Excellent written story. Poor Harry. I could just imagine his reaction to going to the nurse.
:-) Excellent. 'Bout time Severus pulled his head out of his ass. Oh God, now I feel all sad for the poor owl. Dudley probably shot it with his air rifle, didn't he? I hope Severus avenges Harry AND the bird soon.
Author's Response: Yeah, I (and the Dursleys) tend to be kind of hard on owls. My apologies in advance . . . ;-)
I'm glad you chose this one to update next even though you'd only just posted the previous chapter. Harry's situation felt so tense in the previous chapter and it was good to see that Snape was more aware and concerned that Harry (and maybe even Snape) supposed.

I liked the perspective from Snape's point of view. Unfortunately, I almost skipped the chapter (and in fact had moved to another story) before remembering from your end note that the chapter would be the same scene from Snape's point of view. Some hint near the beginning of the chapter may have eliminated the need for the endnote and prevented the misunderstanding of thinking you had re-entered the previous chapter. Well written and insightful, I'm glad I returned to this chapter.
I want a creamsicle now. Well, no... a fudgcicle. But anything would do really. Lol.
I agree with both of you - I don't think it's too early, considering the amount of interaction the two have had. I do have to say, that I'm glad he's having Harry serve his detention in the infirmary as opposed to doing something else - since he clearly doesn't want to go (and who could blame him?), in Severus's eyes it would be the perfect punishment, and at the same time they'll discover more things about him.
Now I seriously cannot wait for the next few chapters. I'm ready to drop onto my knees and beg you to keep up with your frequent updating. I have been looking forward to what happens in this next chapter, since the whole speculation of his abuse came up.
Wonderful job :D
ooh... awesomeness on a page.
I think it's perfect timing for Snape to find out that Harry has troubles. I like how you make it necessary for the home visits, how the Dursley's ignore the owl, and how Poppy acts both in insisting on receiving permission and the fact that she needs permission. All very good details to add to the story.
I'm glad Snape noticed that something really is wrong with Harry, and is going to do something about it.
Excellent chapter. I love the changing POV in this story. A lot of stories have that, but often in a confusing way that makes the story hard to follow. It's always nice to see something done correctly. :-)

Wonderful chapter, interesting developments.
More than one way to skin a kneazle!
I love little things like that transferred over to the wizarding world, they always make me laugh.
I'm glad Severus is finding out now, I don't think it's too soon at all. Thanks for another great chapter!
