    Oh, what a beautiful chapter! I was torn between just being so happy at lovely interaction between Harry and Severus, and being sad and emotional at all the sorrow and pain they're feeling.

    I loved how Severus was determined to mend the rift between himself and his son, how he wouldn't allow them to backtrack and have any distance between them. They are past that now. They are close enough that they can work through problems together and that's wonderful to see.

    I was so touched when Severus told Harry that his opinion mattered more than anyone's, and Harry was very mature and considerate about Severus' relationship with his mother. Harry's statements about Azkaban being so horrible were kind of thought-provoking and I think he's right.

    Harry's pain when he told his father about Ginny breaking up with him came through so clearly that it was almost hard to read. I'm so glad that he does have Severus to help him through this time.

    It was a wonderful chapter, Tabitha! Now I'm off to read the next one!

    Thank you for such a well-written continuation of the story. The dialogue and reactions are very realistic. Well worth the wait. So Severus did not want Harry to know about his curse on Eileen because he feared Harry would think ill of him? I am looking forward to the discussion between Severus and the Weasleys. He has the perfect excuse to descend upon them without delay: retrieving Harry's robes. Whether Harry and Ginny continue to see each other, or agree on taking some time apart, it should be a rational decision made by them, considering the advice of their elders, perhaps, but forcing teenagers one way or the other is just as likely to backfire. The Weasleys have been emotionally overreacting from the start, and perhaps even (as Severus once did) not seeing Harry for what he really is.

    About Sminge: where was he when Severus and Harry visited the manor earlier? And why is Severus so concerned that the manor be kept in good repair? Does he have other remaining family who would expect it of him? Does he think he might want the property for something in future? Is he somehow magically bound to do this as the head of the family now? Just curious.

    It is truly a mark of how far they've come that their discord didn't escalate or become prolonged. A truly masterful handling of these two characters in what is my absolutely fav category- Severitus. Thank God you've created this third book. It would have been a real shame if I didn't have a Lily's Charm story to look forward to this year. Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response: Thanks delacre!  I'm so happy you're enjoying the third installment so well.  And yep, it would have been a shame for me as well.  I am having a lot of fun with these characters, this go-round in particular.  Thanks so much for the great review!  :o)

    U. R. A. Mazing. Lol, I'm so glad I got to read the chapter tonight! I guess there aren't too many things that can keep this father and son duo apart. I'm really glad things with Harry and Sev didn't regress and that Severus finally told the truth. It was also nice to know that Eileen was already dying, as that sort of redeems Severus, in a way, as well as him removing the curse during her last days.

    I'm very curious about what Sev is going to say to the Weasley's--yikes. Also, I wonder how long it will take Ron to try and make up with Harry. Will things be normal between him and Ron, even though Ginny broke up with Harry? I'm glad you're updating soon, even if I don't get to read it until the end of the week! Nice work!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Thanks PG!  I was excited to have it done so you could read it.  Great motivator!  :oD  I'm glad you enjoyed.  And I'm happy you're looking forward to the next chapter, even if you have to wait to read it.  Have fun this week!

    Another spectacular chapter :) I'm really glad that Severus and Harry have finally made up, I could barely stand the tension any longer!
    I can't wait to see what Severus has to say to the Molly and Arthur!

    Author's Response: Thanks!  And thanks so much for the review.  And yeah, the tension was getting pretty unbearable, wasn't it?  LOL  Now, onto to tension between other characters. :oP

    Awwwwww!!! That was so so sweet, and so perfect. Perfectly perfect and sweet. Okay, so I'm thrilled that Harry and Severus made up.

    Oh dear, Harry called him Sir!! Sir of all things. I'm glad they've made up if the situation had regressed to Harry calling him Sir!!

    I can't wait for the next chapter, which will be up in a few days!!! You are too good to us. (Jumps up and down, clapping hands wildly)

    Author's Response: Harry was in a rather bad state of mind at that particular moment.  LOL  Poonow r kid.  And really, you know I'm just gonna torture him more, right?

    I am glad that they got that out of the way.

    But really, what is the rush between Ginny and Harry. I know that teenagers think the world will end if they can't be together, but Severus must realize how young they are.

    As for Schmingel, after dealing with Keature. there is no way he would be anywhere near my family. Sorry. but he could be carrying out some of "Mistress" orders.

    Who, by the way, was a rotten bi%$# who really needing killing (as I once mentioned)

    Author's Response: Don't worry.  Schminge is bound to Severus, as much as to Eileen and Eileen was on good terms with Severus and didn't even know about Harry before she was cursed.  And since then, Schinge hasn't had much contact with her.  And she was in no condition to give anyone orders (and she couldn't really speak with all the pain and potions in her).  It took her last efforst to spell her last words on the parchment.  And have no fear, Severus wouldn't let Schminge near them if he was  a danger.  Schminge is meant to be symbolic.  No matter how Severus moves on, his family is always a part of him. Even though it's a rather benign piece of that past, it's still there.  Oh, and the thing that Severus has about Ginny and Harry is that he knows that Ginny is to Harry what Lily is to him. Age doesn't make any difference, especially to Severus. He's loved Lily since they were eleven years old.

    Wow...it resolved all my concerns from last chapter! I'm glad I'm keeping up this time, and one of these days I'll read all the earlier books.

    Author's Response: Glad you liked it, Tara!  I hope you do get a chance to read the other two.  :o)  Thanks for the review.
