    What a beautiful, though tragic chapter! It was just heartbreaking to read how Severus had to let Harry go (only temporarily, though, right?), and how grief-stricken everyone is.

    I loved how tender Severus is with Harry, and how determined he and Remus are to save him. I can't blame Severus for not wanting to return without Harry. His son is his life and he really doesn't have any reason to live without Harry.

    I loved Sirius' and Remus' reunion, but I think Severus and Sirius are going to have to find a way to get along if they hope to work together to save Harry. I just can't wait to see what's going to happen next!

    Author's Response: thanks Kristeh!  Glad you liked it.  It was really hard to write the emotions there.  Too hard to think of losing a child.  Severus is very tender with Harry and I love it as well.  Yay that you're excited and you're right.  Sirius and Severus will have to learn to somehow get along.

    Gulp.

    Are they going to bring Sirius to Harry to show him that he doesn't hate him at all and that 'Voldermort' (or whatever that thing is) is trying to take his soul for himself? This must mean that he hasn't completely succeeded right? or that he has succeed and Harry's beyond the veil now, with 'Voldie' doing horrible things to him (?) and that Snape's going to kick his arse with the help of Sirius of course.

    Oh dark very dark, can it get any darker? This chapter's like midnight black- you know that blackness you get in the countryside at night, a blackness that is really black, not that crappy dark you get in the city or towns. I have a feeling the next chapter's going to be as black as that black those scientists have created which is completely black to its core, which sucks in all light an all-comsuming insatiable black hole. Oh alright enough with the black analogies, need more!!!!

    Harryyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! come back. lol.

    You portrayed Snape perfectly, you painted it so clearly that i was there in my minds eye, the wobble of the jaw that wasn't a wobble the 'non-jealous' that Snape felt when Remus embraced Sirius, the heart-wrenching pain that flashed across Severus face when he let his son go. The empty green eyes.... Snape holding his son as a baby. *Sniff* that flash back was brilliant and perfectly placed.

    Arch please update soon, its inhumane to leave it here while we all salivate for more.

    Gulp is right.  LOL 

    LOL  There might be some arse kicking, yes. 

    I love that country-side black.  It's like that in my hometown.  There's not lights on our street.  Eeks.

    Thanks so much for your compliments.  And for letting me know the specifics of what you liked.  :o)

    I don't even know how to begin to review this. I've been sitting here staring at the empty little box you type these things into and I can't come up with usual goofy start. I'm just too blown away. So I'll just type and hopefully make some words flow.

    I cannot fathom how hard it must have been for Severus to cut he and Harry's connection. He knows he has no choice in order for any chance to save him to exist. But that can't make it easy. And it was obvious in how you wrote it that it wasn't... "against the rush of bile that assaulted him."

    And then...the line that broke my heart into a gazillion little pieces:

    "Forgive me, Harry, he begged. I will not leave you there, the wavering fingers promised, but there was no answer."

    Poor, poor Severus. Twice you mentioned how Severus' eyes looked so empty afterwards and I could just picture his face while he holds Harry so protectively. I'm so glad Remus is there by his side for this. Albus as well. In fact, in was in my, maybe, fourth reading of this that I realized in going on the search to retrieve Harry's soul that it has become a mission to save Severus' as well. His may be in as lost as Harry's if Harry cannot be brought back....they all know Severus would have no reason to live. It's a mission to save both of them now.

    "The mantle of blame." Severus may have taken it on, but I feel for everyone wearing it. The guilt must
    horrid.

    The emotion that passed back and forth between Remus and Severus as they prepared to step through that veil was heart breaking. (Wait, my heart was already broken....okay, so the pieces split intot smaller pieces). So very much at stake here.

    The flashback of baby Harry was perfect for setting the stage of just where Severus and Sirius stand with each other. Of course, Sirius will do all to get Harry back, of that I have no doubt. But just how in the world are you going to bridge their animosity towards each other? "Hatred will not save him." If Remus can manage it, he ought to be sainted. St. Remus has a nice sound, don't you think?

    I have so many dang questions! Why does Remus think Tonks doesn't want him anymore? I can't fathom that. She loves her man with a vengence and there must be some terrible misunderstanding is all I can think.

    How do you retrieve a soul? Did they bring a glass jar or something to put it in? And then there's the whole issue of how to put it back inside Harry. And they will have to go toe-to-toe with Voldy to get it. The Mighty Trio will be a force to be reckoned with though (if Severus and Sirius can overcome their mutual loathing for Harry's sake).

    And how long can Harry's Life Charm last? Long enough? Me and my infernal ponderings. Can't turn the brain off.

    Who gets the hug? Geesh, everybody needs one after all that sadness and the upcoming battle for Harry's soul. Heck, I need one after reading that! It was awesome!

    (Heading to the store to restock on chocolate now. We all need it.)

    Author's Response:

    Oi, your making me cry with your review.  Poor Men.  They are need each other so much.  well maybe Sirius doesn't Sev and vice versa but yeah...

    There is way too much guilt floating around, isn't there?  Wouldn't want to be those guys right now.  You'll just have to wait to see how they are going to retrieve's Harry's soul.  But yeah, it'll def. be a group effort in there.  Well, Sev was on his Life Charm for about a week, so Harry should be able to last for a bit.

    Oh, and I am not sure Sirius and Severus will be able to bridge their animosity just yet.  *waggles eyebrows*

    BRING SIRIUS BACK WITH YOU!!!!! It's perfect; Sev brings Harry, Remus brings Sirius. :-D

    One thing I don't understand, though, is why Sev had to let Harry go. And I suppose we'll find out what happened with Tonks later.

    I didn't have to wait long for a new part; yay! :-)

    Author's Response: Sev had to cut off the connection, or else, because they are connected, Voldemort would have pulled his soul through as well.  So, Severus cuts Harry off so that he will be fully alive to go and rescue him.  And LOL  You'll have to wait to see about Sirius.  And nope, didn't make you wait too long. I'm not so evil, after all.  :oD
