    I love this story. Just thought I'd leave a review at this chapter. So far it is my favorite. Overall this story is well written, British English and all.

    I was just wondering if you were going to update anytime soon. This is such a good fic and I'd hate for it to become abandoned.

    I really love this story. It just makes me grin every time I read a new chapter. :)

    I especially liked the line: "Harry wondered if that would be an acceptable argument to use to weasel his way out of a spanking…"

    It was hilarious. Thanks for writing.

    Author's Response: Harry's definitely an intelligent boy- just sometimes he doesn't seem to have a clue LOL! Thanks for reviewing

    I love the scenes with Snape comforting Harry. It's such a great father-son relationship. I loved that last scene. Harry's such a cheeky little thing. What does he get to help Hagrid with? I can't wait for the next chapter. I really love this story.

    Author's Response: I'm wondering about Hagrid- I'm seeing a scene were Snape threatens Hagrid if he lets Harry get into danger... But I'm planning something a little bit mysterious! Thanks for reviewing

    You did a nice job with this chapter! I know what you mean about being concerned about writing a scene that contains corporal punishment...I felt the same way; but I think you did it really well. Severus was very firm but not overly harsh. I loved how Snape had Harry's corner time already figured out, as well as the whacks with the slipper. It shows that Severus cares enough to justly punish him without overdoing it, although I'm sure Harry thinks differently...lol.

    I really enjoyed the part with Albus at the end...you write him really well. I'm also glad that you included bits about Tobias--it reminded me of Uncle Vernon somewhat...

    Again, very good chapter! Thanks for updating so quickly :)

    Author's Response:

    It was quite hard to write, I hadn't written one before and was a bit nervous about seeming too harsh or something like that, so thanks for putting my mind at rest! 

    I'm having a bit of writer's block at the moment :-(

    Thanks for reviewing :-)

    Ooooh! It was so cute and for someone who hadn't done the spanking scene before you pulled it off brilliantly. I loved the chapter, way to go!!!

    Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

    Thanks so much for the quick update. It definitely made my day.

    I just knew Harry's little adventure was going to be happening during a potions class and that Snape wasn't going to be too happy. At least Snape didn't have to leave his class to help Harry. That would have been so much worse.

    I'm sure that Snape's memories from his own childhood punishments are never too far from his mind. I love the fact that he tries so hard to do right by Harry, so evident in his internal monologue. He really is a good man in your story.

    I like the fact that Snape attempts to drive into Harry's brain the fact that there are consequences to his actions. And to point out that those consequences don't just affect Harry, but those who love him as well. I also like (love) how secretly Snape is proud of his little mischievous Gryffindor. He would definitely rather have a boy with a bit of spirit. Can't wait to see how Dell turns out. I'm thinking Slytherin all the way.

    Anyway, I love Snape's methodical discipline. Harry knows what to expect from his dad and Snape follows through. I can imagine this scene playing out time and again throughout Harry's life. Poor boy is definitely the sort that can't stay out of trouble for too long. Especially once Snape finds out that his slippers are missing. LOL.

    Sorry for the long review, but I truly love your story. Have a great weekend and hope to hear from you soon.

    Author's Response:

    Ooh I love long reviews! 

    I really enjoy writing Snape's thoughts - as it's something that the books never explored so I feel like I have a bit more artistic license LOL.

    I'm thinking Dell would be Slytherin.... or maybe a Ravenclaw if she inherits her parent's intelligence???

    Thanks for reviewing  :-)
