    Hmm maybe speding time alone with Snape won't make it such a punishment.

    Author's Response: Exactly!  Thank you for reading ;)

    I'm a terrible reader, not having reviewed until now, but I am very much enjoying the story. I love when Snape pauses at something Harry does or says that the potions master doesn't expect. Seems to be happening more and more, lol.

    The interaction between Harry and Ron felt very in character to me in the common room and then back in their room. Ron so deserved to be shoved. I'm glad they made up though.

    If you're taking requests, lots more Snape and Harry interaction. It's what we all love after all.

    Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Well, I'm happy that you've been reading the story!  I love that you've noticed the pauses.  I make them quite deliberate. 

    I was a bit worried about the whole argument thing between Ron and Harry, but I'm pleasantly surprised to find that many people actually thought it was in character and realistic. 

    The relationship I'm creating between Harry and Snape is a gradual one, but don't worry...there will be plenty of interaction :)

    Thank you so much for the review!  I really and truly appreciate it :)

    Great update as always! I really enjoyed the argument between Harry and Ron, it was so realistic, if that dosen't sound stupid. I also realized that Harry would think to wear his Dursley clothes to detention...but was plesently surprised to read what happened there. I forget how much Snape knows of Harry's home life, but was expecting more questions about the Dursleys here. Maybe next chapter especially since Snape is staying with Harry in the storage room. Hmmm...I really can't think of anything else but really good chapter! (I like it when they're long!) I can't wait for the next installment! Good luck writing and happy week to you too!

    Author's Response:

    I'm so glad you thought the argument was realistic, and no, of course it doesn't sound stupid!  Realism is what I'm always going for in this story :) 

    The lack of questions from Snape was intentional.  I suppose I've created a quiet, yet observant Snape.  The questions will fly soon, however. 

    Thank you so much for the great review and kind words of encouragement!

    As always, just as amusing and interesting as them all. And, if you post again soon, I'm sure I could find it in my heart to forgive you for the cliff-hanger ;)

    Keep up the great work!

    Thank you!  I'll have a new chapter up by the weekend.  I'm glad you find my story amusing, as it is quite emotionally exhausting at times--to write, at least :)

    This chapter certainly...damn. Well, I can't leave a very good review right now due to a splitting headache, but I'll write a better one later telling you how much I love your story. Promise!

    Author's Response: Sorry about your headache!  But I do appreciate you taking the time to read and review my story :)  Thank you!

    Brilliant, as usual. I love the fight between Harry and Ron - so realistically little boyish - and the predicament with Harry the Trouserless, Snape, and a jump saftey-pin. It was a wonderful chapter, and I'm already looking forwards to another update! You really capture the characters as they are in the books, without having to resort to fanon to make them suit your plot, which is wonderfully refreshing.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you thought the fight was realistic...Ron was beginning to drive me nuts, so I had to do something...lol.  (Funny how I characterize these kids and then shake my head at them...)  Thank you very much for such a wonderful review.  I definitely laughed outloud at "Harry the Trouserless"  :)

    Love the chapter as always. I laughed at the scene when Snape tried to fix Harry's clothes. Great chapter as always and please update soon.

    Author's Response:

    I really try to add humor to this story, as it's quite angsty.  The part with Snape shrinking Harry's clothes was meant to be sort of awkwardly funny--one of those moments where you're not sure whether to laugh or feel sympathy for whoever is suffering... lol. 

    Thank you so much for the review!

    P.S. I can't wait to read your Christmas story :)

    I don't know if I should feel sorrier for Snape or Harry LOL. Poor Harry having such an awkward moment, and poor Snape for having his patience so tested!
    As always this chapter was wonderful - and leaves me on tenterhooks for the next installment! :-)

    Author's Response: Yes, it was quite awkward, wasn't it?  lol.  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!  I'm glad you're enjoying my story :)

    I can't remember if I reviewed last time I read this. (I also don't remember the last few chapters, which makes me think I was reading it and my kids messed with my computer and I lost it.) I really enjoy this story. Snape's voice is incredibly well-done. And Harry's attitude is perfect.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm glad you like Harry's attitude.  I try not to make him too overly emotional, but let's face it...he's quite the angsty kid.  lol.  I appreciate the review :)

    I just started reading your story yesterday and found I couldn't get it off my mind!! I hate and love it when that happens! Great chapter, though! I always love it when Snape's cought on unfamiliar ground!

    Harry seems to be having a really natural progression of relationship with Snape and that makes me happy as well. Sometimes, the relationship just dosen't make sense but your's really does! Harry and Snape are so in character it's amazing! I really can't wait until the next chapter!

    (Reading other reviews) I also noticed that Snape dosen't use contractions and it really fits him well. You do create great scenes and dialogue to have Harry and Snape run amuck in and it's just perfect!! I really can't praise you enough and am really sorry I don't have anything more relevent to the story...but you're doing a great job and I can't wait until the next update! The final detention!! *ooh!* Although I feel a discussion about the Dursleys coming on..."Wear old clothing." Hmmm...how good IS Harry's home life in this fic? Because a little un-schedualed visit from Snape would certainly whip those relatives into shape for Harry this next summer!!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for such a wonderful review!  Knowing that you just found my story yesterday and read it all the way through is so, so awesome...  I'm glad you're enjoying it! 

    I know what you mean about the relationship between Snape and Harry not making sense... Since my fic is not an adoption fic right now, I had to give a valid reason for Snape wanting to get Harry under control.  After all, he's the one who is expected to chase Harry all over creation and keep him safe.  Seems to me he should be able to keep a firm hand on him...

    I didn't even think about a Snape-meets-Dursleys scene, but if you're interested, I could totally squeeze it in there...Reading all of these reviews actually gives me great ideas for this story at times. 

    As for the state of Harry's homelife, I've given the readers a glimpse of it in the first chapter, but it is very similar to what JKR created; although, I always believed that perhaps Vernon was a little bit more physical in his treatment of Harry than she let on (i.e.: "Harry knew from experience not to come within arms reach of his uncle") or whatever the exact saying is. 

    Thanks again for your words of encouragement.  It really means a lot.  Have a great week!
