    Noooo I can't believe they took harry's eyes. Besides it's still not going to work. What happens when tevin doesn't call her mama anyway? I mean he didn't put her on the drawing and if you say mama to him he'll be looking for someone with red hair and green eyes like lily

    I'm truly enjoying this story, so don't take this as a flame or anything. I find it extremely difficult to believe a 17-month-old child can draw even stick figures and WRITE, much less that the adults in his life wouldn't be exclaiming about what a prodigy he is for being able to do so...

    Author's Response: Well, I sort of took some liberties with the cognitive development of children in the magical world.  I am well aware of the development of a child's mental, and physical development - especially in early childhood - but the story needed to move.  So I made the magical children a little quicker to develop.  Thank you for reviewing.  (And fear not, I do not consider what you said a flame...I considered it more like a question of continuity.  So, I decided to answer it that way.)  Thanks for reviewing.  ~ RK

    Aww! Poor Sev! The guy just can't catch a break can he? But is it wrong of me to say that his misery serves as beautiful literature? No more green eyes though, how sad! But Remus was right, Dumbles would have noticed that.

    Tbe part with Figg I liked. Especially the line where you compared Snape to the crow. That was good! I liked that a lot! I thought Flitwick being all happy and sociable was funny for some reason.

    This was very good, and I enjoyed it bunches!! I'll try and read again tomorrow!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, Ivy-Green!  Hopefully, Severus will get a bit of a break soon, but I do agree that trials for a character does make good literature.  Remus serves as the voice of reason for a good chunk of this story, actually, and he'll continue to be so for a long while.  Glad you liked Snape the Crow.  And I always thought that Flitwick would be a rather excitable half-goblin with a happy temperament.  Glad you are still reading.  It's lovely to hear from you again.  Thank you!

    Tevin is really smart if he can do letters already as well as arrows

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review!  I feel that with stories containing magic, child development (whether magical talent or not) can develop much faster than in other non-magic stories.  If he wasn't able to write letters by this point in the story it would take forever to get to where I am now in the plot.  So, in this little Hogwartian world, Wizarding children (if they are smart enough...since we all know someone like Crabbe & Goyle probably weren't able to read or write until they were quite a bit older...I mean...look at them!)  can develop quicker than Muggle children.  Hope you keep reading!

    Oh my! How heart breaking. It's too bad that they couldn't have found a spell that was only temporary and Sev could change back at any time. :(

    I want to just hug Severus.

    Grat chappie.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Glad you liked the chapter.  I want to hug Severus too.  But his eyes being changed needed to happen, even though it pained him to do it.  Thanks for still reading and leaving a review!  I get very excited when people leave them!  Things start moving a little quicker next chapter, and three new characters are on their way into the story...(Personally, I am very excited to write that chapter!)

    Basically, Tevin is still a toddler, right? It's a bit much to think he can write letters, much less make words or even stick figures.

    Author's Response:

    Point taken to that, however, my view with any story involving magic is this: Since it's magic we're dealing with you are free to bend reality a little bit, which includes childhood development.  Therefore, in my twisted view, wizarding children develop the skills that Muggle children would but at a bit of a faster pace.  Thanks for reviewing and reading!

    :) I noticed that Tevin walked in the last chapter, wasn't sure if Sev noticed lol. But that was absolutely endearing the picture :D but so sad at the end! Hopefully all this will work out fine if not I think Sev's gonna become a veggie/ghost? >_>.

    Another good thing is that Tevin didn't scream with Ophelia, trusting his daddy's word. I kinda felt sorry for Ms. Figg but then it was somewhat necessary wasn't it? Family has to know of ones other family? That sounds weird, well okay I've got to go get ready for school :/ bleh so lazy today. lol!

    Author's Response: Did he?  I was sure he crawled...I'll have to check that again.   Yes, everyone is nervous what would happen to Severus if this does not work.  Poor man.  Yes, what happened with Ms. Figg was necessary.  We'll see her again at some point.  Thanks for reading and reviewing!  I'm so happy when you review!  Makes me so happy!  Thanks!

    AbFab!!!!!! I loved it. I wonder how their plan will work out!! Congrats on another great chapter!

    Author's Response: Next chapter you will see how the plan works (or not)!  It is a crazy chapter to write, but I'm moving right along with it.  Thank you for the compliments!  So glad you are still reading and liking it!  Not to mention, thanks for reviewing!  I get so happy!  They make my day!

    That ending line really gets to me. I like that your story is unique in that he doesn't have Lily's eyes, but the fact that Severus wanted him to really upsets me. The spell you chose for it was perfect "You wear the eyes of your father"-very nice.

    Sad, but not every chapter can be happy. Nice work!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much!  Things might lose its gloom soon, but no promises there.  *evil grin*  I'm so excited you liked the spell!  (That was a pain trying to think of good wording for that, let me tell you!)  I thought that Severus would want to hold onto anything of Lily, and since Harry's eyes are so important to him in canon (not to mention so recognizable to pretty much everyone) I figured that he would want his son to keep her eyes.  But once again, Remus has to be the voice of reason, which he will continue to do.  He'll have a happy carefree moment soon, actually.  Thanks for the review!  So excited and happy you are still reading!
