    Aw c'mon now, did you have to stop there! :o

    My heart is still beating a mile a minute. I was so sure something was going to go wrong. I just hope that there isn't some loophole here for Fudge to cause trouble.

    Please update soon, I'm on the edge of my seat. Nice work!

    Author's Response:

    Ah, sorry.  It just seemed like a natural breaking point.  Thanks for the review!

    I hope Harry sticks to his guns and doesn't let Snape push him around until he changes his treatment of Harry. And I hope he doesn't forgive Dumbledork easily either. . . his manipulations and betrayal is in a way worse than Snape's because Harry once trusted him.

    Author's Response:

    I agree with you - Even though Snape's a jerk, Dumbledore is (I think), more culpable.  With Snape - what you see is what you get.  He doesn't like Harry, and he doesn't pretend to like Harry.  Dumbledore, on the other hand, cultivates trust with an eye towards how that person can be used in the future.  Necessary, maybe, in a war.  But still not very likable.  And Harry will give Snape a run for his money.  :)  Thanks very much for the review!

    Fic continues to send me into a frothing rage. (I do love it. I pretty much LIVE on angst) I keep chanting "remember, you're not helpless, Harry. You're smarter then they think. Give 'em HELL, boy!"

    Author's Response:

    lol, angst is fun.  Harry is in a pretty vulnerable position right now, but (Harry being Harry), he'll find a way to cope with the situation.  Hope you continue to enjoy.  And thanks for the review!

    Good story. I hate your Snape and dislike Dumbledore very intensely too! I felt really, really bad for Harry when Snape took his broom and his cloak. I would think that probably told Harry exactly how bad this relationship was going to be and demonstrated his own powerlessness. I thought it also showed how little Dumbledore actually cares for Harry. Harry has no one in his life who does care about him except Ron and Hermione, so those two possessions are extremely important to him. I hope Snape end up having to return them in order to eventually gain a good relationship with Harry.

    Author's Response:

    Glad you like it!  Snape and Dumbledore are definitely at fault here, but personally, I think Dumbledore is worse than Snape.  But I have the benefit of knowing more about the story, so my opinion doesn't really count.  Now...on to the cloak and broom... Mind if I play devil's advocate for a second?  In light of the arguably dangerous free-fall stunts in the first chapter, and the trouble that Harry has, historically, found with the invisibility cloak, do you think there's another way to interpret Snape's decision to take those items away from him?  Is Snape really just being a vindictive jerk?  Or, is it possible that he's trying to keep Harry safe, but that he overreacted?  Or maybe, his actions were entirely reasonable under the circumstances???  I'm curious to know what you think.  Actually, I think maybe I'll pose this question in the next chapter, just to see what the general consensus is.  Thanks for the review. :)

    Fantastic chapter! More than a little upsetting, lol, but it's supposed to me. Great work!

    Author's Response: Thanks - I'm glad that you're enjoying it!  Next chapter coming soon... :)

    Excellent work. This story is well written, well thought out, and so much more believable than 99% of the other stories out there. Harry is strong, I like that. That's how canon Harry is and it's the only way I like him. Good Job!

    Author's Response:

    Ah, that's very nice of you to say!  The father/son thing is fun to write, I think because it's a challenge to do it and keep Snape and Harry in character.  So, it's good to hear that it's believable, and that Harry is coming across as though he has a spine (which is my favorite kind of Harry, too. :-) ).  Thanks for taking the time to review.

    This is such an interesting start. I cannot wait to see where you go with this. I truly want to know what happened to Snape's family and how our two favorite boys will get through this. Please update soon!

    Author's Response: Thanks - glad to hear you like it!  I wasn't sure how interesting I could make it, so it's nice to know that it's readable despite the standard plot-line.  As for Snape's family circumstances - that will play a big role in the fic, and the details will begin to unfold soon...  Thanks again for the review

    I'm really enjoying the story. I'm looking forward to the next update to see what happens at the MoM.

    I have to say that I loved the last line of chapter three and in chapter four when Harry uses the word Father as a slur. They certainly don't like each other much right now, do they? I hope their relationship progresses slowly...more enjoyable and believable that way.

    Great job!

    Author's Response:

    lol, yeah... they pretty much hate each other.  I should probably put an author's note somewhere, but the story is really almost completely about Harry and Snape coming to terms with each other, so it will progress slowly.  Since everything centers around this particular journey, there has to be a lot of conflict between the characters or the story would be pretty darn short.  ...

              "Harry, I'm your father." ... "No way.  Cool."  ...  "I love you, son." ...  "I love you too, Dad."  

                                                             ... THE END....   

    It just seems a bit empty to me that way... ;)    Thanks for the review, and I hope you continue to like it.

    Ahh cliff hanger!
    These last 2 chapters were amazing, and with plenty of angst =) The only problem I noticed in this chapter was that Dumbledore told Fudge that Snape is a spy for the Order. No one but the Order and Dumbledore are supposed to know this, and I don't think Dumbledore would tell Fudge about the Order at all, because it's a secret. But other than that another great chapter!

    Author's Response: Ah, you're right!  Something about that part of the story was bothering me when I wrote it, and I think you've nailed it.  But, on the up side, it doesn't really change the plot, since Dumbledore already told Snape that his spying is at an end, anyway.  Good eye for detail, though, so thanks for the review!
