Darn, I just remembered that Harry didn't want to see Draco. That's really going to put a damper on their interactions.
Nice reflection of Severus's at the end, there. Sums up his dilemma quite well.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Severus is in a difficult place. He cares for both boys, despite his anger with Draco. But Harry comes first, no doubt about that.

Noooooooo! *sobs brokenly* Whyyyyy? LOL, I hate it when I get so into a story, so used to having the next chapter just being there, and then I reach the end. That's what I was crying about. I really, really hate it. On the other hand, I really, really adore the story! The bit where they were flying was sooo great, and I loved seeing Norie and Zan again. I was very glad Severus still liked Draco, and is feeling sorry for him, and wants to help him!!! It was good to have an insight as to how Severus felt about it all. I hope Norie gets Harry out of it, I can just see him agreeing with everything Harry is saying about how resonable it is for Harry to want to go home, and that Harry's not hiding from everything, and then Harry finally snapping and growing back that Gryffindor spine. LOL, actually, that would mean that Severus would have had to talk to Harry first to get him mixed up like that. Anyway. I really hope Harry can face Draco soon, he's going to need to. I also hope Severus tells Draco that Harry was the one to allow him to come here, although maybe not because that would hurt Draco, and that he corrects Draco's assumption that Harry wants tolord over him, etc etc. Why am I writing all of this? You'll go your own way and it will be incredible no matter what I hope! I guess it just shows how immersed I am in the story that I can't stop thinking of what's going to happen next! Anyway, as always exceptional in every way, particuarly the bit about Severus' emotions! Adore it, can't wait for an update!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Vicky, for your wonderful reviews! I'm sorry it has taken so long to respond, but I have had pre-planning at my school this past week and scarcely had time to breathe. I think Draco will find out at some point that Harry is the one who spared him from Azkaban, but I'm not sure at what point that will come out. I'm happy so many people have commented on Severus' thoughts and emotions, because I did want to show that he is in a difficult spot, too. But Harry comes first with him now and always will. I will try to write some more this weekend, but I don't know how much will get done. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on this weekend. Thanks again, very much!

Great chapter! I really hope Severus can help Draco without Harry feeling betrayed.
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, Severus will try, but it is a tricky situation for him. He may make mistakes, but I think if so, his mistakes will be more with Draco because he is so determined not to let Harry down.

Ahh so good to see Harry back at the manor having a good time flying with his dad :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I really enjoyed writing the flying scene, short as it was. It was nice to let Harry and Severus have some fun and forget about everything else for a while.

Just caught up with 50 and 51. Wonderful as always! My only complaint is how could you leave it there?? LOL. I need to see some Harry and Draco interaction now that Draco's been put in his place. Can we see Draco scrubbing floors??? Pleeeez???
I suppose I can't blame you for a wee bit of a cliffee considering how I tend to drop people off the edge of the plot, though!

Author's Response: Hi, Aspen, Thank you so much! I'm sorry for taking so long to respond. I've had pre-planning at school this past week and it is always crazy. I've been so busy during the day and then so exhausted in the evenings that I've been going to bed early. There will be some Harry and Draco interaction in the next chapter...probably. I don't know about scrubbing floors, but he will have chores to do, how about that? And oh yes, you definitely have no room to talk about cliffhangers! You are the queen of the cliffies! Thanks again!

Excellent chapter! Can't wait to see new interaction between Severus and Draco, since he seems to be thinking more clearly than earlier in the day. I am looking forward to where you take this. I enjoy stories where Draco and Harry reconcile, I don't know if this is how that's going to go, but I am for whatever happens!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm sorry for taking so long to respond, but I've had pre-planning at school this past week and I've been so busy and tired I haven't had much extra time. Severus is trying to think of the best way to handle the situation, and I'm not sure he's entirely sure how to handle Draco right now. He may make some mistakes, but he will always put his son's needs first.
