    A very sweet chapter. Harry is surrounded by love but unable to accept it. Very realistic considering what he's been through.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Kim. Yes, so true for those who have been emotionally wounded, people and animals alike. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, SHaria

    This continues to be a beautiful story. I love how you portrayed both Snape and Dumbledore.

    Author's Response: Thanks again. Yes, their discussion was something that, in my opinion, definately needed to take place. Glad you enjoyed it. SHaria

    I really love the Weasleys and you've made Arthur perfect! Ron, too. I'm so glad I found your story.

    Author's Response:

    You are so sweet to review. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

    I love Molly and Arthur and want to give them more of a presence in Harry's life (when possible). I'm glad you are enjoying the story, SHaria

    Excellent story. You have a strong understanding of human emotions and you're making Harry as realistic as he should have been in JKRs books. Very nice.

    Author's Response:

    Oh KimSpiritTalks, Thank you so much for your kind remarks. "strong understanding of emotions..."   I always just think of myself as overly sensitive and basically a big softy; I like your way of putting it much better.

    As for Harry in canon, thank goodness we have Jo and her genius and that she created this fabulous, intricate HP universe. But I do agree with the missed opportunity in developing Harry's insight on matters (and there was certainly plenty of subject matter to inspire reflection, yes?) hugs, SHaria

    Great chapter Sharia! This is really realistic. It's always bugged me that in the books and movies Harry recovers extremely way too easily! Great chapter and looking forward to more.

    Author's Response: I completely and totally agree with you; that's why I wrote this fic. Thanks for your review autumnamberleaves. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Chapter 5 should be posted this weekend. SHaria

    I'm so glad Harry is finally going to get help. His depression is such a classical case, and I can't wait to see who is counselor is and how he'll respond to the sessions.

    I'm curious to see what role Severus plays in this story, and I hope we see more of him soon. This is a great start. I really feel for Harry, and it reminds me of the times a friend was going through periods of depression.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts EllaEleniel. To be honest, I had a bout with depression years ago after a traumatic event, so I simply drew upon how I felt at the time and my therapy sessions (which was ... you guessed it- talking).

    Both Harry and Severus have been affected by emotional trauma, the difference is that Harry's loved ones took the bull by the horn (or should I say the lion by the tail) and got help for him, where as Severus never had this opportunity and became closed off and bitter (something had to make him that way). Harry will process through his depression much more quickly than Severus, but he'll get there also.

    Thanks again. Hugs, SHaria

    I'm really loving this story! You have great insight into the characters' emotions and thoughts. I especially enjoyed this chapter and how Severus has had an epiphany. The last scene with Harry holding onto Severus' fingers and Severus sitting by his bedside is just beautiful.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much Kristeh. I was actually a late comer to the HP books and as someone pressed for time, I listened to them (rather than read) while commuting. I must have listened to each book at least four times. I can just hear all the character's voices in my head as I write (Jim Dale is soooo great). I'll sit real quite and think: now, how would Dumbledore say this or what would Severus's take be on this ...

    Someday, maybe when I retire, I would very much like to sit down and visually read the books. Another sense ... right?

    Thanks again. Hugs, SHaria

    I'm loving this story! Update soon please :)

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like ... make that 'love' it. Since I'm new to P and S, everything has to be approved before it can be posted. Chapter 4 should be out by Friday, I should think. hugs, SHaria

    As I have been following this story on the other site, I will be interested to see how the two diverge, as I know where "part two" of the original story goes, there will have to be some serious differences to make this a parent/child relationship.

    I am amazigly currious--and looking forward to it. You are an excellent writer and I look forward to the future of this version of your story.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your kind words V. I honestly believe that Eclipse (and TC) could go both ways. Thanks for reading and for your review! SHaria

    I am so enjoying this story. This last chapter, the last paragraphs had me in tears. Two hurt and broken young men, who, if only given the chance can heal each other. Harry has a forgiving nature, if he truly believes that Severus really has changed toward him, all will be forgiven with time. Forgiven, yes, forgotten, never. Thank you for the update. I look forward to your next.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review alifromnm. Yes, there are some sad times in this story which also leaves me in tears, but there are also light moments and happy times. I love Harry, he's my hero. Sev is a good guy and a fascinating character. Don't worry, they'll work this all out. Just hang in there. Take care, SHaria
