I love hearing what Harry is really thinking through his journal--which, I guess, is the point. I like that Severus is trying to be civil to Ron and Hermione and it seems like they just won't have it.
Cats are quite the task masters, aren't they? I had one that was very much a vocalist critique, if you sang just SLIGHTLY off key she hushed you up with a paw, and my other cat would scowl at me if I interupted reading to him by laughing at the story...
You DO have a way with a last line! I LOVE your humor!
You know, as much as I love your story - and I most certainly do - I think I am most entertained by your very amusing author's notes. Great job.

Love your writing style and the story line!
Another awesome chapter, though I didn't realize you updated until now. Oops! And you wrote Ron wonderfully--he's so in character that I still want to punch his lights out like I do when I read the actual books, lol.
And for a possible title? How about Face the Light? He's been walking the shadows for so long that being 'normal' again is going to take some time to get used to, like walking into the sun after being in a dark room. He has to learn to face the light and all of goods and bads (good: vitamin C! Bad: skin cancer!) to recover.
Or something. XD
Another great chapter! I love Harry and Severus talking at the beginning, and how Severus is planning on taking care of Harry from now on.
I'm really curious to see what Severus has in mind to make school starting easier on Harry, because Harry doesn't seem as if he is really ready for normal classes--private tutoring with a few friends, giving Harry's friends permission to hex anyone who bothers him into oblivion? Probably not the last, although that would be kind of fun to see. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and find out.
I can't wait to read the rest of this discussion between Severus and Ron and Hermione. I know lots of people are hard on Ron--it seems like Ron is usually the one who doesn't take it well when Harry and Severus start to get along. But I think Ron is a really great, loyal friend. He has his own reasons to dislike Severus, but the main problem Ron has is that Severus was cruel and unfair to Harry in the past, and Ron just doesn't trust him yet, that Severus' feelings have changed and he wants to help Harry now. We should all be so lucky as to have a friend who cares for us as much as Ron does for Harry.
I'm looking forward to the rest of this story and of course, the sequel. I love your other stories, too, but I think this one is my favorite!
I never received my update notice for this chapter, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it HAD been updated this morning... even if it means being late for work, haha.
So, it finally happened. It's like a bit of relief, isn't it? There's probably a little bit of added nastiness to come, but that's to be expected, at least somewhat, from Ron. Hermione, we'll have to see about. She can go either way, but she's too levelheaded to be unwilling to at least try and accept the idea. I love that Severus is trying so hard to control his temper with them. It's perfect.
That didn't come out right...oops!
Poor Severus, now he has to deal with more awkward questions...but I have a feeling that Harry's going to make an appearance at the most oportune time.
Really great chapter, I didn't recieve a notice that it was updated, which is saddening...but I read it and it was amazing! I can't wait to see what happens with those headstrong Gryffindors we all know and love.
I get completely undone by silly little things like Severus saying that Harry "is in *his* room" and "in *our* home". It's probably extremely sentimental but nevertheless, I can't get enough.
Aah Ron, he is an interesting character. It's nice here that his motives are very clearly aimed at protecting Harry, and he obviously still sees Severus as a threat. I can't wait to see Hermione's response; a dropped tea cup eh...
Haha made me think of earlier chapters where Harry was quite interested in hurling tea cups at the walls and Severus asking him to first drink his tea if he must react that way.
So I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Good luck with it!
