    Okay, the quill and parchment was HILARIOUS!! Sev's thoughts were HILARIOUS!! Sev's imagination was ADORABLE!! Sev eating was CUTE!! And just about everything in this chapter was AMAZING!!!! Oh, it was so good! The line about the "bitch gossiper" was soooo funny! There were so many times when I just burst out laughing! (maybe because it's around 2:30 in the morning here?) Oh well! ^-^ I'm off to the next chappie!!

    Awww!!!!
    You're SO MEAN!! Telling me about future chaps without even telling me about them! I'm pouting, by the way!

    Moving on, I just went, (I tend to be a perfectionist and want to acknowledge every part of everything) so I went back becuase I wanted to see just from what point Harry and Sev were standing and towards what part of the place "Mr. Parchment and Mrs. Quil" flew to, and I found, to my great surprise, a doodle about those two! I think I squeeked in delight...lol.
    I'm so happy you'll be doing drawings about this story!!!! Your doodle of the pair above mentioned is really good. I actually laughed when i saw it...after the so un-Snape like squeel. lol!

    I'm glad you like my reviews. Yes, I enjoy your chapters. And thanks for giving me the hint that Teddy and Sev will become friends! XD

    About the Ginny and Harry subject, I think you got it! I've never actually written a story with this two...or on this phantom, but I do get frustrated when they come up with this too. Most people over do it! I do think Ginny would be one to put her foot down from time to time, but lets admit it too, Harry would so put his foot down too. So, as you say it and the way i see it too, they have a very open relationship. I do think that one of the main points of this story would be kind of, family life between Harry, Ginny and Sev. I don't know if I'm wrong, but that's what I think...specially wiht you talking about the vital elements. And you're already writing the climax?! Well, I'm excited! Just a question. How many chapters for this story have you already written? And how many chaps will this story have? Ok...that's two questions...lol.

    "Here, There Be Dragons". Hmm...either, someone's breathing fire...or Draco's involved in this. Ok...I go for option number one!

    About the connection thing, I do think it is becuase of other PCs. Though I live at home, each one has their own computer, and sometimes we're all working on it at the same time with only one network, connection, or whichever it is! Sorry, I'm on my way to becoming an English Grammar teacher...so, technology is so not my thing! I do know about the loading bar, and that's what I, later during the day, came to think about the 'popping up' thing. It had not totally loaded, though the bar had already disappeared. lol! I'm just happy I found a way to read the 'missing' chapters in this and other stories. This IS the only page with whcih that happenes. So, *shrugs*

    Ok, now. Keep on writing! Hurry up with the next chap, and PLEASE, UP DATE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm dying to know what happens next! Really, you have me addicted to this story. I'm not even paying so much attention to others. It's like, Serendipity (which, by the way, what the heck does it mean?!) updated. Serendipity didn't update. New Chap! Yeay! No...no chap yet...I'm calling to it! I'm kind of like Sev wiht the mirror. Must read next chap....must read next chap, must read next chap, must read next chap...and so, on and on goes the mantra!

    So, Sev is still not 'attached' to Harry. Well, too attached, anyway. Hmm...so, I WAS right. Harry just got a son! And subsequentally, Ginny did too. I am looking forward to that friendship between Teddy and Sev. Though, if I'm not mistaken, Teddy is now about three months old. So...he won't do much right now. THough i still keep in mind that it will be interesting when Sev meets Teddy. Will it at least pick the 38 year old curiosity?

    Well, till next chap, see ya! Hey...by the way, I don't tend to review to stories, just if they really get my interest and they are REALLY good. So? Do I get another chap????

    See ya!!

    neural pathways
    That's your hint. I did my homework! lol
    Anyway, I now understand a bit more, and it's so good Sev will keep Snape's memories.

    This chapter was full of 'aww's. Though, the part of the quill and parchment kept me giggling, chuckling and then outright laughing by the end.

    The fact that you did research and planed out this story is an indicator that I will like this story...more than I had thought at first, maybe.

    The mirror part, that was another funny moment. He just HAD to put it in his mouth. He just had to! And taking it out when Harry was looking, *snort*.

    It is kind of funny, though, how Snape's mind still thinks of Harry as a boy. Totally normal, but yet strange when you come to think Snape is now, by all means, a five month old baby.

    He is so giving in to his urges. And i think this has to do with the little hint we've been talking about! I did have to google what neural pathaways means. By all means, I'm far from a scientific and English IS my second language. Yet, I'm happy! I can understand 'idiot-talk' too! Well....after I read the phrase a couple of times. Yet...I'm far from an idiot, see here! XD

    By the way, Sev's bathtime playtime was in between, adorable and hilarious!
    "...flesh-eating foam that fell in the water from somewhere above." That was priceless! And rescuing the "...red-haired damsel in distress from Davy Jones’ locker..." My God, I so cracked at that one! Be careful, though, not to get Jack Sparrow mad at Sev for getting into his 'spotlight'...or stealing away Sev's red-haired damsel. Lol.

    Ginny. Oh, my! Ginny. I loved her part! I always, kind off, always find myself hating how others write her. They either make her a 'Oh, yes, Harry, whatever you say!' or a 'Do as I say, or it's the couch for you!'. YOU, on the other hand, made her an inbetween whcih so totally fits her! By the way, It was so funny Sev's reaction to Harry and Ginny kissing. It was such a kiddy reaction. Another kiddy reaction was him trying to get the adults' attention by banging his table.

