    I must admit that the time difference seems backwards to me. It would seem that it would be nice to have more time in the manor and have less time go by outside. Thus, summer would seem to last 6 months, while only 3 months went by in the "real world." Why would the owners want to only get one day at home on a two-day weekend? There were also many run-on sentences in this chapter. I am interested to see how Sirius takes things.

    Author's Response:

    Traditionally in the stories, that's how time runs in the faerie kingdom--a person goes there for a night and then comes home to find years have passed.  So that's why the time difference is set up like that.  However, the clock is more than just a clock, it can do more than just tell time in both realms.  But that's all I'm going to say for now.

    Harry will be recieving a reply to his letter in 2 chapters from Sirius.  Thanks for reviewing!

    Is Harry in for a spanking?

    ::grins and wags finger:: Bad Harry! I know he's tired but... does he really want to make his dad - SEVERUS SNAPE? - angry with him?

    Update soon my dear; you know I love it.

    Yours,
    Lady Julie Snape.

    Author's Response: Well . . .let's just say he's in a lot of trouble!

    I think he'll be worried until he figures out that he passed out, then I think he will let him suffer the consequence of drinking like all mortal parents do. Personnaly I remember my first time getting drunk, and I've never repeated it, I threw up for 3 days... Yuck!

    Author's Response: Oh that's terrible, but sometimes you have to learn the hard way, and Harry will too!

    Sev is still new at being a father and will make some mistakes he should have gone to Harry and comfort him and talk to him, but decided to give him some space. Harry's decision to drink because he couldn't sleep was bad very bad, even if Sev left it out that is no excuse Harry knew that he wasn't supposed to drink.
    I think that a long stern talking to is needed, I would say don't give him a hangover potion but he is still a child and alcoholic poisoning is dangerous. I would also have him do an essay on the effects of alcohol on children and all the reasons why he should not drink. I would have also given him a sound smacking – with his hand no abuse but punishment (but that is just me)

    Author's Response: Yes, and he will be having a very long talk with Harry after he finishes ranting and raving.  The essay is good and mine would've walloped me too if he'd ever caught me drinking like that.

    This qualifies as a champion bad idea; but Sev left the stuff out...sans spells, unlike the library. Asking for it.

    Author's Response: True, but it was already out before this and Harry never touched it.  You'll see what happens in the next chapter though.

    Gack! Such angst! (and I love you for it, you know). Aaw, poor Harry, I wish Sev would've gone after him.
    Ooh, I can't wait to see what Sev will say when he finds Harry's been drinking. Wanna know what I'd like to happen? Well, here goes:

    Sev will wake up and find Harry on the couch, and he'll wake him up. He'll find out he's been drinking from his breath or something, and he'll be livid.
    He'll yell or get angry, or speak in a dark, Snape-like tone, and scare Harry because it reminds him of his uncle.
    Sev'll continue ranting, and Harry will get so scared and feel so betrayed that he'll start to cry.
    Now, Sev will realize what's happened, and of course, he'll be appalled! He'll sit down beside Harry and hold him and tell him he's sorry and he'd never hurt him. Harry'll say that he drank it because he was alone and afraid, and it
    smelled like home and like Lily.
    And from there....I don't know.

    Can you tell I'm an angst junkie? :)

    Well, I'm sure you didn't want to hear all that, it's just, this is such a great story, I get tons of inspiration when I read it.

    Well, can't wait for the next chapter!

    Keep up the great work!

    -Elise

    Author's Response: Thanks Elise and that's a really good idea .. .you'll see what happens next !

    Aww, poor Harry! I felt so bad for him. But at least they seem to be getting along now, although I shudder to think how Sev will react tomrrow morning. I don't think it will be good.

    Author's Response: Hmm . . .you're right about that!  Sev's going to be boiling mad!
