    very nice chapter... loved it!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the lovely review! I am so glad you enjoyed it! It is a lot of fun to write, the next chapter should be up next week sometime. Hopefully near the start of the week, perhaps Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm pretty sure it won't be Monday. Thanks again!

    this was another incredibly good chapter, although once again i noticed you fluctuated between POV's... In this chapter, however, it didn't seem like it was as big of a deal... Why would Harry be complaining about reading in the last chapter, but be begging to go into the library and hoping to do his homework in this one? It doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.

    Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I am so glad you are still reading, reviewing and (hopefully!) enjoying despite my mistakes. I will try and get that POV thing fixed. Harry doesn't like reading and so is not happy about doing it for enjoyment purposes but he wants to go to the library to do his homework because he wants to finally get good marks on his homework and prove to Snape that he isn't as bad as he thought. Hope that cleared it up and I appreciate your reviews and constructive critism!

    I really like this chapter; however, if I were you I'd take out the sentence that says "It had surprised him that Potter had even bothered to say goodnight but it surprised him even more that he had replied"... Here's why: even when writing in third person, the narrative concentrates on the thoughts of one person. Sometimes it might change for a chapter or two, but never for just a sentence. If you'll notice in the real Harry Potter, for example, we never got to see what was going through the Dursley's brains (except for the first chapter of the first book, and then it was only Vernon) and we never saw what was going through the Weasley's brains... In this chapter you established the fact that you're letting on to Harry's thoughts, so adding in what Snape was thinking is a little confusing and just doesn't come across correctly. Additionally, the fact that you said Snape's goodbye was more of a reflex than anything makes that sentence unnecessary anyway- readers can sense it from reading between the lines.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the helpful review! It really helps me when readers give me advice, the whole reason I am writing (other than the fact that I love doing it) is to improve so I love a bit of constructive critisism. I understand what you mean about the POV change and I will try and stop doing it in future chapters, I'll revise the current chapters when I have some spare time as well. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

    eep! Exciting, I wonder what will happen next... I like it how your Snape and Harry interact - Snape is always so determined to see the worst in Harry, and Harry's determined to prove him wrong! I'm really looking forward to whenever your next chapter is out!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the lovely review! I have written some of the next chapter and it should be out early next week. I'm so glad you are enjoying this fic! It is still so unbelievable that people out there are actually reading my fic, let alone enjoying it! Reviews encourage me so much, thanks again!

    I like your story so much!!!
    Please keep writing!!!

    Author's Response: Oh thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so glad you are enjoying it! I have been dying to get writing and to update this fic but my laptop has died on me and has gone off for repairs and so I as I have half of the chapter on my laptop I can't update until it is fixed. I just hope they don't delete anything. Until then I have got someone to lend me their laptop for one hour each day which is enough to allow me to reply to reviews but not much else. *sighs*. It should be fixed by the end of the week *crosses fingers*. I hope so! Anyway thanks again for the kind words!

    I really like what you've written so far and am eager to read more:)

    Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I'm so glad you liked it so far, I really enjoyed writing it! Next chapter will be up very very soon. I really need to change the way I answer reviews, I need something new lol. I always start with Thanks for reviewing! And end with Thanks again! and somewhere in the middle is I'm really glad you liked it! Yeah, I'm predictable, I just don't want to give one person a reply which sounds more grateful than one I give everyone else as I love them all just the same. Well, for old times sake.... Thanks again!

    Oh, Snape's pretty pissed because he has to take care of Harry... And I'm anxious to find out what he is doing during the first week that forbids Harry to leave his room...
    So, I'm waiting for the next part... but patiently so.
    Have fun writing and thanks so far,
