    I really like this story and I'm so glad to see that you've updated. This was a really great chapter. I love the interaction between Harry and Snape, it's so real. I love the fact that you're showing that it take time to heal the damage abuse leaves behind. So many stories fail to get it right, either healing it too quickly, or not showing how deep things really go. Again, great job and I hope to see more soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you -- I'm relieved you like the pace.  I tend to worry that I'm taking things too slowly, actually.  It's a tough balance to find.

    That last section really choked me up! It's easy to get frustrated with Harry's anger at Snape trying to help him - but then to be reminded of how vulnerable Harry is, leaves me breathless with pity. I understand you have a life (and I hope it is a happy and full one!) but I hope you find the time to update soon - I had to re-read the whole story because I'd forgotten what had happened. Great work Lyra, thank you for the wonderful story.

    Author's Response:

    I wanted to show Harry's defenses going up -- hence the anger.  Like Snape told Dumbledore, "it's not all rainbows and butterflies."  While Harry is starting to trust Snape more, he prefers to receive help without actually having to reveal how/why he needs it.  He wants Snape to be a mind reader.  Thus, the questions irritate and anger him.

    Thanks for the review!  I'll do my best to update as soon as I can.

    can't wait for more. Love how Harry gets embarrassed by the thought of snape seeing his under garmets

    Author's Response:

    Yes, Harry does have some delicate sensabilities, lol.  Thanks for the review.

    You know I just love this story, and I'm really glad that you've updated.

    I want to just hug Harry and whack those awful Durseleys'

    Author's Response: Well, I have to admit I'd be worried if you wanted to hug the Dursleys and whack Harry, heh.  Glad you liked the chapter.

    Great chapter! I'm happy you updated again!

    The whole baby monitor was very cute...I could just see Harry all offended and pouting, lol.

    Poor kid, being embarrassed about his awful clothes that the Dursleys made him wear. That part where Harry had tried to patch up his own jeans brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad he has Severus now! Severus is really good with him, too. He seems to know just how to respond and help. I suppose because he had an abusive childhood himself, it helps him to empathize.

    Looking forward to the next one!

    Author's Response:

    The fact that Harry tried to patch up his own jeans almost brought tears to Severus' eyes, too.  He managed to save himself from an embarrassing display of emotion ;)

    Thanks again for reviewing Kristeh!

    Aww, sweet. That's a really good idea of Severus' and I liked the way he managed to persuade Harry to accept the walkie-talkies. Harry does seem to be getting better, but he's still got a long way to go. Brilliant update - thanks so much for sharing it!

    Author's Response:

    Heh, Harry does have a ways to go yet.  He'd do a lot better if I didn't throw these emotional situations at him in every chapter.  I keep trying to write an angst-free chapter, and it doesn't work.

    Thanks for reviewing!

    I loved this chapter, I think it's my favourite one so far...("and gods willing the child would never find out that the object was, in fact, a baby monitor with a few magical adjustments. Yes, that piece of information was better taken to his grave": that was my favourite line, I love Severus POV)

    Author's Response:

    I'm pleased to hear it's your favourite so far.  \o/  I enjoyed it too, from a writing perspective. Hopefully you'll keep the baby monitor a secret ;)

    Thanks for reviewing!

    Awwww! poor ickle embarrassed Harry! he is just so cute when he is emotional and in need of a hug or being picked up. I loved his reaction to the 'baby' monitor, it made me chuckle seeing him all offended and telling Severus he isnt a baby, please please update soon, I love this story and its torture (pardon my dramatics...!) to have to wait! : )

    Author's Response: Heh, I'm okay with dramatics, especially when they're positive and pointed towards my story :)  Harry is cute when he's emotional, but I'd never tell him that.  Way too embarrassing for him, lol.
