    Great chapter, i liked the way Albus and Severus talked, and Sev was actually acting rational instead of flipping out at Albus the way some writers have him doing. Severus is very controlled, unless extremely provoked and it takes A LOT to provoke him. I also liked Minerva's take on things and the way you didn't have Albus tell Severus that he should guard Harry or assume responsibility for him.

    Funny that you should mention a beta, since I beta for slytherensangel26 and if you'd like I could do the same for you, I'm a former English teacher and used to correcting dozens of papers for content and grammer. Let me know if you still need one, then contact me by my email.

    Hello! Thanks for reviewing. The Albus/Severus dialogue was a difficult one (well almost all dialogues are for me!), but I can almost never envision Severus shouting at Albus... in this case especially, after all he did contribute to the mess! And I am sure that Severus feels things very deeply, but he almost never shows it and I guess this was not enough to have him explode ^_^

    Thanks for offering to be my beta, I think I am all set now, but thanks the same for offering your help! Thanks!

    I'm so glad to see an update! I enjoyed all the interactions between the professors, and I had to smile at how Severus thought that he might, under an Unforgivable, admit that he felt something akin to affection for DD. Not actual affection, of course...*rolls eyes at Sev*

    I liked how Severus had to admit how wrong he'd been about Harry, and how he realised that his actions were completely inappropriate. Hopefully, he has realised that Harry is not his father and can begin to see him as a person in his own right.

    I loved how tender Minerva was when she was sitting with Harry, and how she talked about her past with a baby Harry.

    Now I can't wait to see how Severus is going to react with an awake Harry.

    I saw that Kim has offered to beta for you, and since she is my beta, too, I think I can say that she is fantastic! If you would like a second beta, I'm willing to help, too.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for reviewing! I did like that phrase as well, I just liked how it sounded, something like poor Severus and a dentist ^____^

    I'm finding very difficult managing Severus' change of heart at the right pacing, I don't want it to be too sudden, but I'd like it to be a sort of an epifany as well, as if he suddenly could see how Harry really is, so I'm trying to balance it a bit for a while, hopefully it will work ^_^

    As for Minerva... I really love her. She looks so severe, but she is mellow deep inside, she just does not want to show it, I loved the way she was at the end of DH and how it shows that she loves Harry, so that's where she comes from.

    Thanks for offering to help betaing ^_^ I have accepted Kim's offer and if that's not too much for you, I'd really like to send you the chapters to read as well, provided that I don't stop you from writing, since I've become totally addicted to your stories :)

    An excellent chapter and very well written. I especially liked the conversation between Severus and Minerva. I look forward to more.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I am happy you liked it, because it took me ages to write. I am really bad at dialogues and I need hours of "polishing" after I write them ^_^

    Wonderful chapter! I really love how you worked everything out. Snape, Dumbledore and McGonagal have all accepted their part in the blame and are all thinking back to what should have been. It's not unusual to find this in a story, but it's unusual to find it done so well. The need for Harry to express his feelings was worked out beautifully, too, with a needed potion and it's after effects. I love it! If you're still looking for a beta, I'd love to help. It's always an honor to help authors who really work with the characters themselves, and what is in their hearts.

    Author's Response:

    Hello!

    Thanks for reviewing! I am so happy you like it! I am trying to provide Harry with a family of his own, somehow, it does not matter how strange it will turn out to be. I just want him to be able to receive the support he obviously needs ^_^

    And he needs to let go of all the pain he has been storing inside for so long, and since he is a stubborn Gryffindor I decided to help with a potion. How Slytherin of me LOL.

    Thank you for offering to be my beta. I am really happy to accept your offer and I will contact you soon by e-mail. Thanks again!

    Nice chapter! I'm sorry about your beta's, i hope things work out.
    Thanks for updating.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for your understanding! I am not a native English speaker and I worry about my style and grammar. I am really happy you liked this chapter, because it was very hard to write ^_^

    I'm glad you're back! This was a good chapter. I thought you gave Snape the responsibility of Harry very nicely.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! It was a difficult chapter to write, for me. I started it in April and I finished it a few days ago. In the meanwhile I had no time to write, but I did think a lot about what I wanted to write, so in the end putting everything together was pretty stressful :)

    As for poor Snape... well, if Dumbledore asked him, he'd find a way to refuse or feel compelled to do it. But since Dumbledore is busy looking for a new family for Harry... he is the only one who can make sure that he is well protected. Dumbledore outsmarted him and even if Severus knows... he just has to admit that Albus is right. I am proud of that part :)
