    Poor Harry is really messed up. Can't he see that Severus really does care for him? I do hope he doesn't follow through with his plan or that Severus can stop him in time. Can't wait for the next one.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, Harry is right now and he is beginning to see that Severus cares, but he doesn't realise how strong Severus' feelings are for him.  Harry really sees himself as unwanted...a legacy of living with the Dursleys, and he just finds it hard to believe that Severus could really want him around, enough that he'd be devestated over losing Harry.  Right now Harry just doesn't realise how much Severus cares.

    Hi Kristeh -

    I love your story and I appreciate your disclaimers, but since your subject matter (suicide) is such a sensitive topic would you mind also posting a link somewhere to the Hope line? (http://www.hopeline.com/). It's standard media practice, and just in case any of your readers are more affected. I lost several friends to suicide in high school, and worked in advocacy and prevention after that.

    Thanks a lot, now hurry up and have Sevvy save him already :D

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, I will add that link with the next chapter; thanks for the suggestion!  I'll try to update within a week.

    Oh please please please please please update soon????? I have to know what's going to happen! This is definitely cliff-hanger-ish, I can't decide if I want to curse at you for leaving us hanging, or hug you for such a great chapter!

    It was definitely worth it to write out the letters, I think it told us a lot about Harry's state of mind. Severus has come such a long way since the beginning of the story, and I think Harry's starting to think that Sev just might care about him... :)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!  I will try to update again within a week.  I need a hug, please!  My betas will tell you about the computer problems I've had recently and how I almost lost this chapter right close to the end and even more importantly, some papers I need for work.  I was pulling my hair out last night.  I definitely need a hug.

    Glad you liked the letters, and Severus really has made a lot of progress, hasn't he?

    Great job on the letters, I think actually writing them out worked really well, as opposed to just saying 'Harry wrote letters to yadda yadda yadda'.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I did enjoy writing the letters, so I hoped they would work.

    "The other two things that mean the most to me are my invisibility cloak, my photo album, and my wand."

    ^that's 3

    Just doing some quick beta work :)

    Author's Response:

    Hi, Kaity,

    It's good to hear from you again!  Are you back home now?

    Thank you!  I originally forgot to mention the wand, so that's why that sentence says 'two things'.  I decided to go back and add the wand, but forgot to change 'two' to 'three'.  I went back and fixed it now.

    God I love this story!! It makes my heart ache..which of course means you are doing a fabulous job!! I love that Severus is so thoughtful..and I love the anguish from Harry..beautifully written..update soon please!!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  severus has come a really long way, hasn't he?  And 'anguished' fits Harry perfectly right now, poor kid.  But he will begin to heal soon...what's the saying about when you hit rock bottom, there's no where to go but up?

    i'm glad you went into detail in the letters, they are a perfect insight into harry's frame of mind at this point in the story. and they read (sadly) true to life for a suicidal person... eg. harry worrying about severus's wasted expenses when we know that would be the least of his concerns... this seems very realistic, suicidal people do tend to vastly underestimate the impact of their death on others...

    i really hope you're not going to kill harry off. i think it would be the end of severus too, at this point.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I actually quite enjoyed writing the letters, angst lover that I am, lol!  I know about Harry thinking the money would be important to Severus.  But he just doesn't really understand how much people do love him.  He underestimates the love that even people like the Weasleys and Hermione have for him.  He's just begun to think that Severus might care a little bit, but he doesn't understand the depth of Severus' feelings, not yet.  Will Harry die?  Now, you know I can't answer that, lol!

    Ahh! Will Snape find out in time? Will Norrie and Zan find the letters and tell him about them before he leaves for Hogwarts? Or will there be a mad dash back to the manor...? Sorry, getting carried away. This is a really great chapter. I thought it was really nice how Snape was so gentle with Harry. And the 'smouldering fire' was great description. I found Ron's letter a bit cringy, but I know that sometimes things have just got to be said to those you love and then, yeah, things get cringy! Looking forward to the next update!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Ah, so many questions...I'll try to answer them in the next chapter, okay?  Yes, I'm really enjoying Sev and Harry at this point and am looking forward to the next few chapters especially.  I wasn't sure about Ron's letter, but Harry is thinking that he's about to die and he does want Ron to know how he feels.

    NICE! I wish there was more though. Does Harry plan to kill himself while Sev's at Hogwarts? Please please please please please update soon!
    Thanks :)

    Author's Response: Thanks!  Yes, that's Harry's plan at the moment...we'll see what happens in the next chapter.
