    I really liked all the happening of this chapter, but really what I liked about it and actually all through the story is the way you write Severus. He is perfect. He's actually not really nice, so prickly and sorta brusque but he's sweet all the same. Confusing I know, but that's how he makes me feel. Warm and fuzzy and so very, very frightened. :o)

    Author's Response: Thanks for leaving me feedback for this chapter!  I love that you like my version of Snape...love that you like...okay, so it made sense in my head. lol.  Anyway, I really try not to write him as a naturally nice man.  Because he's not.  The sweetness is unintentional and grows as Severus interacts more with Harry.  He just doesn't necessarily realize it.  Yet.  But I love them, don't you?  lol.  Ah, now a new chapter of SfS awaits me.  I need to wind down after writing fuzzyyetfrightening!Severus.  ;)

    Marvelous chapter! You have a gift for expressing your characters’ thoughts and moods by their actions…particularly through small, subtle gestures or posture. This is the mark of a truly talented writer – and something few writers of fanfic ever accomplish or understand. You show how your characters are feeling, rather than just tell - rather than simply informing the reader (as the omnipotent author) as in “he felt embarrassed and awkward.”
    Examples:

    “What sort of things?” Harry asked softly, tucking his right hand into the crack between the cushion and the back of the sofa.
    ………………………..
    Harry wished he hadn’t said anything. Why did he always do that? He lifted his hand to his face and began chewing on his nails lustily.
    “Stop,” Snape ordered softly, tapping on Harry’s wrist with the back of his index finger.
    …………………………
    “The smacking I gave you was to remind you to think before you act,” Snape proceeded with the lecture, “not to prevent you from feeling emotion in general. There is a difference.”
    Harry thought about this for a few seconds.
    “Oh…” he mumbled, as he began fingering the clasp on his robes again. “It stung…”
    ………………………..

    Exquisite! I love your interactions between Severus and Harry – so much depth and sensitivity! Bravo! Keep up the good work! Anxiously awaiting more!

    Author's Response:

    *blushes* You sure know how to humble a person. lol. Thanks so much for your kind review. I know I said it before, but I'm so glad you're still reading and leaving feedback, because it means a lot coming from such a talented writer :) I suppose I just like to go for realism in my story. I think people connect with the characters when they seem more real...and by writing in the subtle movements of characters, I try to portray that.

    Severus and Harry interaction is so fun, yet challenging to write. As each chapter progresses, I find it harder and harder to finish a chapter, even though I always do. lol. I suppose I just want everything in the story to connect without leaving any obvious plotholes or questions.

    Again, thank you very much for the encouragement. I'm still smiling :)

    Yay UPDATE!!!!! ....ahem. I loved the chapter! lol when snape admitted he was wrong I had to like re-read the line 5 times to make sure. I mean Severus Snape admit hes wrong? *GASP* xD and I loved it.

    And I love how in your story harry acts so much like a ...KID. I mean when snape was holding his arm and he started cracking up...such a childish moment. And him in the hallway rubbing his nose and then "DISCREETLY" rubbing his bottom, I loved it xD

    P.S I use the verb "love" alot huh? xD

    Author's Response:

    Well, I suppose Snape didn't actually admit he was wrong, but he sure hinted at it. lol.  But you're right: quite the shocker. ;)  He definitely would not have admitted that at the beginning of this story, but eighteen chapters is....perhaps he's starting to get some sense in his thick head. lol.

    Harry does act like a kid.  He should...I mean, he's twelve.  I can't stand it when he's written much older and all-together than he really is.  And he's able to act like a kid, mainly because he's got someone taking care of the "bigger issues" that he should have to deal with. 

    And I love that you use the word LOVE. A lot. lol :)

    Thanks very much for the review!  I'm so glad you're still enjoying this.

    I am sad to know it is almost over. How about a sequil??? There are plenty more years to go... How about it??

    Author's Response: Well, I don't really have anything planned for a sequel.  It'd have to have a pretty good plot and not just ramble on and on about nothing. lol.  We'll see, though ;)  Thanks for reading!
