    I'm feeling rather uncomfortable again. No one likes to feel like they are forced into a corner and that is exactly what is happening to Harry right now. He is sure to become even more resentful and angry, which will make him act out even more. I know that they feel that HARRY is making all this harder on himself, but their reactions are only making it worse and are at times actually causing the issues. And is it really necessary to humiliate Harry by giving him a shadow and no privacy at all? They don't seriously think that it will be conductive to his recovery?

    Sorry to say, but I still blame White Arrow on this whole situation. He shouldn't have sent the boys with Maya to begin with. Interesting that he said that it wasn't normal for them to send newbies off with other patients. Harry would have been far less resentful if it had been an adult that he had to get help from. Has White Arrow forgotten what it's like to be a teenage boy? It was humiliating to Harry to have to ask for help from Maya, who clearly was wanting to think only of herself.

    White Arrow made a serious mis-step when he spelled the water into Harry. In my mind he violated Harry by doing so without permission. What he should have done was back off and leave the bottle with Harry. Harry wouldn't have run off if he hadn't tried to force him to talk when he wasn't ready to. And following him only aggravated the situation. Sometimes it IS best to give someone space. I can't blame Harry for feeling imprisoned...I know I would.

    The reaction of the characters really depend a lot on how I feel at the moment were I write the chapter. I fear you will get a heart attack if you go on reading so. I write to balance myself out. At my work I often feel helpless and very much out of control. Therefore I write fanfiction to help me to balance my feelings out. Therfore my character often have a conrtol issue! The stories are not written to be realistic or good writing style. I need them for myself and just upload them because I realiced that other people still like them even so they are very weird. So you are totally right with what you wrote in your review, but I can't and don't want to change it! Many mental hospitals and soem outdorr eduction programms even handle situations like this the way I wrote it or similar. So it's not totally unrealistic but very contorverse.

    Please concider what I told you before you go on. I don't want you to become angry or frustrated about this story! 

    Thanks for your reveiw!

    Excellent chapter. I love how you build up your storyline slowly and steadily instead of giving out too much information in the beginning. I also love how you portray the characters' development with an emphasis that they are still making progress even though they suffer drawbacks like any other person. Please keep up your superb work and thanks for sharing it.

    Oh, poor Harry. It must be hard to be someone who is so independent and then have to lean on someone else.

    I was really worried for Harry there, but he's in good hands.

    Great chappie as usual. Can't wait for the next.

    I've just found this story, and it's very different from anything I've read before, and is rather "grabbing". I'm very much looking forward to reading more, please continue soon.

    Now I just want to kick him.

    Liking Draco a lot more than whiny Harry right now, although that's part of each boy's healing, I know. Still, Harry's getting annoying. ;-)

    Harry's behavior is perfectly normal under the circumstances. He's embarrassed at what he perceived as a sign of that he is weak and angry about the possibility of being denied what he wants. He has every right to desire revenge against those that harmed him and his friends. I think that Light Arrow should have waited to talk to Harry about the school's rules when it comes to magical training.

    I don't agree with Light Arrow's assessment that Maya acted with maturity during this excursion. The way he put it made it sound like she did so during the entire trip when the truth is he only really showed any understanding or maturity during the final stretch of the return journey. A little too late in my mind. I'm also rather uncomfortable with Light Arrow being the one to go to Harry. It's clear that he doesn't really know how to treat or deal with the child.

    Author's Response:

    Yes, Harry will have his ups and downs and the feeling of hate will need some time to vanish. The decision about school isn't final like Light Arrow already said it and the concept of the camp is to let the kids heal in their own pace. That means sometimes you need to go different ways and why should Light Arrow deny Harry the school from the beginning? Harry would just feel more controled and out of any decision.

     Maya behaved very mature. She has learned a lot in the camp. She was angry with Light Arrow for making her go with the boys but in the end made the right decsion and help Draco and Harry. She put her own desires away. Light Arrow praised her for this. If you would ask Draco, he would also thank Maya for her help. Harry is irrational at the moment, so we don't need to ask him.

     The idea of sending Maya, Draco and Harry together was a mistake of Light Arrow, but I don't want to write Mary Sue characters and in social work you often make wrong decisions because there is no guide for total right and total wrong things. You often need to try to depend on your intuition. Light Arrow is a very experience and good man, but even he is no god. He is human and sometimes makes wrong decisions.

    I don't know why you think so poor about Light Arrow, but he knows what he does and of all people in the camp he is the best to go and speak with Harry right now. Harry has very serious problems at the moment and he needs help or otherwise won't make it out of it in one. Maybe you will think better of Light Arrow after the next chapter. I'm not sure, but I hope so.

     Thank you very much for your detailed review! They always give me much to thin about.
