    Thank you! One of the problems I have with JKR's book is the adults *rarely* take responsibility with their actions. She downplays Harry's abuse, too. Severe neglect, possible physical abuse, starvation, etc(Vernon does threaten to tar him, Petunia aims a skillet at his head, and Vernon does commit battery with Harry, etc) So, thank you so much for putting a realistic spin on this well-written piece. I find most of the stories here a lot more realistic than in her story. I apologize if it appears I am ranting, but I needed the comparison. :D

    Great chapter! I loved the little mention of 'Potter's bed' in the infirmary...poor Harry, to have his own bed, and Severus wondering how high Harry's pain threshold is...probably pitifully high, poor kid.

    Minerva was excellent. I loved how she didn't hide her feelings, but showed how much she cares for Harry, and Poppy and Dumbledore were IC, too.

    I loved how you showed Severus' past, and how the actions, or inactions, of others affected him. I'm glad he was able to see that he has become the bully whereas Harry is the innocent victim, and I hope Severus will be able to show Harry his remorse, and will do his best to become supportive.

    Looking forward to more!

    Thank you for your kind review and I am sorry that I could not post sooner. RL is sooo bad sometimes. I had chapter 6 almost done by the end of April, then I had to go abroad for over a month, my betas vanished and I had to work without pauses for weeks. Wheew. Now it's better.

    I am so happy that you love how I depicted the characters, because it's really difficult. I know how "my" Severus, Harry and the others are, but putting it into words and in English, well... that's not easy. I always believed that our past is what forges us, somehow and I could not handle Severus, Minerva and Harry without basing on that. I admit that writing Minerva was particularly difficult! So thank you for appreciating it!

    It was a good chapter, but I want to see more interaction with Severus and Harry.

    Thanks for writing this. Please update again soon.

    Author's Response:
    I am sorry that the update come so late. I apologize, but I really had no choice. As you'll see from the new chapter, Severus and Harry are finally together and now the fun starts :)

    I am glad that Minerva is finally acknowledging that she wronged Severus. I'm sure this will help him to deal with the guilt and begin to be the kind of support that Harry needs.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review. Minerva and Severus are colleagues and they should really stop bickering :) Now it's up to the "boys" to make things work!

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review. And I am so happy that you like how I write. I am sorry I was so late with the next update, but I've working like a slave and had no time to write whatsoever. I'll try to post more soon!

    Your McGonagall is perfect. I loved Snape's story coming out. This was a wonderful chapter. I'll be eagerly waiting for more.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I am so happy that you liked how I "sketched" the characters. It really was very difficult, but I am happy with the results now.

    And I apologize for posting the new chapter so late. I had it almost done by April 15th, then I had to travel for over one month and when I came back I found that my desk at work was seriously risking breaking due to the heaps of paper on it. And it took more than one month to sort it all out. Now I can finally write again! Thanks for your patience!
