Oh thank you Kristeh. You always leave such lovely reviews, and I'm honoured that you say all these nice things because you are a wonderful, very talented writer, and your opinion means a lot to me.

I think that Severus is very torn right now. He's trying to hold on to past grudges, but it's getting more difficult as he's forced to re-evaluate his opinions. Having seen first hand, that Harry is not the spoilt or arrogant child that he thought that he was, is making him very uncomfortable. Severus really doesn't know how to handle these feelings of concern or even pride, so he over-compensates by being too harsh at times.

Yeah, I just had to put Fred and George in there. I plan on having a lot of them in the story. And the Weasleys too. I just love them.

I'm actually getting excited myself at writing the scene where Sirius and Snape are thrown together. I can't wait, but I'll have to, and unfortunately, I hope my readers won't toast me for making them wait too!

Thanks Kristeh, and I'm just dying for the next chappie of Slave Child!!!
