    I'm probably the only one who feels sorry for all three of them. But I can't help but feel sympathetic toward Tobias. Addictions are pathetic, but they're sad and utilized by people who are empty inside for some reason or another. In Tobias' case, his father never provided him with the affection he needed (judging by his side comments about his own childhood). And it's obvious that Tobias felt awful for hitting Harry. I thought Harry's reaction was perfect, by the way. I love the way you write Harry as a six-year-old. I know I've said that before (Sorry for sounding like a broken record..lol). I just want to tackle hug the kid in this story, he's so cute...

    Anyway, my stomach clenched at the last line, and I just was a bundle of mixed-up emotions... You're cruel. *shakes fist* I wasn't certain who I felt more upset for. Severus has a right to be angry, given he was an abused child; however, Tobias is probably as clueless as Severus about how he's changed.

    Okay, so I just glanced up and read the last couple of paragraphs again, and I got a lump in my throat. You'd better update this quickly. I'm dying for a new chapter!

    I suppose I'll just have to go and reread... *sighs* ;)

    Author's Response: No, you're not the only one who feels sorry for all of them, believe me! I wrote it that way on purpose, you know! *smirks*  And I'm posting the latest update right now, as a matter of fact!

    Oh my! I feel very torn.

    You did a really great job writing this chapter, I can understand and feel how the characters are feeling! Severus has gone through much pain and wants his child to be safe, plus Tobias really should have know better. However, I also feel bad for Tobias (I never thought that would happen! O_O) because he has truly gotten attached to his grandson and improved into a better person whom realizes his mistakes and wants to make up for them.

    Poor Harry. He just got over a bad incident and now will miss his time with his grandpa and want to see him again. However, for that to happen Tobias really needs to earn his son’s trust. I want them to become a happy family, but Tobias needs to learn his lesson through this as well.

    Ah well, maybe some supervised visits can be worked in? Also, I understand Severus’s love for Lily, but hope he can eventually find someone to help fill that gap in his life. So long as they aren’t a Mary-Sue *shudders*. I can’t wait for your next chapter, so please post again soon!

    Author's Response:

    Oh good, I was hoping you'd feel some sympathy for Toby, because he's not a terrible person, just one with a very huge problem who has made some terrible mistakes in the past and now must come to terms with them and hopefully reconcile with his son and grandson.

    As for Sev's love life, perhaps I'll deal with that issue some other time, if I make a srquel to this one, since he's got enough on his plate right now without adding a girlfriend into the mix.

    aww... :( I hope the next chapter or so will show Harry and severus spending some time together. They need time to bond again after the long separation! I'd be surprised if harry wants to let go of Severus for a second! Also, what happened with the D.E's and why is it safe for them to go home now?

    Author's Response: Yes they do indeed need some quality time as for the DE's they are still out there, but they're lying low since the Aurors are all over their ass, and you'll see why Sev and Harry can go back home, I'll explain more in the next chapter.  Thanks for your review, as always!

    Oh dear. On one hand I want to agree with Severus and wish he had cursed Tobias (he should have known better). On the other hand I just want him to be forgiven and they can be a happy family. I'm so torn.

    Great chapter and (as usual) I can't wait for the next one.

    So what do I think will happen now...I'm thinking that Harry left something at Tobias's house and Severus is going to have to retrieve it and they will talk a bit more? Or something horrid will happen to Tobias (hit by a car, accident at work...etc) and he'll end up in a hospital and Severus will have to go see him.

    Then again I could be wrong and you have something completly different planned. I sure it will be wonderful.

    Great chapter and please update soon.

    Author's Response: Hmmm . . .. those are very interesting thoughts and I'm not sure exactly what will happen next with Tobias.  I'm going to focus on Harry and Sev for some parts of the next chapter and then go back to Tobias.  You'll see when I post the next one!

    Poor Tobias. But every alcoholic has to learn the same lesson (some more than once) - it only takes one drink.

    I hope Harry insists on visiting his grandpa (and sometime in the future, I hope Severus realize that he can love Lily and still love someone else)

    Author's Response: It does and every alcoholic knows it.  And Harry will not abandon Tobias and as for Severus's love life, it will take a turn for the better!  Once he reconciles with his father, that is!
