    I snickered at Sev's thoughts about stalking people and learning to hush them up. I really liked how both father and son longed to cling to the other

    Author's Response: Thanks. I thought it would be nice to show that. But it's also realistic if you think about it. You always want the things you can't have at the moment most, and in their case, it's a nice relationship. Thank ya for the review!

    At least Harry was able to get it out of his system!

    "There was a moment when Severus longed to forget himself, longed to grab his child and embrace him the way he knew the child so desperately needed to be. But there was a part of him that could not."
    T_T *cries* well at least Harry was able to do it. And Moody! Oh brother >_< now the trouble really begins.

    Don't worry, life is very inconvenient at time but it always makes it the more interesting?

    Author's Response: Ha! Thanks Fairner! My life is ALWAY interesting, both good and bad. Like now I've got like three projects to work on and my groups I'm in SUCK and won't help! Sorry bout the rant. Just needed to get it off my chest for a minute...So I'm glad you liked this chapter! Things are going to heat up now. And I'm really glad you liked that line. Sev's still getting use to the idea of being there for someone, so he sometimes doesn't know what to do. Thanks again for another awesome review!! XD

    Ah, you hint that Severus had been tortured in prison. I still think it was Moody - which is a big reason why he would object so strongly to his presence as a professor. Poor Severus certainly has his hands full this 1994-1995 schoolyear. Poor man.

    I love the way you have Harry always rationalizing his opinions on Severus. It's adorable. Loved this part, "...decided that the man was just stupid sometimes..." and "Probably one of his father's brilliant ideas..."

    Is that feminine statue anyone famous? That could be interesting.

    *Snort* The lavatory door was hilarious! I was on Harry's side there about not really knowing what was behind the door. Love your Draconian attitude! He's a vindictive little sucker isn't he! *laughs*

    I mention this often in reviews, but I find it lovely that you parallel what Harry and Severus are thinking/feeling. In this case so far with the hoping/wondering that Dumbledore will find out about their relationship. And I do like that Harry, despite being angry at his father, doesn't like looking like James.

    I think Severus is completely rational and justified in his paranoia of his living space and everything, but it almost makes it funny. I don't know why. "He prayed that the students would at least continue to respect him, even if he had betrayed the Dark Lord…or at least fear him, either way would be sufficient." He would think that. Liked the bedside promise. Hope Draco didn't wake up at that moment. That would spell danger with clear, bold letters!

    I think Harry needs to talk to his father about all of those questions bugging him. I love that Severus waited at the door for Harry to wake up! It was cute, but added to the tension in the Slytherin House. Aw, love the line about how Slytherin went better with his eyes. (That's adorable!) I'm glad that even though it started quite shakily, they somewhat made up and have an understanding. They needed that hug. Both of them did! I wonder how all of the Gryffindors will react now in classes to Harry's new sorting. I'm sure Ron will be a git (and so will Seamus, but he's always a git!), but hopefully Hermione and Neville will come around. Hope the Gryffindors aren't too mean to him. Moody's class should be fun...

    Typo ALerts: "...to walk the halls of Hogwarts like vampire they all..." Missing either "a/the" before the word vampire. "He had taken his happiness, he light, his only..." The second "he" should either be "the/his" in that sentence. "...the Death Eaters finding away to resurrect the Dark Lord..." Separate "away" into "a way." "There were wall hangs of the Slytherin crest..." Should be "hangings." I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure in this: "It would not due, after all, to one morning..." it needs to be "do." Same with a few sentences after this one. "...Severus immerged after a moment in his sparse office." Should be "emerged." "...before he harmed his magically core." Change to "magical." "Severus, for his part, had been waiting for his son to immerge from his dorm room..." Again, see the previous note on "emerge."

