    I hope if Harry starts dealing with what's happened through his journals or talking to Severus soon.

    I like Harry's journal. I like how you're using it. It doesn't overwhelm the story, because it's just short entries, but it really gives insight into how Harry is doing.

    Snape holds all the power......Will Harry ever have a good relationship with the rest of the cast, you know, Remus and all the rest? Is Harry truly absolutely broken? Will he ever hold some semblence of normal? Looking forward to more, and loving every second of it. Thanks

    Author's Response: It's a long road back, but the recovery is possible, so yes, some semblance of normal, but his life is forever altered, to be sure.  Thanks for the review!

    You write fast!! Aside from that, all previous comment apply to this chapter: you've done an excellent job with the characterizations and situations, I'm impressed with the grammar and spelling, especially considering how quickly you get things up, etc.

    Author's Response:

    I'm impressed with the grammar and spelling . . .

    Word (TM) is your friend!  And so is writing a lot.  And reading a lot.  I also belong to a professional writers group (for my orginal fiction) and do a lot of critiques, which helps, too.  Minding someone else's grammar can be good for learning it yourself.  :-)

    Skittles to you!

    Author's Response: Mmmmmmm, can they be the sour skittles?  I luff them.  :-)

    Ahhhh! I love this sooo much!! Although I'm kinda grossed out by Snape's teeth! Ew! Can't wait for the next chapter...

    Author's Response: Hehe, crooked teeth.  They may really be perfectly fine, though, and Harry's just being mean . . . you know, in case Snape reads his journal.  ;-)

    What? Making us wait 2 - possibly 3 - days? How dare you even consider such a thing! ;) Totally joking. You update more quickly than anyone else I've even known before - and two stories similtaneously at that!

    Interesting that Harry had a relapse - completely realistic. How long was he in that state for? I like the way you describe him becoming shut off like that with just a mere thought. It's so realistic, especially when you compare it to something such as a panic attack. A single thought can set it off and you just have to wait until the hyperventilating stops before you can move on. And it won't stop until it good and well feels like it (trust me, I know, lol). I assume it's just as terrifying for Harry.

    Good work!

    Author's Response: Hi Kiera, thanks for the review!  Harry was in a dissociative state for about 30 minutes.  It's not a hugely long time for these sorts of things, though considerable.  And of course, for Harry, it's an excruciatingly long time to be stuck in a horrible memory.

    "Talk to me, Harry," the other said, the one who's magic stood like a stalwart beside him.

    Really beautiful line.

    Harry was broken, Severus reminded himself. And he did not like to toy with broken things.

    Another wonderful line, someone else also mentioned I think.

    One thing that you do so well is to have Snape both very patient during Harry's flashbacks, panic attacks, etc. -- he apparently knows something of what Harry is going through from his own experience -- and yet impatient with what might seem more run-of-the-mill examples of Harry being what Snape would see as lazy or unthinking.

    You write this kind of recovery piece better than almost any I've read (and I've read a lot of them).

    Author's Response: Thank you, wynnleaf!  As I've mentioned, I've had experience with these kinds of post trauma disorders, and am just glad I seem to be portraying them adequately.  And Snape, well.  He's sort of an enigma all around, isn't he?  I'm glad that the dichotomy of his character is coming out in the writing as I intended.  Thanks again,  --rachel
