    Who's 'Joseph Campbell'? Hehe Matron Mavis, what a brilliant name.

    Author's Response: I'm a mythology buff, so I had to put him in there. LOL! And I don' t know where I got Mavis from, but I thought it fit perfectly.  Thanks for reviewing!

    Huzzah for Severus! I think he did a really good job reassuring Harry without putting up with his sulks, and the way he scolded Dumbledore was brilliant xD

    Author's Response: All right, so glad you like this one!

    Wow! Go Severus! THis was an excellent chapter. I loved the way Sev hadled Harry and Dumbledore. I've been wanting him to tell off that interfering old man for years. What I like best of all is that he is not out of character. He is still the Severus Snape from the books but with more background and deeper reasons for doing what he did. A most excellent chapter and story.

    Author's Response: Thank you, I try to make Severus similar to the books, but at the same time give him more of a background and eventually you will see him getting more paternal towards Harry and Draco as well!

    I've never heard of using Harry Albus before. I like it. Great conversation between Harry and Severus, but I have a feeling Severus will need to repeat it many times more. I can't wait to read more!

    Author's Response: yeah, i wanted to give him a different middle name and that seemed to fit nicely.  As for that conversation, yes, it will need to be repeated over and over, as you'll see.

    Great story! You have a very good ear for dialogue - an important skill for good writing.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I think my dialogue is one of my strong points, I like to listen to how a person says something as well as what they say.

    Sev was right to show Harry Draco’s letter, that and the talk after should let Harry become more tolerate to Draco, but unfortunately Harry is a teenage boy so I’m sure that as soon as Draco steps in there is going to be trouble.
    Albus is mad, he is a meddling crazy old coot – the saying ‘the path to hell is paved with good intentions’ comes to mind, Albus has convinced himself that his actions are for the greater good, but his actions just hurt the people who he exploits. It is obvious he had Sev play dead only to get him away from Lily – just because she was not meant to be with a Slytherin but with a Gryffindor golden boy like James – it was for no other reason it had nothing to do with defeating Volde, but Albus may have convince himself in his mind that this was what was right. He has done the same with Harry, deliberately putting him in an abusive home for him to suffer – he risked Harry becoming an angry revengeful individual (I wonder if he left Tom Riddle in the orphanage for the same reason). Did Albus not consider that training Harry to use his power from early age would have made him into a more powerful wizard (or maybe he does not want a wizard even one dedicated to the light to be more powerful than himself)?
    I would advise that Sev goes and get Harry to be legally declared his son, because right now it is just Sev’s word and Albus is so vindictive (or delusional) that he may have Sev arrested for kidnapping (with Aunt Petunia in hiding, she may not know what is going on) and have him kept in Azkaban without trial (just like Sirius – I am convinced that he knew that Sirius was innocent – but just did not want him raising Harry as he would have raised harry in wealth and with love – and this would not have fit Albus’ plan for Harry), it would be all claimed to be for the greater good (especially now since Sev is no good to him as his status as a spy has been compromised).

    Author's Response: he should, but the rivalry between harry and Draco will not die so easily, unfortunately.   As for Dumbledore, yes he is a manipulative old man here, as I'm following canon more than I usually do, and eventually Severus will go to the Ministry and file a formal claim of paternity.

    Alrighty after that speech I have to do it. (Grabs Severus ands gives him a big kiss) Give it to him some more Sev he not down yet. I really love your Severus even with his dealing with Harry and how he said he is not going to favor Draco. I just hope you don't lock the two snakes in the potions lab and leave Harry to feel all left out. Can't wait for more keep up the good work.

    Author's Response: No, that's not going to happen, though there will be plenty of ups and downs for them as they all struggle to become a real family.

    wow...you really hate Dumbledore don't you?

    still this is good!

    and i can barely wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response: No, DD's okay, in the NA universe he's quite the good guy, but in this one I'm portraying him as clsoer to the canon portrait we learned of in Deathly Hallows.  Only he's much more open about it here.

    Yes, woohoo, give it to him, Severus. Dumbledore is an interfereing busybody. Take both of your sons far away.

    It was a good conversation with Harry, but Severus has to remember that having a father is new to Harry and he doesn't want to share this time. I don't blame him.

    Author's Response: And he will.  Severus does understand to a point, but he also is now responsible for Draco and he wants them to try and get along with each other. But it will take some getting used to, and there are some rocky times ahead. Hey, did you know I've finished Growing Pains? The last chapter was posted the other day, so if you want to R&R it....?