    Author's Response:

    Yay! I was waiting for your review! I always like hearing from you, Raven! Sev's going to be in for a VERY LONG school year in this. He's not going be be really happy, I'll just put it that way. And I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer to find out about his whole history with Moody...but I'm sure you'll think it's worth the wait. But Harry does try to justify Snape even though he doesn't always want to. He just doesn't quite know what to think about all of this just yet. He's even more scared because his plans (the ones he was nervous about before) have just all been turned upside down. And he and Severus both were taken for a loop. And I'm still glad you like the parallels between them. They are father and son after all, and there are just some thinking patterns that are the same...and you'll get to see a lot more parallel later on too. ^-^

    I'm glad you picked up on Harry's little snotty attitude here and there. I think I said this in another review, but I'm basing a lot of Draco and Harry's feelings off of myself and how I might react given my mood. I'm almost (almost ;D) ashamed to say that I'd probably act a little bit more like Draco in such a situation only with a bit more of Harry's cool. (But then Harry was still in some shock) But Draco didn't hear the promise...or did he? Either way, it's all going to start to get even more tense, especially when I throw in the Gryffindors next chappie. Just keep in mind that things always get worse before they get better. XD

    Thanks so much for the review Raven! And I still can't wait for your update! (Your last chappie was so good!)

    So. It was a teachers fault, was it? *pulls out a long twisted evil looking ruler* Do you have an address? I'll have a little... chat with them.. *chuckles darkly* You're lucky, I was going to ban gummy slugs since you seemed to like them so much, but I shall give you a full set of SpongeBob toys from Burger King instead. *points at you* Do not make me regret doing so.

    *bright cheery voice* Now for the review. ^_^ Great chapter! Loooved the warm fuzzy moment at the end. I was going to hit Sev if he hadn't hugged Harry. *takes a pic of them together and hides it for future blackmail* I love fluff. So fluffy! :3 I hope Draco and Harry come to some sort of understanding. He'll need every allie he can get. I hope Ron and Hermonie will still be his friends. Though I suspect rocky times ahead with Ron... so yeah.. I'll be waiting for that next chapter. *grins evily*

    Author's Response:

    O_O You would really take my gummy slugs away? But I'd suffer that if you'd get rid of my geography professor! She's evil!! Not cool Snape evil, but Umbridge evil! SMACK HER WITH THE RULER!!! SMACK HER I SAY!!!!...or a crowbar would work just as well *grins evilly while chuckling menacingly* But thanks for the toys!! Next chappies in production!!

    But I'm glad you liked this chapter in all of its fuzzy glory! (I'll buy a picture off you! lol) And Harry and Draco need to settle down a bit before anything too drastic changes with them. As for Ron and Hermione...well, you'll see next chappie. Thanks for another wonderful review, my dear, and I shall write as fast and as well as I can while dodging evil homework and tachers! XD Have some hot chocolate!!

    You have a talent for writing emotions! Well painted! From Harry's anger and frustration, to Sev's exhaustion and confusion (there when Harry was being cold) to the outpouring of anguish and fear at the end. Bravo.

    V.

    Author's Response: O_O *blushes* Thanks V! That means a lot to me! I'm glad that you liked it! ^-^ Care for some hot chocolate? :D

    Well done! Harry and Draco's interactions, 5totally beleivable. I know that Harry is hurt because of Severus and him changing houses and away from his friends but he will find out that he is still the same Harry no matter where he is. I think that Ron and Hermonie will see that as well and stand beside him.

    Now here is a question, I know in the books that Theodore Nott was good friends with Draco or Draco considered Theo an equal. I really don't remeber Theo becoming a DE/ I remeber him as the loner. Wouldn't he leave Harry alone since he wants to be left alone, or did I read that wrong?

    Author's Response:

    That's a good question. And truthfully, I had kinda forgotten about Nott, but Sev's not taking any chances with the other Slytherin students. I think you read right, but I'm taking a few minor liberties I think with his character. Severus knows he has some power and influence over Draco that he does not particularly have over the other students, so he doesn't trust any of the others. Being Draco's godfather, he believes that he has a better understanding of his godson and believes he can control Draco better than the others. Does that halfway explain your question? Do let me know next chapter if it doesn't.

    But thanks so much for the awesome review! As I mentioned in another review, I'm basing Draco and Harry's interaction off of how I feel when placed with people I don't like. If you can't be nice to someone, ignore them. That's what my daddy taught me! XD And I'm sure Narcissa would agree (somewhat) here. And Harry's in for a bit of a rough ride...well, they all are really, but hold on and things will come together better later on. Thanks again for the review!! Hot chocolate?? :D
