Great angsty chapter. I hope Harry jumps in with both feet.

It's so unfair that dumbledore expects harry to just believe snape won't hurt him-- he's got like zero proof except that dumbledore thinks so. And harry blames dumbledore for sirius death too so he's got no reason to trust it. If I were him, I'd make snape take an unbreakable vow that if he ever intentionally harms harry mentally, physically, or psychologically whether through muggle or magical means, it'll have the same consequences as breaking an unbreakable vow (death). I mean I know snape won't hurt harry, but this harry has just lost sirius and is being beaten by the dursleys who dumbledore sent him to and who is being tormented by every vitriolic syllable that escapes snape's mouth. And this plan doesn't really do anything for harry except make him a stronger warrior for them to send into battle. Yet again they concern themselves with him as a pawn or their savior but not with harry potter, the human child they left with abusive muggles and never once checked on not even when he started school obviously malnourished. He has such little reason to care or fight for them, honestly, I can see him even now telling em both to sod off but I know he won't (there'd be no more story lol)

Very well written with lovely emotions thank you
Aww! Poor Harry! I thought his emotions in this were VERY believeable. I'm not sure I would have been as diplomatic with Snape or Dumbledore had I been Harry. But I actually feel sorry for Dumbledore being in the middle. At least he's sorry for what he's done, that's all I can say. and Harry and Snape's little fits...they were very good too!
A wonderful chapter Pandora! And sorry it took me so long to pick this back up. *blushes in shame* I had lots'o projects and then finals. But now I'm home for a month and I should be able to read and update more quickly again! XD I'll have to go read on now!
Author's Response: Yeah, Harry is trying to be brave. Aw, Dumbles is trying to get his two boys together!! He only wants them both to be happy. He is sorry for missing the abuse that Harry suffered at the hands of his relatives. Thanks for the encouragement Ivy and congratulations for finishing your fic. It was amazing, and I'm looking forward to a sequel.
Oh, you had to go and make me sad...:( That dream was really depressing. But, maybe the potion will have the desired effects after all. I guess we'll see...
-P.G.
Author's Response: Sorry, but on a brighter note...I've been giving out free boxes of tissues!! Don't fear PG, poor Harry will soon have everything he ever wanted. While he can't bring back Sirius, he'll finally have the father figure he deserves.
Poor, wretched Harry. I so feel for him. *sob* I hope Snape comes around soon and starts treating Harry better.
Author's Response: Yeah, poor Harry. Have faith. Snape is going to start seeing Harry very differently soon.
*hugs Harry again* I hope he makes the decision himself, not persuaded to make it by anyone else as it's a huge decision that he'll have to live with. Also, I hope Severus can start to show how he can act without hating Harry to give him a glimpse of what could be.
Author's Response: Harry needs lots of hugs right now, and I have a feeling that he's really going to need a lot of hugs in the future. It IS a bery big decision. Snape is going to need some major attitude adjustments here.
I loved the conversation between Harry and Dumbledore. Dumbledore obviously does care for Harry very much and I'm glad that he admitted that he was wrong to send Harry to the Dursleys and that he has no plans to send him back, whatever Harry decides.
The ending is so sad. I do hope for both Harry and Severus that they can learn to care for one another.
Author's Response: I think that Dumbledore never really realised how badly treated Harry was. He does really care for him, and I think that as half-baked as this plan of Dumbles is, that he really thinks that it will all come together for Harry and Snape, and they'll eventually learn to let their grudges go. Thanks Kristeh.
Awww, so sad! I have to go and get a tissue.
It was cute that Harry thought it was all a joke though, and even in the middle of his...rant-of-denial shall we call it(?), he corrects himself ("Snape and I- uh...Professor Snape")
Author's Response: Aw, better get a box!! There's more angst to come, before the story ends. Well, it is so out there, that Harry thought that it must be a joke!
