I have vowed to never be drinking or eating while reading tour fanfiction. I literally almost damaged my mobile when I spewed all my milk on it when I read the line that Dumbledore poisoned Snape, I knew Dumbledore was a manipulator but he wasn't evil. I breathed again when I realized someone was controlling him. I screamed, literally and my mother screamed, I screamed in indignation about the story, in fear of the health of my mobile and in pain when the hit milk burned my hand. My mother screamed when she saw me scream, God, you are going to be the death of me.

I've been enjoying this story, zipping along in it. But I have to tell you that I don't know at this point if I can make myself finish it. It's just too much unremitting pain and helplessness for Harry, and I feel worn out by it. Screaming, pain, blood, more screaming... The prospect of continuing is not appealing. And now, from this chapter or the last, you've stacked the deck too much against him. I keep using the phrase "too much," and I wonder if you paced out the pain and horror enough, giving the reader enough respite in between. I'll see if I can force myself to continue, or if I give in to "I don't need this" feelings re my entertainment and relaxation.
This chapter had the most amazing, ominous beginning. I especially loved that you mentioned that 'Dumbledore' poisoned Severus so casually. And it killed me that Harry was so close to realizing the truth at the end because'Dumbledore's' words didn't line up but then he went through the floo anyways.! Will Harry get himself out of this one? Because I keep thinking Severus will save him but I can't decide how yet. I hope Harry doesn't become too scarred by this encounter.
Wow, that was intense! I remember when I read the first line of this chapter I about ran screaming from the room, throwing my laptop against the wall. But alas, I continued and I'm glad I did! Really great chapter!
I hope that someone comes to save Harry before Malfoy or Voldermort/Dumbledore does something horrible to him! He truly has been through a lot in your story and although he has Severus, I don't think he'd be able to take the same treatment from them as he did before.
Keep writing!! I love your cliffies! (Especially if it means that another chapter is on the way!)
Oh my god! I hate this situation! I guess I'm glad that it's not Albus doing these things, but I hate to think how Voldemort has tricked Harry and Severus, and Remus too. It is Voldemort isn't it, who has possessed Albus? I wasn't sure if I got that quite right.
I'm desperate to find out what happens next, Severus needs to be woken and go save Harry, please!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HARRY DONT DO IT HE IS POSSESSED!
oh goodness me, i think i'm gogint o have a heart attack! he can't do this
Oh, wow, this is a tough chapter! Great, but tough. I knew something was going on with Dumbledore--he was just so unlike himself. I sure hope that he or someone else can get Voldemort out of his mind. I can't imagine what Harry is feeling at the close of this chapter.
And as for Harry---please, please let Severus and Remus or somebody come to help him before Voldemort and Malfoy do anything else to him! That poor kid has been through so much agony already, he just doesn't need anymore. I can hardly bear it for him.
And please, please, don't leave us in suspense for long!
I KNEW IT!
Okay, I didn't. But I knew something was wrong with Dumbledore last chapter. There was no way he'd make Harry face trial for anything - even if it wasn't in his power to change that, he'd raise hell at least... and yet he seemed so calm and non-chalant about it. I'm so curious to find out how Voldemort managed to get into his mind like that. It must've been when he was exceptionally weak, huh? Hmmm...
*Drops to knees* Please let Severus be okay. For Harry. I know he'll need to go through some stuff, or whatever, but it would be devistating - in all aspects - if he were permanently damaged. I can't imagine you doing that to us, so I'm not so worried, but you can't blame a girl for worrying a little.
Fantastic job. Can't wait for more :D
I'm glad to learn that it's not Dumbledore being evil that's the problem, but instead Dumbledore being possessed (or sort of). Manipulative!Dumbledore is very canon. Evil!Dumbledore basically ruins a story for me, it's so non-canon.
I do hope you can update this story quickly. Any possibilities that you could update this one before the other ones? Much as I love your other stories, this particular cliffhanger is a tough one to deal with.

I don't like your story anymore. Please fix Harry's life. I don't think I could stand any more happening to Harry.