    Baby sign talk is a great idea too! Specially the potty sign. I'm sure Sev will be thankful eventually.

    And lastly, Harry got himself a son. Yep. He's so in 'father' mood. And unknown to him, Sev is actually starting to feel like Harry's son, even if he won't accept that easily. The trust part of the chapter says that, specially the part about the 'protective instincts'. That said it all! At the same part, it is so nice that he trusts Ginny just becuase Harry trusts her...but he WON'T trust the dog, wolf, or any other!! Oh, no! lol

    I'm so looking forward to the next chapter. I do wonder how Baby Sev will react to Teddy. I mean, his adult self would, maybe, not hate the kid, but certainly not LIKE him either. As far as I see it, though, seeing the reaction Sev got just becuase Ginny and Harry were talking (the banging on the table) I have to wonder how will he react to Harry with another baby who is not him. I know you've already written the chap, yet I can only wonder. Besides, you clearly have thought abotu everything beforehand...so....hmmm?

    By the way, I do think it is the site that doesn't give me the whole paraghraps. I reread chapter two...ok, I reread the whole story, and none of the chapters where missing, and then I went back to chap two and again, part of another chapter was missing and when i clicked in it (don't know why i did that) the end of the chapter just popped up! Just wanted to tell you!

    Ok, now, please, post again SOON! C'mon, a chap a day is not enough! sniff!
    You're making me an addict to this story of yours...just so you know.

    Bye for now!!!

    Author's Response:

    LOL! Well...I certainly love your reviews just as much as it appears you love my chapters! :D I love long reviews. I makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside! :P Lol! Which is good, considering it's cold outside right now. But that's neither here nor there...

    ANYWAY! :P Thank you so much for your kind words. And you were indeed correct-- "neural pathways" was indeed the clue. It kind of stuck out of the paragraph like a sore thumb, I think. It was such an unusual phrase. Ha, ha! But correct you were, and I think you have a good idea now where Sev is heading. 

    By the way, I actually drew a rough sketch of "Mr. Parchment and Mrs. Quill" and uploaded it onto my website this morning. I forgot to mention that in the author's notes at the end. My mistake. But anyway, I tend to doodle when I don't want to pay attention in class, so anyone who's interested should check up on that site for any additional pictures or schematics if they want any. I think the most detailed drawing I made so far is for a chapter I have yet to upload, and it's for Harry's house in Godric's Hollow. I'll try my hand at actually drawing some scenes from the stories once I find a quick enough method for doing so. 

    But...yeah. Thanks for your opinion about Ginny. When you mentioned overdoing her yesterday, I got a bit self-conscious and started looking back at my chapters to see if I actually did any of that, and...I don't really think I did. It's actually a good thing that I have that in my mind now so I can watch how I write her. Because I certainly don't want her to end up in either of the extremes either. I've tried to portray her as the girl who keeps Harry grounded but let's him fly as much as he wants as well. You know what I mean? That's what I was aiming for with Ginny. She gives and she takes. She and Harry (the way I see it) have a very good, open relationship where they can talk about their problems (in their own way), and they work together to get over the hurdles in life. She's indulging, for sure, but she doesn't indulge TOO much. The same thing goes with Harry. That's what I was aiming for with the two of them. Because their relationship with each other and with Sev is going to become a very vital element to this story, especially when we come to a rather crucial part in the plot (which I have yet to write, but am hoping to be done with by the end of...this week, best case scenario).  The virtual climax of the story. 

    But enough of that for now! ;D Hehehehehe! My outline lists the tentative chapter title as "Here, There Be Dragons". Make of that what you will. Lol! :P 

    And finally, the two comments I really wanted to make: Firstly, I think I know what's wrong! I have the feeling it has to do with your internet connection. The page doesn't load completely sometimes (which is why when you click on it, the end magically pops up). You either have a slow internet connection (nothing to be ashamed of, I assure you), or a lot of people are using the same network as you are, therefore the bandwidth is close to its limit and your page loads slower (common in dorms, where all the college students use the same connection). Try checking out the green loading bar at the bottom of the page. If it's still there (and still green), that means your page is still loading. Hitting "refresh" could help it load faster in some cases. :) Hope that helps! 

    And Teddy. Ah, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. :-) Teddy will end up playing a crucial role in the evolution of Sev's and Remus' relationship. And Teddy will indeed end up playing a crucial role in the rest of Sev's life as well. But...alas, we're still at the beginning. They're friends. And just like friends tend to do, there will be ups and there will be downs. But the downs won't start until Sev grows so attached to Harry and Ginny, he starts getting possessive of them. Case in point, I'm about to start a chapter right now where Harry pays just a little TOO much attention to his godson and Sev...well, he doesn't really like that very much. Lol! But that's not til later. ;P

    Until next time! :D

    Goodnight!

    Lovely chapter! I love the Old Sev/Baby Sev thought patterns. They make me laugh.

    I was thinking that Harry might have nearly 3 years of terrible 2's to deal with--as I've always been told that the major problem is that a 2 year old Know what they want to "say" but doesn't have the skills to convey their ideas--causing large ammounts of frustration on everyone's part and thus-tantrums. The baby sign language is a great idea!

    Looking forward to that shopping trip (and Remus and Tonks and Teddy of course!)

    I'm loving this story so far, but since not everybody is familiar with the baby sign language I hope this can help

    I hope you don't mind I posted that in my review. It can be useful(in real life too)!
