    This definitely reads as it should. What a stunning parallel. Thank you so much for writing this.

    Powerful! A powerful story, and it was almost like coming out of a pensieve for me when I read the last line of the final posted chapter.

    I understand the lure of fanfiction when one has college papers to research and write.... I spent many hours scribbling fanfic when I ought to have been studying. Thank you for giving us these wonderful chapters despite your busy-ness with school.

    Well done!

    Author's Response:

    You've articulated very well one of the reasons why I write; it's heady stuff, having that sort of hold over a reader, if only while the magic lasts. Thank you for your kind words.

    Oh my God, this is beautiful!! Amazingly beautiful! You have kept the characters true to canon and have managed to put their pain in words. It's truly great. I hope to see more chapters sometime soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for the kind words -- they are well appreciated.

    I think this chapter is perfect! Again it's just beautiful. That scene from the cave is so heart-breaking. Perhaps it loses a little of its power, in light of what comes afterwards with the attack on Hogwarts and Dumbledore's actual death,...until you read it again and then it hits you like a punch in the stomach. How awful for Dumbledore, but just as much or more for Harry.

    And the ending...well, I just loved it and I'm so glad that Harry and Severus can finally see the truth and that Severus offered Harry comfort. I can't wait for your next chapter.

    Author's Response: I'm very glad that you enjoyed it! I very much agree that the cave incident is, in the book, rather overshadowed by the subsequent death and destruction. I've always thought that it should have been more traumatic than it was portrayed to be. And Snape, of course, does recognize the rather ironic parallel between the two incidents. The next chapter is in the works, and should not take as long as this one to complete, never fear. Thank you for your review, and for your kind words. Pax, Aethyr

    What a magnificent chapter! Neither Snape nor Harry seemed out of character at all. Please update soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I am glad you thought so! With regard to the updating, I am working on the next chapters of all my stories, and will post at more frequent intervals, now that school is no longer in session.

    Thanks for reviewing!

    This story, particularly this latest chapter (six) is what JKR should have given us throughout Deathly Hallows. Severus and Harry had one of the most fleshed out and defined relationships in the series and deserved better than her concentration on johnny-come-lately plotlines and cardboard characters being front and center. Thank you for this, I can't wait to see where you go with it.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you; I'm flattered that you think so highly of my work! I had some of the same criticisms when I read Deathly Hallows, and I reckon I may have been subconsciously compensating for them as I wrote this.

    Pax,

    Awww that was excellent, your best yet! I loved the last paragraph, there's lots of hope for our two boys yet!

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'll have to keep improving then, eh? *knocks on wood*

    I don't think I've read other fics that deal with this particular potions from HBP and it makes TOTAL sense that Harry and Severus would see some sort of connection through it. Dumbledore was their mentor and the man who has been sort of in control of their lives for a while... This chapter has won my heart!!!

    Author's Response:

    I am very well pleased that you are enjoying it, and that it has had some resonance. I've always thought the two scenes (the cave and the tower scenes) to be uncannily parallel, especially reading them one right after the other.

    Thank you for reviewing!

    Oh, lovely, you're back! I bookmarked this story ages ago in the hopes that you might return. It's so good to see the story continuing.

    Since you specifically ask, I think Snape removing Harry's glasses is a bit too deliberate a gesture. If he's hugging Harry, I think it has to be a more abrupt thing than that. Tears are messy. Getting your glasses smooshed against someone's body is only slightly more so.

    But I like it either way. :)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, Claudia, for your criticism and your encouragement. I had not thought of that; I myself do not wear glasses, and I had thought that they would be rather conspicuous and rather more painful when digging into one's face. I will think on it.

    I would also like to express my appreciation for your username. I am a student of history, and a sometime student of Latin, and greatly enjoyed Robert Graves's take on such an oft-maligned character in Roman history.

    Pax,
