We, I guess it would be safe to day thay Harry has cracked. Not the real one like the Longbottoms but rather the kind I am. I am happy that Harry is at least venting and Severus seems to have grown accustomed to it. By far my favourite chapter. Good job!
That was great, I'm glad Severus had Harry talking and the offer to break his cup just topped everything off. I would do that all of the time if I cold do a repair spell.
"But finish the tea, first, if you would." Sorry that struck me as funny. The rest of the chapter was just sad. Not your writing of it, of course, but the happenings. So sad.

"Do you wish to break the cup, Harry?"
His fingers tightened on it, of their own accord. He could imagine, quite clearly, hurling the stupid piece of stupid pottery right at the wall and seeing it shatter into a million stupid, sodding, sharp, glorious pieces. It would be brilliant. "Yes, sir."
"Very well." Snape gave an almost inaudible sigh. "But finish the tea, first, if you would."
What an interesting therapy session. At least Snape has him talking - that's a good thing.
Really liked the closing line "Very well. But finish the tea first if you would."
Haha, Harry throwing a fit. That's awesome. Snape took it surprisingly well... well, he at least didn't have a complete cow at it. I guess you'd get used to it after a while, but I'd be one to yell right back. Interesting that Snape brought up that he could break the cup. Lol. You would think he'd forbid it, but I guess considering the circumstances it's understandable. I also wonder if Voldy is gone from his mind for good. Poor Harry doesn't ever seem to get a break from that @$$hole. Lol.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Yeah, Snape is trying to be understanding, but he realizes how purgative a bit of destruction can be. And he did yell . . . a bit. :-)
Wow, I love that Harry is angry in this! It's not at all surprising but I guess I'm so used to the Harry in these kinds of stories being upset and somewhat clingy towards Snape because of his role as rescuer and temporary guardian.
It's rather refreshing to see and made me enjoy this chapter greatly. You're story is a cut above the rest.
I'm also enjoying your fast updates. Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not all that fond of clingy!Harry, myself, and anger is his usual response to pretty much everything stressful, in general, so I figured to notch it up a bit. New chapter should be done tomorrow.
You are doing an excellent job of showing that recovery is not a fast process. I think my favorite bit is Snape telling him to at least drink his tea before he tosses his cup. lol I am happy with the frequent updates for both of your stories as well as the quality of writing.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, Harry's going to be dealing with this for a long time. The rest of his life, really, though I doubt I'll cover that much time in this fic. ;-)
I was so excited to see Remus. I love how he seemed so protective of Harry and how Albus was actually a bit scared of him. I think a protective Remus is so sweet.
That last bit with Snape asking Harry if he wanted to throw the cup was sad and funny at the same time. Poor Harry is just a mess, and Snape is right to let him play out his frustrations, even if it means he has to buy new dinnerware when it's all over.
Anyway, can't wait for the next update. Thanks.....
Author's Response: Thank you! Snape doesn't really have to buy dinnerware -- he can just repair the smashed bits, 'cause magic is kewl. :-) -- but it's the thought that counts!
