O.o Oh my. I really liked this chapter. The unbreakable vow was interesting, not the usual take that's for sure. I liked it. And the dispute in the library was intriguing, not to mention Hermione getting answers from a very unlikely source. I truly wonder where this is leading, as it goes, mysteries are popping up faster then they can be solved. This is a fantastic piece of work.
I found it a bit surprising how Harry messed up in the message he sent as S.J.E after being so careful. He calls himself a brother...then claims to have thought himself an orphan. I'm very interested to see how Snape will react to that.
We haven't seen much of Toby lately. I was a bit confused though, since in the last chapter Harry apparently spent so little time with him, and now it seems that he is spending more time with him then usual. Is he trying to make it up to him perhaps?
It seems that Remus didn't do much to allay Harry's fears. He's still suspicious I suppose. I wonder why he left it alone, only to end up writing Snape about a paternity potion.
Then there's the issue with Hermionie and Ron. They seem to be growing apart. I wonder how that will Play out. In any case great story and great chapter I LOVE it, and I hope you update soon. ^_^.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review, it is ones like yours in which provide me with the greatest of motivations, in addition to the others. Toby comes and goes as Harry's priorities change frequently, which is why sometimes he barely sees the boy at all and yet he does try, so whenever he gets the chance, Harry does spent time with the boy. He tries, but Harry is only a sixteen year old and while he thinks the world of Toby, he's noreally prepared for such an additional responsibility. Harry decided Remus was right, and yet since he doesn't know exactly what Sirius said, he's being paranoid and can't push his curiosity. Also, it's not for a parent, he's actually trying to figure out if he has any other family besides the Dursleys. And yes, he is becoming rather distant from his usual pair of friends, but I won't say much on that right now.
Thanks again, and I will be updating the next chapter in a moment.
