    Oh, poor Harry. I've been where he is at the end of this chapter and it was not fun. I hope that Severus can get that counteragent in him before Harry totally loses it. And hopefully, Sev will see that benighted cuff and get it off Harry's wrist.

    As always, your characterizations and conversations were very well done and I love the relationship you have between Hagrid and Severus. You know, you are the first person I know who writes Hagrid as an adult. I appreciate that. Far too many people write him as being stupid and ignorant or just ridiculously childish. He might talk a bit more than is wise under certain ciscumstances but he is clever and wise about many things and should be properly respected, as you do here.

    Again, bravi, bravi, bravissimi!

    I know, it's hard when you start taking something and it does horrible things to your emotions.  Severus should be able to do that . . .and recognize the cuff for what it is too, if he spots it.

    Thanks for your support of my Hagrid.  I have always seen him as more than just a figure of comic relief and a bumbler.  To me, he is an often underrated and ignored character and that's a shame, because think about how long he's been at the school, and what he knows about things that have gone on.  he probably knew everyone's parents from Harry's year and could tell plenty of tales.  And sometimes he might say things by mistake, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.  To me, he is a wise figure, one who watches and sees much, but says little unless asked.  And then when he does talk, he has something useful to impart, as Severus knows very well.  And he is honest and does not seek to manipulate people, like Albus so often does.

    Wow, I'm surprised that Snape didn't use Harry as potions ingredients for talking back like that. I'm glad that Snape has forgiven Harry.

    Poor Harry. Now he got that burst of energy, he's it's dwindling. Now he's depressed. I just hope that Snape can snap him out of it.

    Author's Response:

    Severus can hold his temper when he needs to . . .and he knew the kid was under the influence of the potion and so could overlook a lot of Harry's cheek.  Yes, Severus has come a long way.

    Hopefully Severus can help him.  You can find out now!

    Awesome!
    I don't know how you can write such good chapters so fast!

    Author's Response: Thanks and I wish I had the answer, but I don't.  I just . . .write them!

    Ah! I suppose I can't be too mad because you always update so promptly, but good grief, that's a bad to end!

    Anyway, I particularly liked this chapter, especially Hagrid's talk with Snape. I love your wise and kindly Hagrid and how he leads Snape towards the correct conclusions about Harry.

    I only hope that Snape can take Harry's anger from the potion wearing off. I think Snape knows why Harry is going to be saying the things he'll say, but it will still be hard for Severus to let him act that way. Hopefully, he'll keep an open mind about Harry. Really, I hope he ends up seeing the cuff because it's obviously causing Harry a great deal of trouble.

    I look forward to reading more soon!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, i know.  But . . .their discussion really does deserve a chapter of it's own. 

    I'm so happy you like my Hagrid, I went out on a limb portraying him as more than just the dim-witted ignorant friend.

    Severus does understand where Harry is coming from, it might be a strain for him to keep his temper though.

    That cuff is something that will be addressed next chapter!

    Yup. Definitely screaming. Cliffies = evil. EEEEVVVVIIIIILLLL. But chappie is good. :-) Really like how as soon as Snape stops being angry at Harry for betraying him, he starts getting angry for him not taking good care of himself. Much fun. :-)

    Author's Response: yes, that's Severus all over.  Now that he realizes the kid didn't betray him, he has to find something else to scold him about and Harry provided him with the perfect excuse . . .he's not taking care of himself.  Thanks for reading and just wait till you see what happens next!

    Gyah! Personally, I'm still dying to know what the heck that Binding Cuff is doing to Harry! I can't think that Umbridge would just leave it at that, and it's obviously irritating him and getting worse, so there must be something else going on, and it's driving me nuts! Don't suppose that'll come up in the next chapter, too, will it? Please? ^__^ Looking forward to your next update (and yeah, I'm mostly a lurker, so this is my first review for you). Happy writing!

    Author's Response: You're right! That Binding Cuff is very evil and you should be suspicious about Umbridge.  I'm glad you dropped by to review, please continue doing so! Thanks!

    excellent chapter.

    If Sev really has used that potion before, he should be able to see what is happening with Harry. . . although, how much of that is because of his overall mental state--he's not in that great of shape(understatement). And would SOMEONE (preferably Snape, but even Hermionie would do) Please notice that blasted cuff--it's draining the poor boy! Is it feeding that nasty toad as well?

    More soon please!

    Author's Response:

    He does see it . . .and part of Harry's problem is the side effect of the potion and the other is his mental state--stress and loneliness.

    The cuff shall be noticed next chapter.  yes, it is draining him but no, the toad isn't getting any benefit from it that way.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, I'm so happy.  I always thought Hagrid wasn't given the respect he deserved, so I'm doing it here.

    You'll see next chapter, which is up now! Hope you enjoy it!
