    They got what they deserved, in my opinion, especially Draco. I don't think he'll forget again never to use martial arts on someone unless you mean to hurt them badly. that's the first thing we're taught in self-defense classes in the Air Force. I liked Draco's middle name too, that's the first time I've ever seen anyone give him one. Nice work and please update soon!

    Author's Response: oh good, somebody actually noticed I gave Draco a middle name.  I wondered if anyone would, I figured he needed one.  And you're right about the self-defense lessons, I was taught that in my karate classes.

    Well that was different from what i thought he'd do, but still fitting. I think the boys should start getting along eventually. Keep up the great work!

    Author's Response: I agree and hopefully they've learned their lesson!

    Well... I loved the punishment! ::cackles:: They deserve it, really they do. Those two should know by now - you do NOT mess with an angry Severus Snape. ::claps hands over eyes and shakes head:: Will they never learn?

    I love my dear and am eagerly looking forward to more.

    Yours,
    Lady Jewels Snape.

    Author's Response: No you don't, and they're typical teenagers, always pushing the boundaries.  They'll test him a few more times before they finally learn, silly kids!

    I am enjoying your story but one thing bothers me and it is a repeated reference to Harry being "mouthy" or having a "smart mouth". I don't remember a lot of sections in the books were Harry was this way(except maybe potions)...he would never have survived the Dursley's with a mouth. I could see him developing one after being sure of Snape in later years but not after only a month.

    Author's Response:

    You're right, Harry knew better than to mouth off to Vernon, but Severus is a different story--he shoots his mouth off to him right after Sev is hidden in the bedroom in chapter three, and once they move to the manor, and he realizes that Sev is nothing like Vernon, which occurs right after the incident with the summerdew, he feels more secure and will occasionally have an attitude with his father.  That's typical adolsecent behavior, even the best behaved kids get snippy from time to time, and once Draco enters the picture, Harry starts fighting with him, and is angry at Severus for bringing Draco there, and so consequently he mouths off to him.  I can recall several sections in OOTP where Harry simply runs off his mouth at everyone, his friends and his teachers, especially Dumbledore there at the end. 

    Harry in this story has the Snape temper, toned down a few notches, and the Snape sarcastic mouth, which is what Severus is forever scolding him about.  You'll see more of that side of him in future chapters.

    Great chapter - Severus' punishments are definitely effective ones. Will the nightmare affect just one of the boys, and the other one gets scared seeing them thrash around, or do the both of them have a nightmare?

    Author's Response: You'll see! Just wait!

    man! that was a bit harsh...but it was fitting.

    draco could have killed harry.
    i have a feeling that before long the boys will be having a heart to heart talk and discover just how much they are alike.

    great chapter!

    Author's Response: Yes, that's good thinking, and soon they will sit down and discuss their respective pasts.  And yes, Sev was tough on them on purpose, he really wnats them to end the quarreling its driving him insane.

    I think that was a very well thought out and well deserved punishment. I was happy to see Sev really think about it, and not fly off the handle like he could have. Was very smart to do the diagnostic spell as well.
    I really think that having to share a room is going to make them see things a little differently, and hopefully they'll start getting along better.

    It does seem like they decided to bury the hatchet, at least for a little while. I liked the idea that Harry didn't want to stick around for Draco's punishment, it really shows some form of maturity on his part. (Sev and the wooden spoon always makes me think he's channeling Molly Weasley, and makes me laugh).

    It sounds like Draco is going to have some Lucius horror stories to share soon. (I've been meaning to ask if you were going to get into any back story about what happened with Draco?).

    Keep up the awesome awesome work, thanks for the quick update, and please update again soon. It's really starting to get awesome. LES

    Author's Response:

    Yes, Draco's story will be revealed in a later chapter, and Harry will finally come to trust his foster brother and share his past as well, but not until something else happens first. 

    Sev and that wooden spoon, it's a typical mother thing, i think, mine always used to threaten and sometimes use one on us when we were kids and were trying to beat each other senseless.  But Draco did deserve the smacks considering he could've killed Harry with that kin-sa-dor technique.

    Both boys regret their actions and they both give each other a chance then Sev's punishment was effective. Having them share a room will give both boys a chance to get to know one another and become brothers by the end of the two months

    Author's Response: Yes, once they quit fighting and sit down and actually talk to each, they will discover that they've more in common than they thought.

    Very good. THe punishment fit the crime (though I had been wondering if Sev was going to magically fasten them wrist to wrist so they'd have to cooperate with each other to get dressed , eat, do chores,etc.). It sounds like The wake up call just might work. Great job!

    Author's Response: Ha, that would've been good too, but Scorpia already did something similar in her fic so I didn't want to go down the exact same road.  Plus, Severus doesn't believe in using coercive magic on children, that would only make them distrust him.
