I always thought it was horrifying, what Harry did to Snape in OotP.  I can imagine Snape felt quite violated, of course we know why now, but really, it was almost as if Harry did a mental rape of Snape.  It didn't help that Dumbledore encouraged Harry to peek and prod into things he had no business being in, but still...

I'm glad the transition to understanding between these two wasn't too abrupt.  They still have some issues, and probably always will, but at least they are able to talk about their problems rather than increase their hostility.

Thanks for the kind words.  I am planning on having a new chapter out next week.

I didn't receive a notice for this so you either just posted it, and Im psychic, or my computer is mess up. I will go with A.

I'm glad you enjoyed the chatper.  It's reviews like yours that make me want to write. I've been going through some horrendous writer's block, and now I feel inspired again.

I am actually a Harry/Ginny shipper. I have been since she had a crush on him in the first book.  Ron and Hermione I can play around with, but Harry and Ginny will always be my first choice. That being said, the non-cannon HGHP ship was requested, and I am finding it fun to write.  Their relationship will go much slower than Ron's and Hannah's simply because they are cut off from the rest of the world.

I couldn't imagine how difficult Snape's life was in the last year.  It broke my heart that he died thinking he would go to his grave unloved and unappreciated.  I had to give him at least Poppy.  She's the most logcal choice because she can help heal him after his meetings.

I have a serious crush on Jason Isaacs therefore, I can't leave LUcius as an unredeemed jerk.  Narcissa, I can live with out. but that's only because she's not played by Jason Isaacs.  LOL.  I also hated that Draco was left unredeemed in cannon.  I hated that the years of discord between him and Harry was just left by the way side. There was no resolution there, and I can't imagine Harry , as stubborn as he is, would let Draco be after the war.  

Thanks for the review. I'm  going to finish my bowl of strawberries and get right to work on the rest of the new chapter.

thanks for the review.  I've always thought that Poppy and Snape have a special relationship, and I really wanted to give him an ally at the school who knows what's actually going on. 

 Lucius is a special case. I think even in cannon that he realised how wrong he had been about the whole Voldemort thing.  I don't know that he ever changed his views on Muggleborns, but I do believe he found that he had gone about the business of protecting his interests in the wrong way.

You'll have to see about Ron and Hermione and of course, Ginny and Harry.

No worries about the timing of the review.  I'm just glad you liked the chapter.

Snape has never been in a good position.  He's always been the outcast, and the used person.  Things will be getting hairy for them all soon.  I hope you like what's coming.

The battle scene was really needed to introduce the rebels.  We'll be seeing more of them soon. I never bought that the wizarding world just caved to Voldemort without a hitch.  There had to be more of a reistance than that lame radio show.

Poor Narcissa.  I felt for her from HBP on.  She is just trying to keep her family alive.  That showed when she lied to Voldemort. You know she didn't do that without  alrady having this conversation with Lucius.  They may have acted too slowly, but the did finally act in cannon.

Thanks for the review.
