    I'm liking and hating this story at the same time. I cannot wrack my brain enough to find the reason why Snape (both of them) would be so, so cruel to Harry. I guess I'm hooked because I want the answers so bad. Good job. ;)

    Sooooo...um...is there any chance we'll get to see Snape...er...Severus weigh in? I'm very, very curious to know what sort of conversations he and Kenai truly have.

    One issue I notice with your stories, is that the moment Snape is proven wrong about Harry, he becomes so much nicer to him that he no longer seems like Snape and Harry just seems to accept it. It's as if you skip a step in their reconciliation in that Snape seems too loving at first, his hate is such a habit by now that he should have some issues acting differently. Harry never seems resentful or angry, just accepting, or if he is he gets over it too fast. It's as if you're skipping over the most interesting part in their character development, which is the space in between their old relationship and reconciliation. This saddens me because otherwise I really enjoy your stories. However, this one seems to be better in that respect as far as I've seen with Kenai. So I hope that is something that changes with this story.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your insight.  It is always good to get insight from readers.  As a writer it is sometimes hard to imagine just how someone should be feeling as you are writing a story, so having outside help is nice.  Thank you in that respect.  I wanted to say though that sometimes, I think it is right that they would skip that step because I would imagine if I suddenly found out I had a child, I would not want to continue hating said child, and the same if I found out I had a parent.  In some of my stories Snape's realization comes earlier and the hate continues until some pivitol moment when he decides he can no longer go on with the hate.  I have also met some people in my life that have just been very accepting of things as they come along, as well as fast to forgive and forget.  I'm sorry that you feel some of my stories move too fast.  As for this story, I will say that at this moment, Snape's feelings are not all that they seem to be to Harry (although we haven't been hearing from Severus just yet).  Harry perceives Severus not to care at all at this point, but we can't know for sure until we hear from him.  So, if there is a pivitol point in this story where things change, I hope you will look at what comes after to see any awkwardness that there might be between them, although the hate will probably disappear.

    Thanks again for your review.

    Poor Harry! When's he gonna catch a break? Will Snape always hate him?

    This story is very clever, and Kenai is bad ass even if he can be a dick. He reminds me of Damon from the Vampire Diaries.

    Great story!

    Author's Response: Yeah, Kenai is a little hard to write, because I want him to be a jerk but also have redeeming qualities for later in the story.  And as for Severus hating him, you'll have to read on to find out!  Lol, thanks for the review!

    i like it! very angsty, but you manage to insert some lightness and humor with harry's interactions with his friends and ginny. i'd love to see a confrontation between harry and snape at some point or a moment when harry really obviously needs snape and snape is there but purposefully turns his back on him. keep it up! i always love reading your stuff.

    Haha, Harry wanting to appear manly around Ginny was hilarious and adorable too. I could totally see him doing that.

    Draco is really making me laugh now too, cause it seems like he's always popping up from behind suits of armour and statues. Hee, hee.

    So Harry is trying to protect his brother from detention? I don't know why... Is it to try and get in good with his dad?

    Kenai is a jerk, but I supposed he learned from the best, and that would be Snape. Does it bother him that Harry is named after Severus?

    I'm really interested in hearing more about their pasts and how things got to this point.

    Looking forward to the next chapter. :-)

    Author's Response:

    No, I think for the most part Harry is done trying to get in good with his dad, but he himself is not always sure of his motives at this point when it comes to his family, regardless of how they act towards him.  Remember, when Harry was younger he tried to get in good with them and was shot down, so he quit doing those sort of things with those motives.

     

    Thanks for your review.

    I don't mind you starting new stories when you have what seems to be a brand new plot in the fanfic realm!

    I bet they use the blockquote tag for text in the box.

    Ouch, poor, poor, Harry. I'm not sure how I feel worse for him. Because of his injuries or because the scene with Snape and the duffel bag. That was especially sad.

    I laughed though when he got the new jersey. I would have loved to see Snape's face then!

    Good chapter. :-)

    Maybe I just missed something, but Harry kinda lost me when he started talking about being Kenai's brother in class. I didn't really understand why he did that. Seemed kind of pointless and stupid, on his part.

    Hermione I think you write well, and it's interesting to see this nice Draco. I liked that Harry went to the the hospital wing instead of Potions, and that Madame Pomfrey seemed to understand.

    Poor kid.

    Next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    It was pretty pointless on his part to try to protect him at all, but he did it regardless (he's sort of foolhardy sometimes), and once he was into it, he felt he might as well inform this new teacher that they were related (after all, everyone else knows).  It's a touchy subject for Harry, as we'll come to find, to not be acknowledged by people as part of the Snape family.

     

    Thanks for the review.
