    You did a wonderful job with the chapter! The letter coming to inform Severus of Harry's parentage added just a little touch of mystery. Of course Severus is shaken and unsure of how to feel, poor guy. He's had a lot on his plate already, and now a bomb just dropped on him, lol. But a good bomb, I'm sure!

    And I just wanted to tell Sev not to be stupid when Minerva came and offered to sit with Harry...if anyone short of Voldemort comes to give him a chance to catch up on his sleep, he'd darn well better take it, lol!

    He needs to follow the adage that parents of a newborn quickly learn: You sleep when they sleep, cause you might not get another chance.

    Great chapter again!

    Author's Response:

    I'm happy to hear you liked the letter. I wanted to do something different a bit different than I've read before. Sev is shaken. He's a bit confused because he doesn't know exactly what to think yet, but if there's one thing we know about Severus. He won't rest until he gets his answers. 

    Severus totally hasn't learned the whole sleep when they sleep thing yet. I think maintaining control and not relinquishing that even for a few hours is one way he's coping. Don't worry, Minerva will knock some sense into him. Thanks!

    Hadrian Pax Alexander Prince!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! *laughs insanely* Yay! I hoped that's what the letter would say!...well, actually, the content of the letter surprised me, but I loved how official it sounded! ^-^ And I adore Harry's name! ADORE it I say!!!

    But poor Sev! He's all tired and corn-fused and doesn't know what to do! But his anxiety makes for our amusement. ;3 he's a good sport about it though...but I'm sure if he found out he wouldn't be! lol

    "Mustering up courage, enough to confuse the Sorting Hat to put him into Gryffindor, Severus opened his eyes, unprepared for the results before him."- best line!!! I loved it! Very, very good! It just brightened something inside me for some odd reason or other. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird sometimes ^_^

    But oh, what now? What's everyone going to say NOW?!?! Oh! I can't wait! So I won't! Thanks for the candy, bye! *speeds off to next chappie*

    Author's Response:

    Yay, Ivy likes Harry's name. I wanted to pretty much follow the pattern of Sev's name in the Latin naming tradition because I picture the Prince family having a naming tradition like the other pureblood families. It also frustrated me in the series that Harry wasn't short for something. Harry is a good name for a child, but it doesn't sound very distinctive or respectable once he becomes an adult, know what I mean? 

    I'm glad you liked that line. That one gave me a bit of a trouble to figure out the phrasing to sound right, so I'm glad it came out well.

    Yes, I'm sure you were off to read the next chapter right away. ;)

    o.0 WOW! That was something I was not expecting to happen in this story! Surprises yay! Ooooh early Halloween treat! :( Good thing it's not real or I'd get more cavities XD
    Can't wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Ugh, cavities are the devil. I totally feel you on that. How about a pack of sugar-free gum instead?

    Yay, I caught you by surprise. Reading isn't nearly as fun when you can predict everything that's going to happen. Thanks!

    Wonderful chapter. I like that you highlight that something like this is not just hard for the patient, but tough on the carer too while Snape's reaction to the letter was absolutely spot on and very real. Thank you for including the last word of the chapter - so many authors would have left us hanging on for confirmation.

    Author's Response: I think including that last word is almost more suspenseful because now you're wondering what's going to happen next. It is really hard on the carer. Before my grandpa died, he was in the hospital for like 3 months and my grandma used to call me several times a week, and you could just hear how tired and on edge she was.

    :):) It is still better and better! Will Severus say Harry about this revelation? And... he can be a possible donor for Harry. I'm waiting for more

    Author's Response: I don't think Severus will tell Harry right away, though I think he'll end up telling Harry faster than he'd like after quite an interesting Order meeting...

    Oh HO! Snape's a Daddy!

    Author's Response: Yep, poor guy gets a sick teenager rather than a newborn, though Sev is pretty much getting as much sleep as if he did have a newborn.
