    Love it, as always. My only complaint is that I want more. ;) But since you pretty regularly update, I'll be satisfied with that. Thank you so much for sharing. It really is a lovely story.

    Author's Response: More? How about tonight? Thanks!

    I wonder how Severus will answer that last question? It's really sad that Harry finds it difficult to believe that he can be cared, not only for, but by someone. I hope that Severus will be able to find the right words to reassure Harry that he does want and care about him. He got the clothes and other items, because he wants him to have everything he deserves.

    Author's Response: I don't know if Severus will find the right words, but he figured something out. Thanks!

    Poor Harry.
    It's so hard for him to believe that he is important to others just as he is.

    Author's Response: With the way his relatives treated him, it was just ingrained into his brain that he's worthless. He can say he doesn't think he's worthless, but those words stay with him. It'll take some time before he truly believes otherwise. Thanks!

    Thank you for the update! Brilliant chapter as always, mean cliffy though. Love Hermione's scene and the conversation between Harry and McGonagall. I think he needs to talk through things with someone that knows and McGonagall is a good choice. She's not a bias friend.

    Harry's size doesn't seem about right. I'm size 12, that's not small but not large. I don't know about men's, but very skinny or underweight women sizes are 6 or 8. Not that it matters too much.

    I'm very curious as to how Severus is going to answer that. Update soon? *Offers muffins* Pretty please?

    Fabs

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! It was a mean cliffy, but what can you do? It happens sometimes. ;) You're right that a size 12 is a medium size for women. Harry's clothes though are from the boys department, not mens, which according to my UK research is by age, so generally a 16 year old boy wears a 16. You probably skipped right over the word when you read it or read it, but didn't process it. ;) 

    Is tonight quick enough to still get muffins?

    Wow, thanks for update...
    Do you know someone who has same problems like Harry and isn't insecure? I love the part with Harry's concern about morphine.
    Now I'm waiting for Severus answer.
    Hermione's mum was excelent especialy her comment about finishing summer homerwork :o)
    Nice long chapter

    PS: I'm red, how could i write 3th. English isn't my native language but this was... so idiotic

    Author's Response: You're very welcome! I don't know someone who has the same problems as Harry, but I have a few friends that as teens had more problems than Harry, if that's even possible. lol. I can see some shades of that in Harry, but Harry is his own character. Thanks!

    I loved the update! I cant wait to see what Severus' answer is to Harry's question. It will be nice for them to have another chat. I also really liked how you had Hermione enter the story again, Im wondering if her Ron and will be talking soon about his visit with Harry though. Anyway, great job!!

    Author's Response: Thanks! You'll have your answer soon. We won't see Ron or Hermione in the next chapter, but we'll hear from Ron. ;)

    *Throws ball of paper at you* I wanna know Sev's answer!!!!!!! I really like this chapter and although its horrble that Harry has cancer, I love that you seem to be using it, in some ways, to rid Harry of the bad memories and training that his "relatives" (I do use that terms as well as muggles, people, human beings, and the like very loosely with them) beat in to him. Can't wait to see what happens next hopefully an appearance of Sev's parents before Harry and Sev have a really big tiff. I hope that Harry and Sev have a bit of getting along before another fight. Lovely chapter thank you for such a tragicly wonderful story.

    Author's Response: *Throws ball back* You'll get to know his answer very soon! I'm so, so happy you picked up on the fact that while Harry's cancer is a major storyline, it's not the whole plot, but part of a bigger journey. Harry and Sev will be getting along for a bit, at least in the next chapter. Thanks!

    Oooh cliffy! I dont mind a good cliff when I trust that author will update soon enough hehe, I think you got Harry's size right too, age 16 can turn out to be pretty big and Harry was already so small :)

    Author's Response: Yay, I'm glad to hear I got Harry's size right. I know about American sizing, but the British kids sizing is kinda weird, well at least to me. The sizes over there seem to actually be made for younger teens, up to 16, where over here a boy is usually in the mens section around 13 or 14. Thanks!

    It sounds to me like Severus had about as much fun buying Harry's clothes and supplies, as Harry had in receiving them.

    It is too cute that Severus was lost in a sea of pens and pencils.

    I loved that little scene with Hermione too. Her mother was very wise in anticipating how Harry might feel, were Hermione start to spew out advice like she usually does, for his treatment; it would only make Harry feel even more abnormal.

    Great chappie, but Missy....these cliffies are getting to be a habit. Look!! Duck!! See that tomato coming your way? (just kidding)

    I forgive you for the cliffie, since you wrote such an awesome chapter as usual.

    I'll forgive you even more, if you update really quickly!! :)

    Sorry to hear about the oil in your area. What a disaster it is. Such a shame. I'm saying lots of prayers for all of you you have to endure this hardship.

    Author's Response:

    Is tonight quick enough? I've been really, really busy with work and getting ready to leave for London, but the next chapter should be up tonight. 

    Yeah, Sev was a little lost in the sea of pens and pencils. Men in general aren't shoppers and to them a pen is a pen. lol. I'm glad you liked that scene with Hermione. Even though we hear a bit about her parents, you almost have to create complete characters. 

    The next chapter doesn't have a cliffie at the end. Does that count? ;) Thanks!
