Ivy, I'm happy you like Sev's hippy parents. I messed up the parallel that's in canon between Harry and Sev's storylines, so I decided to play a bit. ;) We'll see Sev's sister eventually. She won't play a big part at all, but I have an idea or two that include her in them. 

I've threatened to shave my hair off, too, multiple times. I have super, super thick, curly hair and right now it's down to my waist. People love my hair and I hate it. lol. Pretty much humidity plus my hair equals tons of frizz. I always tell people they can have a patch of my hair from somewhere in the middle of my head and I'd bet you'd never know it was missing. lol. It's a big deal for teenagers to lose their hair. Even though Harry is a boy, he's still a self-conscious teenager.

Harry is totally terrified and completely overwhelmed. He's taking on so much right now, and it's only a matter of time before he cracks.

Things will start to get really angsty from here, Ivy. There's a few lighter chapters and moments, but you'll start to really feel for Harry, so keep those Kleenex handy.

Yay, another hug! Thanks! I could use it going into working on the next chapter. I hate super busy days so I totally feel for you.  

Thanks. I decided to change up Sev's background well one reason you'll see later, but I already messed up the parallel storyline Rowling had going with Harry and Sev, so I thought why not? Someone besides the Weasleys needed parents that are alive and not evil. 

Harry is fortunate that Severus is there to help him because the chemo isn't going to be nice to Harry.
