    Hopefully Snape will tell Harry what he finds otherwise, knowing Harry, he will stumble across the truth somehow. Another great chapter and I must say that these constant updates make me very happy!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Alexis for another review.

    I seem to have a core group of regular reviewers which is great.

    I will have a new chapter out today, so hopefully, will hear from you again.

    Great chapter! I loved how Severus is ruminating on fatherhood, and how to develop a bond with Harry, or if he even wants to try. (But I think he will, once he's grown a little more accustomed to the idea.)

    And it was insightful of him to realize that he made Harry walk so far as a way of taking out his own frustration and worry. Course he's been taking his feelings out on Harry for years now, and he's got to learn to relate to Harry in a healthier way.

    Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks once again.

    Yeah, Snape is certainly a bad tempered so and so and he definitely needs to direct his ire at a new target, doesn't he.

    Yes, Sev's own childhood and his bad choices assured that he would never think of having a child. Also, the fact that the only woman he had ever loved chose another man made it certain that children were not part of his future plans.

    Best laid plans of mice and men etc...

    Good chapter! I love how protective Hagrid is, and the conversation between Dumbledore and Severus was interesting...you've put a lot of thought into how Severus and Harry are related.

    And I loved Harry's interaction with Severus, too!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Kristeh for your review.

     I love Hagrid and I think he will always be protective of Harry becuase he rescued him from Godric's Hollow. I think a bond was formed then.

    There have been a few fics about 'Blood' themes and I really had to think carefully about how out there it would be to have two fathers. But I figured that if we can have male pregnancies in the magical world, three lots of genetic material would be acceptable.

    I think I have made it seem realistic enough. Hope so anyway.

    Harry calling Snape dad, even as a joke, was very unexpected. Poor Snape was quite shocked there. Great chapter and and I am loving the constant updates!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Alexis, for another review.

    Yes, Severus was very shocked, what with his present worries about what he will discover with the paternity test.

    Of course, deep down, he has to know there can be no other explanation for the birthmark.

    I love how you decided to make Snape Harry's father, very original (or at least, new to me :) You are a brilliant writer

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Katie for your thoughts on my writing. I do try very hard.

    At 55 years of age, and being a very prolific reader, I have had a lot of time to take on board how to write. I was also very good at English at school.

    I am very fussy with correct spelling and correct grammar. 'Tenses' in particular are a sore point with me. I find some writers have trouble keeping their past, present and future tenses straight. They can change tenses in the same sentence.

    Saying all that, no-one is perfect and we all make mistakes that others pick up on.

    Still, it is heartening to know you enjoy the story so much and that you like my writing style.

    I really like this story. A very interesting take on the Sevitus theme. You write Severus and Harry in a very believable way. The tension and angst is very good and you keep me anxious for any new developments in their relationship. I also like the Albus-Minerva ship and you are doing that well too. Please continue posting this interesting and well written story. Quinn

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Quinn. Your review is much appreciated.

    It is always exceedingly pleasing when people tell me that I write well and that my characterisations are believable.

    I really try to keep everyone as close to canon as these AUs allow.

    Very glad you approve of Albus and Minerva.

    Keep reading and hope to hear from you again

    Hey great story, I love how you are incorporating Albus and Minerva into the story as well.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Katie. I love Albus and Minerva as well and I always thought they might have been more than just friends.

    Of course, the 'gay' revelation hit that on the head, but we can always live in out imaginations, can't we?

    I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

    Hi, there,

    Sorry for taking so long to read, but I'm really enjoying your story! Severus comes across as very believable with canon Snape, but with a rich, full history that gives him a lot of potential to change and grow.

    It was very clever how Harry was poisoned and Severus came to discover the truth, or at least I suspect it's the truth.

    And now that Harry's awake, they can really begin to interact. I hope Severus will use his new knowledge, both of their (possible) close relationship, and Harry's miserable life with the Dursleys, to make some changes in how he acts. I think Harry would meet him halfway if he thinks Severus has really changed.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you Kristeh. Your review is most welcome.

    A lot more interaction between Sev and Harry is coming up but it is not going to be smooth.

    Albus was very right when he said that Harry had inherited Sev's temper.

    Neither of them know when to pull their heads in. It is three steps forward and one step back for a long time, I am afraid.

    Hope to hear from you again. I have just uploaded chapter 6.

    Cliffhangers are evil! I am enjoying this story, please write more soon!

    Author's Response:

    Sorry about the cliffie.

    Glad you are enjoying and you won't have to wait too long as I already have 16 chapters written.

    The next one will be up today some time.
