    Dang, I take a quick break off the computer for a couple days, come to find out that you updated! I was completely oblivious until I checked my updates >

    Author's Response:

    Taking a break from the computer?  What is this heresy??  ;)

    Oh, yay! Another chapter by Malora! I was waiting with bated breath, it did seem like this one took awhile. (Of course, that's because I looked at when you started posting and realized that you update *approximately* once a week, so...)

    Mrs. Weasley was hilarious. I adored how the twins believe she will knit Severus a sweater; and I hope she does take the pair under her wing. Severus's empty fridge was hilarious (I *like* beans on toast, lol!)

    The mental picture of the pair of them at the table, Severus in his half-destroyed duds, while the Weasleys tromped in - poor, but well-cared-for - was so embarrassing that I flushed on their behalf.

    I am really anticipating the next one. After that breakdown in the flower patch, I have to imagine things'll be a little awkward between Harry and Snape as Harry realizes what a berk he's been... or does he still have doubts about Snape?

    Enjoying it as always,

    Author's Response:

    Yes, I fondly remember the times when I was updating every few days.  Sigh.  Try to see the delay as a good sign.  Before, I was just checking over my rough draft for typos because the draft seemed "perfect" as is.  Now, my writing has improved enough that I can look at my original rough draft and see all kinds of problems that need fixing.  So...long delays between updates mean...my chapters will be even better!  Right?  (Work with me, here.)

    Severus's fridge was in no way based on my own.  I have bread *and* ketchup, thank you very much! 

    Thank you for reviewing!  (And sorry I took so long replying to you on LJ…better late than never!)

    Sorry, i just have to say that the 'beans on toast gate' was brilliant, and to defend all beans on toast loving people. But really you made me laugh for about ten minutes with that little scene it was just brilliant, he was like a sulking child sitting there twiddling his buttons moaning whilst being told off, (I can just imagine the faces he was pulling lol) and then telling the mother hen to take her henning else where. lol.
    Can't wait for another chapter and more banter.
    Cheers.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  Dialogue is one of my favorite things to write.  :)  I enjoy having words zing back and forth between characters. 

    I love your description of that scene; it's hilarious. :D  Thanks for reviewing!

    Like the chapter before this one had the closeness between Parallel Severus and Known Harry, I look forward to whenever Known Severus and Parallel Harry finally really connect.

    Author's Response:

    They were bound to take a little longer.  (Known World) Severus has had time to build more walls than (Known World) Harry.

    I love the little slip of the tongue, 'i prefer a household of two thank you very much' lol, hmm... intriguing, i smell potential, LOL. I can't wait to get back to the other dimension Harry(1) and see what's transpiring. Its nice to see Harry(2) here talk about his father and get a glimpse of what living with a amnesiac mother and well quite frankly controlling - in a good way!!!- father does to a person, he seems just as messed up (not as much as Harry 1 is)in his own little way. Please update soon, you've left on a tantalisingly high note.
    Wonderful as usual.
    :)

    Author's Response:

    And Harry's sharp ears picking up on that one word, ha ha. 

    Yes, I think this Harry has had a better family life than his counterpart…but certainly not  a perfect life.  The love between father and son has dampened the conflict between these two different personalities, but it's still there.  And the stresses of Voldemort and his mother…Harry is probably due for a teenage rebellion in a few years.  ;)

    Thank you for reviewing!

    What a beautiful conversation between Harry and Ron. :)

    Author's Response: Thank you!  It was a struggle for me to find the right words.

    Wonderful chapter!! I was almost rolling on the floor reading of Molly's invasion and poor Severus' attempts to withstand her. Sev wearing an old green shirt was hilarious as was Harry's attempt to comfort him with the "put up a good fight" comment.

    The Ron/Harry bonding moments were great and I loved Harry's wisdom about Severus' bludgers.

    Great writing. The more I read of your story, the more I am impressed and I'm not usually much for alternate universe themes. But this is wonderful!

    Author's Response: I don't think Harry could have said anything in that moment that would have comforted Severus.  It takes a while for the ego to recover after a battle with Molly Weasley.  :D

    I know what you mean about not being much for certain stories.  Sometimes I'll take a chance on a story I wouldn't normally read, and be pleasantly surprised.  It's good to try new things.  :)

    Whoo!! Fantastic chapter! I love Molly. I was so amused with her in this chapter! LOL! Delightful. And lol, when Harry told Snape he had put up a good fight! LOL! Fantastic chapter! I loved it.

    The only thing is what Harry and Ron stop after their game and sprawl outside on the grass. Yet, you left something about a couch in: "Ask...?" said Ron. Then he groaned, sinking back into the couch cushions. "Snape. He'll never let you go."

    Author's Response:

    Whoops! As you may have guessed, that scene originally took place in a different setting. :) I've fixed that.

    It's funny to think about Severus surrendering his clothes to Molly. :D Thanks for the review!

    This chapter was absolute magic. I am enjoying your story so much. Beautifully written. "I like beans on toast" - wonderful. You've got a completely human, canon character of Snape and that's terribly difficult to accomplish. Well done.

    Author's Response: Beans on toast seems like definite bachelor chow.  :)  Thanks for the kudos!  I think Snape is second only to the Malfoys in the list of characters who are difficult to keep in canon and keep human.  I mostly draw on my own repressed, bitter nature.  ;)
