can you please send me any other stories about hp that you make. christopher.healy2@education.nsw.gov.au
Author's Response: certainly, though there are quite a lot on this site and also on another one that I post on called harrypotterfanfiction.com, that one has my Arista Snape series on it, where Snape has a daughter who goes to Hogwarts and no, she doesn't fall in love with Harry, she has her own friends and enemies within the school system and out of it. The beginning of that series is called The Very Best Thing. Some Good Guys Wear Black is a part of that series and it is posted on here.
Great chapter. I smiled when Harry got his glasses. I know when I got my first pair of glasses everything looked amazing, lol. Too bad his day wentdownhill from there, :( Sorry I have not been reviewing, I want to try and keep up with updates but life is holding me back, (frowns). Great story, brilliant chapter!
Author's Response: Me too and yes, harry never does catch a break, sigh! Bloody malfoy!
I really liked this chapter, also as a side note I am also nearsighted, without my glasses the world is just one big blur of color. I've had them since the fourth grade.
Author's Response: I know the feeling, I've had them since I was two and can't see two feet in front of me without them. Happy you're enjoying this.
i think he will give harry real work to do as well as a good talking to.
on to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yes he will give him a scolding and some work plus another thing Harry wasn't really expecting. Thanks for the awesome banner, by the way! I'll be posting it shortly. :)

Well, if Harry were my child, he'd be getting a bar of soap right there. No child should ever swear at an adult, no matter how mad they are, that's just plain disrespectful and I can't stand it. But this was a great chapter, by the way!
Author's Response: You're right. My mom or dad would have done the same thing.

Poor Harry. I would have trouble writing with a quill too, I'm sure. Malfoy's a bully, too, although Harry did desserve a detention. I imagine he'll be scrubbing cauldrons or writing lines; but it's hard to say. Snape can be pretty unpredictable.
Author's Response: I did try and write with a quill and ink when I went to Williamsburg VA and it is damn hard. They make it look so EASY in the movies and it isn't not at all! It takes months of practice, according to the person they had demonstrating. No wonder it took so long to write letters back in the colonial times here in the US and why the fountain pen was looked upon as a major breakthrough. Malfoy is the classic bully, but Severus will starighten him out one of these days. As for Snape's detention, it's coming up in the next chapter.

Please please update soon! I do think Sev shouldn't have said that to harry, but what harry said was far worse.
Author's Response: Yes, they both lost their tempers and said things they didn't really mean.

Sound like Harry could use some temper controling lessons,great chapter.
Author's Response: He could indeed that's always been one of his major problems, he has no self-control and is very impulsive.

It would be good if Severus were to realize that Harry is only an eleven year old boy who had to put up with abuse guardians for his entire life. THe fact that Severus's attitude changes constantly, even if Harry understands why it has to be that way, is a little much for such a child. I think that a good parent, which Severus clearly WANTS to be, not only constantly pushes a child to live up to THEIR expectations but also tries to understand where the child is coming from. Mindlessly yelling at Harry, or smacking him (though you PROMISED this wouldn't be a cp fic) isn't going to do any good besides from making Harry think that he has to live up to the Potions Masters expectations all over again or he will be thrown away like he was at the Dursleys. Yeah, Harry blew up and said things he shouldn't have, but Snape is old enough to realize that Harry was a) provoked and b) has little reason to trust any adults judgment, and Snape has to be unfair to him. Merely telling Harry that he must be unfair for safety reasons is not enough for a little neglected and abused boy to feel secure in his guardian angel.
If anything, Snape deserves a good smack just as much as Harry.
Author's Response: Don't worry, Severus will listen to Harry's side in the next chapter and he will be very angry at Malfoy for starting this fight. And there won't be any CP in this, aside from an occasional light smack every now and then. However Snape is a strict disciplinarian, so he will punish Harry for swearing at him, regardless of the reason behind it. Sev is by no means a perfect parent, or even sure he can be, and this setting is difficult for them both, neither can show how they really feel, they always have to hide, and there will be misunderstandings on both sides. But Severus will always be there for Harry and he will makes sure that Harry knows it and that he is loved.
awww! poor harry... i think that the waiting will be worse than the punishment. i hope snape won't be too hard on him... i hope he'll get the full story of the quarrel and perhaps give harry some help (in his own stern way) with dealing with his temper and with malfoy... and damn it, he owes harry a hug!
Author's Response: Harry will get to tell his side of things and yes, he will also get a hug . . ..after his punishment, of course!
