, I'm not mad about the last chapter, I knew Snape wouldn't risk Harry's life. I realy thought the Snape and Winky interaction was quit cute, it made me think of this picture I saved by kinokochan on DeviantArt, heres the link adress: http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs6/i/2005/092/c/c/Clinging_to_Snape_by_kinokochan.jpg I am looking forward to how Winky has become a Snape worshiper. HOW CUTE! Hope you love kinokochan's picture as much as I did...of course...the only way you could, would be if you loved Snape is much as I do too...and I just don't know if you love him as much as I do....LOL! Still lov'n this storey!

    much love,

    Beth

    Author's Response: OMG!  That picture was freaking hilarious!  I loved it.  And absolutely, when you post a story, let me know so I can go find it.  When I’m writing I don’t always pay attention to new story updates, but I’ll go read and review what you get up.  As far as the who loves Snape issue more…oh no you didn’t!  lol  Snape’s mine - but if you wanna borrow him…lol.  I’m waiting for the hate mail to pour in now.  hehe  Anyway, glad you love the story.  I love your reviews.  Thanks Beth!  Enjoy!

    Nice chapter...as usual. I sorta feel bad I only just started reading this and therefore these comments might not mean as much, I also am sorry my reviews aren't creative haha.

    Author's Response:

    Hi!  I enjoy your reviews and they do mean something to me, even if its just feedback.  They don’t have to be creative.  I just want to know if you liked it or if not, what you didn’t like.  Most of the plot is planned out but how I write it and the in between scenes that bring us to the plot, those still need to be written and feedback gives me a good idea of what people like in a story.  Let me know.  And thanks for the review!

    Enjoy!

    Glad to know Harry made it out alive! Although I figured he would anyways. Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review!  You saw right through my cliff hanger!  :)  You even guessed it correctly.  But I enjoyed the reviews for it.  'Cruel and twisted' was my favorite!  That was you yes?  Made me laugh for an hour.  Thanks!
