    Wonderful chapter! I love the interaction between Sev & Gavin, it's so typical of a ten year old & his dad, as i well know having raised 4 kids. Love the way Harry & Gavin talk too, it's like seeing my two sons.

    Author's Response: Aw that's great! Thanks for your opinion!

    Three great chapters! Poor Snape had Galvin to comfort and Harry too. Keep up the great writing and I look forward to reading more soon!

    Author's Response: Yes I know I've stretched him a bit thin here, but he rose to the challenge as you can see.   Thanks for the great review and I look forward to reading more of your story as well.

    lol that was really cute. It looks like Severus is going to have two kids on his hands for a while. I love how much Harry is a kid at heart. Really starting to love this story, keep up the great work and please update again soon. LES

    Author's Response: Yes he will and he really likes it, even if he won't admit it.  Thanks so much for the review.

    They make such a lovely little family. :) I like how we got some more insight into Snape as a guardian in this chapter. He has always seemed like the kind of person who wouldn't say no to a bar of soap for the F-word..lol. Also, I thought it was good that you marked the differences between discipline and outright beating, referring back to the previous chapter and Gavin's dream. I appreciate how you made the abuse believable in the last chapter, rather than going on and on about Gavin getting pummelled and left for dead... A lot of fics have the Dursleys beating Harry within an inch of his life. And to me, it's just not that believable. Or necessary. But in this fic, Gavin is still damaged, even though the abuse wasn't incredibly severe...he suffered more from the emotional abuse and constant title of the "Devil's Spawn" (or something along those lines).

    Oh, and the last chapter...I just remembered... I thought it was brilliant how Harry mentioned the Dursleys when they were looking in on Gavin having his nightmare.... It was subtle and Snape didn't make a big deal about it... but I'm sure he heard. Sev is quiet the observant one, I believe ;)

    And finally, I adore the relationship that is developing between Gavin and Harry...like brothers. It was cute when Gavin was warning Harry about the potion...

    "Ugh...Don't drink it Harry! It tastes gross!"

    I loved that line. I love Gavin. I love story. Keep it up :)

    Author's Response:

    No, Sev certainly wouldn't say no to that.  As a matter of fact he does discuss his views on spanking with Harry in an upcoming chapter, stressing the difference between what he would do and what Ferrous did.  And I agree with you about those other fics that have the Dursleys battering Harry into the ground, it just isn't necessary to have that level of abuse and it isn't realistic.  And yes, poor Gavin is damaged both physically and emotionally but with time and Sev's help, he will eventually heal. 

     

    And yes, Gavin and Harry are like brothers and Sev is their poor exasperated father, LOL!

    It is never too late for someone to take care of Harry. And Severus is just the person to do it.

    Author's Response: Yes he is and Severus will too!
