I like how you mentioned Harry's attempt at neutralizing his expression and the fact that Snape noticed it. It seemed to connect the two, because Snape is notorious for the indifferent "mask" he wears. I can't decide which perspective I enjoy reading more...I love them both. lol. And I love that you shift this steadily.
Actually, I think you're doing a great job with Snape's subtle concern for Harry. I'm anxious to see what goes on in the next chapter. It doesn't seem like the abuse is severe, but I hope that Severus takes action anyhow.
I'm so glad you updated this so quickly. I'm house-sitting and have been sitting at he computer for a while, bored, basically refreshing the P&S site, hoping for an update (preferably one of your three stories) :) This was really a great chapter!
