    There's never a wrong time for a good Christmas chapter! It was nice that Severus managed to include Harry's father on the ornament, and that he had one memory of being part of a happy family as a child, even if Tobias' later behaviour was unforgiveable. I really like Draco here too.

    Author's Response: Hey rosina, thanks for the feedback! I'm pleased you liked Draco in this chapter, as I had a bit of fun writing him. ;)

    I loved this chapter - but then I've loved every one of them in this story! You've given me the gamut of emotions with the characters and the storyline, I feel as if I've just ridden a roller coaster! :P

    But I do have to wonder about how you wrote -
    >That and travelling by fireplace floo these days made me feel like I had the stomach flu< I thought it telling that you had italized the word stomach. Are you saying that the healer had the wrong diagnosis??? I really hope so...

    Hugs and Love,
    Vanime

    Author's Response: Glad you liked the chapter Vanime. I just italicized 'stomach' to create emphasis to point out the play on words with floo (as in travelling by floo powder) and flu ( as in the illness), seeing as floo and flu sound exactly the same when spoken. Severus feels ill from travelling by floo powder because he has been dizzy from the lack of oxygen his lungs have been able to absorb (a side effect of a lung disease such as Lethifold Syndrome). Therefore, he feels dizzy before he even steps into the floo network. The floo network makes people dizzy as well, so him being dizzy already makes him feel even more naseous . So no, the Healers did not get the wrong diagnosis. Severus still has Lethifold Syndrome, and I was not hinting that they have misdiagnosed him. It was meant to be a joke. Hope that answers your question. :)

    That is a nice Christmas.

    I am hoping that Sev gets well, but shouldn't he be making plans for where the boys will live if he doesn't make it?

    Author's Response: He already did, back in chapter eight when he agreed for Sirius to take them in. Thanks for the review.

    This chapter made me feel melancholy for all its festive cheer. There's so much caring in the way Sev and the boys interact, and yet it seems likely that they'll never spend another Christmas together.

    I also liked the interlude with little Severus and his parents. They seem to genuinely care for him and one another, but there are hints that the issue of magic and Tobias' drinking will eventually drive them apart.

    Great chapter!BTW, I want to see Severus' baby picture, too :).

    Author's Response: Glad you liked it. Belive it or not, i tried to make thIS chapter nothing but cheer, but I just couldn't do it, you know? There's just too much going on for all of them not to have a little bit of darkness creeping up behind. So much in their pasts, and so much in looming off in the not too distant future. I'm relieved you liked the interlude with Severus' parents, as I wasn't really sure what people would think of it, or even how I thought about it. It just sort of crept from my head when I was writing this chapter, and even after about two months of debate on whether I should keep it I still was unsure when I posted this. So thank you for mentioning that. Thanks so much for the review, and, as a side note, I too want to see Severus' baby picture! But then again, I'm pretty sure Minerva would as well! ;)
