    I'm guessing its a calming draught.

    Poor kid, he's all upset because he let his dad down.

    And Snape has no idea how sensitive children are to the comments of their parents!

    Author's Response: Might be... but then again... it might not... heh, I'm annoying, sorry. They'll sort themselves out... Hopefully I'll be able to post the next one soon-ish. Thanks for reviewing!

    That bell sounds really cool. Could it maybe summon Shadow if rung properly?

    And I liked how Severus called Harry Mr. Snape and everyone just about died. LOL! I mean really . . .did they not think he was going to call his son by his name? That part made me laugh.

    But I hope Sev calls his son down to his rooms soon and has a talk, they really need to have one.

    Author's Response: It has a lot of potential, doesn't it? But I think I'll keep its ultimate use a secret for now. I'm glad you're enjoying - next chapter should be the one where they finally talk! Thanks for reviewing!

    elcsüggedt is Hungarian for disheartened, downhearted so you could continue your alphabet properly, just not in english! lol. Poor Harry, having a flashback to previous potion class and Snape doesn't understand just how bad it has been for him in that class.

    Author's Response: Now, that sounds like a brilliant idea! Other languages - love it! Harry did have a flashback, but it wasn't to Potions class... I seriously considered doing that, but I changed my mind at the last minute - hopefully, I'll be able to update soon! Thanks for reviewing!

    man, i was hoping for a bit longer a chapter. still, it was really good. harry must have thought snape was being an arse on purpose, bringing up the bezoar again like the first class when he berated harry. hope you update soon!

    Author's Response: Well, I can promise that the next one will be longer (and will contain the expected scene!) I won't say anymore now - I don't want to spoil it, but thanks for reviewing! :)

    Short, yes, but very effective. Harry really needs to calm down so he can remember stuff and communicate better.

    I lvoe the idea of Vivemancy and I can just imagine what the bell sounds like. I am suspecting that the bell will prove important later on in the story but won't ask you to verify my suspicions. I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter.

    Bravo!

    Author's Response: Thank you! I did think he needed a bit of extra space before they 'talked' to each other. I'm really glad you like the bell - apart from the fact I thought Harry really did deserve a bit of a break from his emotions, you're right about its significance... Hopefully the next chapter will be ready soon(It contains the scene that everyone's been waiting for, but possibly not in the way they expect)! Thanks for reviewing!

    Wow, I wish I could see what Harry looks like now! I loved when Snape called Harry "Mr. Snape" and the class gasped. At least Snape didn't reprimand Harry for not knowing the correct answer to his question.

    Great chapter, as usual, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

    Author's Response: Alas, if I were an aritst... I have made several attempts of trying to draw Shadow, but they all ended in disaster! I'm glad you liked the chapter - the ah ha! moment was fun to write. I won't say anymore now, but hopefully the next chapter will be done soon! Thanks for reviewing!

    Disturbia.... umm.... Dead.... Deplorable!!! Ooh, I like that one. Haha.

    Author's Response: ha - that is really weird; I was listening to that song literally seconds before I got your review. Deplorable - love it! :D

    "Drop Shadow"? According to my dictionary it should mean "Shade, shadow". English is nice. Mila

    Author's Response:

    Hmm, interesting - I shall have to consider it! Thanks for the review :) Almost done on your story btw!

    Another good chapter!

    I'm still angry with Snape for his harsh punishment of Harry (yes, I know this is just a story LOL) but glad that he's starting to worry that he might have been unfair. It's a good sign that he is worried that Harry is avoiding his eyes as he comes to class since it would be entirely possible for that to just make Snape angrier at Harry.

    Although some of your reviewers seem to feel that Snape's punishment was fair and not harsh, I think banning him from his broom and Quidditch for one or two terms is much harsher than taking away broom playing privileges for part of the summer. Playing on the House team is important to Harry - it's part of who he is. Besides, I'm sure it has occurred to Harry that
    Snape just might like the fact that taking Harry off the team is helping out his Slytherins.

    Another interesting part of this is something that canon never really addressed. Because of Harry's adversarial relationship with the Dursleys, he never learned that adults might have a good reason to withhold things from him. For example, why did the Dursleys not allow Harry to watch their TV or eat enough food or have toys, etc.? They wanted to make him miserable -- just like Snape seems to want at this moment. They weren't trying to teach him something or protect him. I would think it is going to be hard for Snape to regain Harry's trust. He (IMO) rather blew it at the first test. Harry was wrong and needs to realize it, but Snape needs to understand Harry better.

    But anyway, looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, it's great to hear that you're being drawn into the story so much :) Yes, I could have Severus a lot nastier, but that would have held back the rest of the story for a while and I didn't want everyone to get bored. Besides, it would be mean to Harry (you can tell I'm getting drawn in too)!

    If handled in the right way (and made much shorter) Severus' original punishment would have been mildly acceptable, however, as it was not, once Severus realises that he's done something wrong, he will end up changing the punishment to something that Harry would be able to understand. Anyway, I'd be interested to see what you make of what happens when they finally end up talking it over! Thanks for your lovely review :)
