    That was a great chapter full of wonderful Snape/Harry moments. I was thinking about your story and wondering, just before the alert hit my email, if you were going to write about the defense lesson or just move on. :) I'm glad you didn't skip. You have no idea the huge smile the alert message got when I saw it was your story.

    I was reading anxiously at the beginning wondering why Snape was being so cautious as they walked to the second floor. I thought Harry was about to get a real life practical demonstration on defense and then he did, sort of, but not the way I thought. I thought for sure they were going to be attacked at any moment. Now, was the suspense deliberate or is it my perception, since I should have been in bed before the alert was even sent just as I should be in bed now?

    I like the small touches and pets Snape is giving Harry. A gentle hand on Harry's shoulder. Snape's hand on his back. Does he even realize he's doing it? My guess would be no, but my hope is yes.

    Thank you again for the wonderful update and for sharing the story with us. Have a Happy New Year!!!

    Aren't the Snape and Harry moments just the greatest?  I shake my fist at J.K. for lacking that interaction in the books, but then again, she's brilliant, so I go right back to admiring her..lol. 

    I was definitely not going to skip over the Defense lesson, as it was important in the story, I think.  I had the biggest smile on my face while reading your review!  As for Snape and his kindness toward Harry, he may not realize it sometimes, but I think it's impossible to be completely unconsious while giving an encouraging squeeze to the shoulder or even complimenting on Harry's successes ;)

    Thanks again for the encouragement.  It's amazing.  Have a great New Year!

    *squeel* I love this story more with every chapter.

    You are an amazing writer.

    I really want to know how Harry and Snape are going to find the baskilis (I'm sure I spelled that wrong but I don't feel like looking it up right now). Will Harry still end up fighting it on his own?

    Please update soon. I love your story!

    Author's Response:

    Well, I think it's basilisk, but no worries...when I first began writing that part into the story, I definitely had to consult the CoS text...lol.  But thanks so much for reading and reviewing!  I'm so glad that you're liking the story so much.  I'll try and update this one as soon as possible!

    This story keeps getting better and better. Snape is perfectly Snapey and yet his attention and kindness to Harry is not out of character in the least. I look forward to seeing what happens next. The business with the sound amplification spell is marvelously done.

    Well done!

    Thank you!  That's really encouraging to hear that the story is getting better...as opposed to the story sucking a little more each time...lol.  I'm really trying hard to balance the sternness and kindness in Snape's character without ruining it completely.  It's hard work sometimes! 

    Really glad you liked the spell!  That was something I'd been thinking about for quite awhile and just had to fool around with the latin and such to get the spell right :)  Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
