    I loved the chapter. It was so fluffy and cute. I am now more impatient than ever about this story, the last bit was a little unexpected though I don't have any problems with it.

    As for baby Snape's name, is it going to be a girl or a boy? I guess I'll have to wait for the next chapter. *sighs*

    Author's Response: Ooh i'll share- it's a girl! I've just no idea what Poor Harry's going to think about it all... :-)

    This was a really cute chapter. Harry was really sweet and Snape's character is spot on. Can't wait to read the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Thanks!

    I absolutely loved it, of course. My favorite part was definitely Harry's babbling to Severus while he was unconscious. I truly, truly love your Harry. I also loved how Lily's frustrated relief led her to spank Harry. Sounds like something I would do. I was glad to see that Warrington and Flint finally got theirs, but I'm still hoping that Snape will deal with them himself.

    I loved your Charlie/Harry interaction. Definitely some hero worship going on on Harry's part. And the fact that Charlie would lie to Severus and risk punishment to protect Harry is so sweet.

    So, the baby's coming? I wonder if Severus will be a nervous wreck? Maybe Pomfrey will have to dose him with one of his own calming draughts. As for names, I've been wanting to have another baby just to name it either Liam or Aiden. I just love those names. For a girl, I would choose Grace, but I guess that's not a flower name, is it? Maybe Marigold and call her Mari? Or Amaryliss? Anyway, thanks for the update. I really enjoyed it. Take care...

    Author's Response: I love the name Grace, and Liam also. I have just discovered a name that I think might make readers smile a little. Though, I feeling all clever and original now- but I bet it's been done before :-( 

    I think Severus will have to take a fair few calming draughts! Poor man, well- not really, it is Lily going through all the pain! (for the time being LOL). 

    Writing Charlie was very fun, I'm thinking he may become a regular babysitter for Harry when his parents are busy with the baby- I just wish Fred and George were old enough in my time line to be at Hogwarts. I think that they are two school years above, so if Harry would be in Primary School year 3 (turning 8) the twins would be in year 5 and Percy would be Secondary year 7- aka Hogwarts first year. Ooh perhaps I'll include a little Percy! I'm sure he'd tell on Harry and spoil his fun! 

    I'm liking the name Marigold. Amaryliss is a good guess though. Quite close to what I think i'm going with....

    Thanks for the review!!!! much appreciated!!! :-)

    Wow you updated exactly when I was going into "Gambler's Son" withdrawal, I thought I was going to die ^_^ Loved this chap and its title. Baby names...hmmm... all I have to say is that it bugs me out of my mind when people give Snape babies really weird names like: Nevaeh Amethyst Regina Jewel Snape (aka a name that belongs on a Mary Sue) but I'm positive your not the kind of writer that would pin a name like that on a poor little fictional baby ^_^

    Author's Response: Oh dear, that is an awful name. No fear, I will be going for something more in keeping. I was just thinking about the names... it's funny how the Potters, Weasleys and well, quite a lot of characters from Harry's year group all have traditional/ 'normal' sounding names (muggleborns excluded). Though, it's not just Slytherins with the funky names- all of the teachers for example have bizarre names, and Sirius and Remus are not exactly normal. Hmm. 

    I wonder how JKR decided that. 

    I'm leaning towards a flower name (how original LOL) 

    I wonder if you would hate Asphodel? It's kind of ironic because of the first book, but then it also is Greek for Lily so almost appropriate... Can you see Snape naming his child after a potions ingredient? 
    Thanks for reviewing, you won't have long to wait for the next installment. :-)
Title: Chapter 5: No good deed goes unpunished! 06 Nov 2007 8:36 pm

    Hi, i just tried reviewing, but it wouldn't let me so i apologise now if it has actually let me and now you have two saying the exact same thing! Lol! Anyway i just wanted to say that i don't normally review on here, but after reading that nasty review some one wrote i thought i would! It's not true at all what they said! This story is fantastic and that review made ME angry and it's not my story! They had no right to put down your writing like that and i just wanted to make sure that it's not made you feel bad or nervous about posting because this is honestly one of the best stories i've read in a long time! It's so cute and realistic. You make the whole senario so believable! (Sorry i'm really bad at spelling!) Anyway it really is a fantastic story and any grammatical errors went unoticed by me, so it didn't interrupt the flow at all (if there even were any!) Becky :)

    Author's Response: Aww, you're really great! thank you for reviewing! I'm so happy that you like my story. I admit that i was very hurt by that review... It was very weird to have someone critique my grammar and spelling because I think that that's my strong point! I was worried that originality and things like that would be my main problem! I hope you continue reading because I have some very good ideas for my next chapters, and I love to hear everyones' opinions. My next chapter is dedicated to all you lovely reviewers... :-)

    I don't know how to change my response to a review as apart from uploading my own story and reading others I am not very familiar with this site.

    I just wanted to comment on a bad review I received.

    It's funny, I just noticed that the author of the review incorrectly spelled "while" as "wile" and "caused" as "cascaused" or something like that.

    Also, they said that I had put quotation marks before periods. Well, I presume a 'period' is a full stop. We only use the word period for an amount of time and errr... the obvious LOL in the UK. Well, however has a bone to pick over that should take a read of this:

    http://www.englishclub.com/esl-forums/viewtopic.php?t=27305

    Though I would like to know where I actually did put the quotation marks in the wrong place...

    The reviewer accused me of not being able to write, and that is a very hurtful thing to say. I would like to know an example of where I have spelled something wrong or used incorrect punctuation. If someone could point it out, I'll change it ASAP.

    Obviously words like 'honor' and 'favorite' I spell 'honour' and 'favourite' because I write with BRITISH English, as funnily enough I am British. I've NOTHING at all against people who write in American English- but it would be stupid for me, as a Brit, to do so.

    I love my reviewers, you all inspire me oodles and oodles. I'd like to thank you all for the advice and feedback, and I really do take it on board. However, I think that review was just plain vindictive. There's really no need for nastiness on such a wonderful site as this.

    Thank you for all the get well wishes! I'm feeling much better!

    :-)

    Author's Response: oops I wrote 'however has a bone to pick' instead of 'whoever'
