Another amazing chapter! I'm so happy I've found another decent story to read.
Although I love what you've done so far, I fear your Harry will start to act younger than he is. I've seen this happen in a great deal of fanfiction, especialy that involving Snape. Of course, it's understandable since he's now dealing with cancer ontop of Sirius' death. But, still, I often find myself wanting to scream at him "Suck it up, Harry! You're 15, not 5!" I hope that your Harry won't melt into a big puddle of goo or ends up completely dependent on Severus.
Still, I'm very excited to see how this unfolds!
Author's Response: Thank you for reading. I know exactly how you feel when you've found another story to read. I swear I'm out of completed ones that hold my interest. Then again it's half my fault for how fast I read. I once read the "A Year Like No Other" series plus story updates, and over 100 pages for school in a week and a half! I figured it out to be more than a million and a half words which if you consider an average novel contains around 100,000 words, that's over 15 novels. Oops. LoL.
I understand your concern. That bugs me too. I'm going to try my best to not let that happen. In chapter six that I'm currently about 4/5's of the way through writing, I've already started to give Harry choices which should be one way to prevent that because at 15 he should have an input on what happens to him. He's old enough to understand. So, hopefully I'll stay out of that pitfall once Harry really accepts what's happening to him and if I don't warn me before I'm in too deep. =)
