    I like the way you depicted everyone's emotional maelstroms. Too true: when everyone's feelings are in an uproar, things can be hard to settle down. Nicely done.
    My favorite line was by Harry: "Sorry about Pig...I know he will annoy the crap out of you." Harry does know his father to a certain degree, after all.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for reading and reviewing. Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, Harry is very quickly getting to know Sev..a combination of his previous dealings with the man, combined with the reluctant caring that Sev showed while Harry was sick and the glimpses of worry (that more often than not express themselves as anger) that he sees Severus displaying.

    Of course, he wants to get to know his father..he craves this relationship. And Sev is beginning to realise that here is something being handed to him that he didn't even realise he wanted.

    It is a shame that Snape and Harry are prone to misunderstandings but it does add spice to the story. Like how their relationship is evolving and am looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for this review Lunaz. Glad you're enjoying the story so far and looking forward to more.

    Oh, I lve the image of Pigwidgeon flying in circles around Severus' head. It made me chuckle (I'd laugh out loud but my roommate is asleep and I don't want to wake her). I also love how gentle he was with the little thing. If only Dumbledore would have better timing. Now Sev is in a bad mood again.

    I love how you are handling the characters and the plotline. It's flowing nicely and you have let us into the characters heads just enough whist filling in the other iinformation we need ot know with your excellent dialog. Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    Hi there! Glad you liked the Pig scene. I really enjoyed writing that. I do think that Minerva's ponderings are spot on. AWho would have thought? But I think Sev would be an animal lover. He would find it easier to get on with them than with people.

    It's gratifying to know that you enjoy the dialogue. I try very hard to make it as natural as possible. Nice to know I have succeeded.

    Thanks so much for your review.

    real review this time. thanks for fixing the format! the long paragraph thing makes my eyes cross after a while. =) this is so believable from a character pov - you kind of want to hug and smack both of them constantly but it's totally to be expected considering their personalities, pasts and the craziness of their situation. love that bit at the end about pig - who knew he could be a severus snape fan? hope there are many more chapters ahead, i will be sorry when this is done.

    Author's Response:

    Sorry about the format. Don't know what happened there. When I checked the format after I had uploded it, it looked perfectly normal and I went to bed as soon as I put it up. I didn't fix it...I was asleep. One of the administrators (a friend) did it for me, so thanks to Tabitha.

    Glad you enjoyed the characters..I try really hard to keep them as much in character as the story will allow. And I have always thought that Sev would be an animal lover and that animals would like him. But saying that, I think that Pig is anyone's fan.

    There's a ways to go yet before the story is finished, so you don't have to worry that it will be done too soon.

    Lesley.

    Lesley-

    Thanks for the update! As usual, another great chapter. I thought Ron's reactions were natural and totally in character.

    I would have loved it if Flitwick and Poppy had heard Minerva's comment about Sev being an old softy!

    Donna

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Donna. Glad you enjoyed it and glad that you were happy with Ron. I think Flitwick and Poppy both might have their suspicions that Sev isn't totally the acerbic character he usually comes across as. They have known him for a long time, after all.

    Seems like they're all growing up a bit. :D Good to see.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your review. It's inevitable that the kids grow up and mature in their attitudes. And Sev is also doing a bit of growing up in the eomtions department.

    OMG! Maybe I'm strange, but I just loved that argument between Snape and Harry. I like when Harry is cheeky and insolent, and shows some backbone, and I love when Sev is all stern and puts Harry in his place! I love the angst, and I am going to love even better when they make up!

    One of my fav chappies so far! :) Brilliant!

    Author's Response:

    Hey Dawn. Glad you enjoyed it so much. I think the chapter showed that Harry is certainly Sev's son in the volatility department. Sev is actually seeing a little of himself when Harry's emotions get the better of him and he immediately erupts into anger. It is probably rather disconcerting for him.

    Glad you enjoyed it. Did you read it at work, you naughty girl. LOL.

    Lesley. :)

    Good chapter but there was no paragraphs, don't know if it was just my computer or the way it's come out but I thought I'd let you know :)

    Author's Response:

    Sorry about that Natalie. It has been fixed as I am sure you have discovered.

    Glad you enjoyed the chapter, despite the problem.
