    That was an interesting passage that Snape found. Maybe he'll take the first step and move on from there since all Harry wants is to be around him. Great chapter and I hope you'll update again soon!

    Author's Response:

    It's been a long time since I tried to write anything similar to poetry.  I'm glad it came across as interesting.

    I think Harry also wants to get back to his family, but that's out of his control at the moment.  Another aspect of being thirteen-there are so many things out of his power to do, but he can at least grasp at what he sees as within his power to reach-being close to this Snape.

     Thank you for the review!

    For some reason, this story makes me really sad. I feel really bad for the AU Severus and Harry...both have lost their family - Severus has lost his son and poor Harry Snape: it's even worse for him - he has lost both his Dad and Mum and he's all alone...and headed for the DURSLEYS! Ack! The poor child isn't used to being treated badly. I hope Sev rescues him quickly!

    Author's Response: Hmm, can't really say much without spoiling future chapters.  But yes, both AU Harry and Severus are missing their families.

    Oh my goodness, my heart hurt when I read the part about the playfulness having vanished in Harry since the first detention. I'm actually surprised he got on the train to the Dursleys without throwing a fit...but then again, I suppose he's not leaving his actual dad... I'm guess I'm still waiting for some sort of emotional breakdown from this Harry. I'm a sucker for angst...lol.

    But I loved how Snape felt the bubblefruit in his pocket and offered it to Harry! And this kid's retort was actually sort of funny...I sure love a cheeky Harrry.

    I can't wait for the next chapter! I love how this alternates back and forth... I adore both plotlines, and I never have to wait too long to indulge in either one of them ;) Thanks for such a great story!

    Author's Response:  Poor Snape is rather socially stunted...he thinks bubblefruit is the cure-all for Harry's troubles.  Now he's been told otherwise.  :) 

    I don't see either Harry as a person who will cry easily...but don't worry, there's still plenty of angst. 

    Thank you for posting your thoughts!

    Such a difference for Harry Snape. He seems so beaten down already. I really hope that someone has warned him what Potter has to live with over the summer.

    Author's Response:

    He's had a bit of a reality check.  But he hasn't given up on Snape completely. 

    Thank you for the review!

    Congratulations on the Featured Story status, you really deserve it. You're writing a wonderful story here.

    "You can't be that different from him. You can't!"

    I love that line, it's perfection. And Severus's reactions were great.

    Happy writing on the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Well, I don't actually have featured story status, but I appreciate the vote of confidence from so many people.  The support I've gotten here has helped me grow as a writer.  :)

    Ah, that was a newly written line.  I'm happy to know that the editing is making the story more memorable.  Thank you for letting me know!

    Again, bittersweet.

    And so sad, the feeling of wanting something, yet fearing to reach out for it. Reading from this Snape's point of view is always rather depressing. I mean, the other Snape has it difficult as well, but this Snape is just so...hopeless. And to see him crush Harry's hope because he himself cannot bear having any is rather heart-breaking.

    There was a brief bit of humor when you had Snape ask if Dumbledore was infested by the wrackspurts. It's nice to know that Snape is still capable of a bit of humor, even when he feels his situation to be so dire.

    Author's Response:

    Well even if it is sad, you've articulated Snape's perspective quite well!  I like having characters make the wrong choice, as long as it makes sense from their perspective.  Can't really say more...it's too tempting to talk about future chapters. 

    In the original version of this chapter, Snape took a much harder line and Harry was more passive.  But I decided that Harry should take some of his frustrated hope and start making demands, and that should have an effect on Snape. 

    Thank you for your review!
