    I find it a bit magical that Snape is the one playing pranks and executing mischief in this story. :P Professor, indeed. It amuses me greatly.

    Author's Response: I had way to much fun with that. I seem to recall giggling with glee on numerous occasions writing this one! Thanks for the feedback, Dream! So happy I could amuse you for a time. :D

    "You look like you could use a biscuit." In a nutshell! I really liked the interaction between Severus & Daisy, and her story felt so sad. If only we could live our own lives in peace instead of allowing bad people to get under our skin. I dieted for years trying to please OTHER people and never got thin; destroyed my metabolism and ended up WAY worse off than if I'd never dieted at all... I hope Daisy can learn to live for herself instead of letting bullies dictate her life. The fact that they suddenly treated her better when she got too thin just shows how shallow and worthless they are. Life's too short to waste it trying to impress shallow people, whether it has to do with body image, status symbols, or whatever. I'm rooting for Daisy!

    Author's Response: Hey shadow! Awesome to hear from you, and terribly sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you (I think this one got missed somewhere as I was sifting ... hmm). Wow, it sounds like you've been through your fair share of battles too. You make very good points when it comes to Daisy's collegues. It makes me sad that there are so many people out there like them, that act so selfishly. I hope that you have been able to recover from your battles, and that you have, or will find a space where you are happy with who you are. I for one can say that your insight and feedback has helped me improve my writing, and I really do love hearing the little snippets you share such as these! Cheers, Shadow, and hope you're having a good year.

    I can't wait for the next chapter! Usually I really don't care much for OCs, but Daisy is really cool, though what is it with Sev and becoming friends with girls that have the names of flowers? ;)

    Great story!

    Author's Response: Oh my goodness, Kyoko ... I totally didn't clue into the fact that Daisy and Lily both have flower names! Like, duh ... Haha, I need to get more sleep. It's great to hear you are enjoying Daisy's character. It's always tough making people like an OC, so it means a lot when people say they enjoy them. Thanks for the review!

    I've been thinking there was absolutely no way Snape would get get healthy enough to return to Hogwarts after the summer, especially not in a teaching capacity, but there is a faint glimmer of hope. Not only has he helped Harry, he's now sharing issues with Daisy. Tiny steps for them both, but in the right direction. Hope they can continue to help each other.

    Author's Response: Great to hear from you rosina! Always good to hear your thoughts on the story.

    Thanks for another great chapter! Speaking as someone with personal experience with eating disorders, I feel that you've portrayed the concept quite accurately, and respectfully as well. Often, people tend to oversimplify mental health issues, and I appreciate the fact that you did not.

    Author's Response: Hey Abie! Oh, I am so glad you feel that I did the concept justice - I have been lucky not to have suffered from an eating disorder, but have had very close friends who have. It's such a multi-faceted issue, and isn't just a fear of getting "fat"! So I am glad that you felt that portion was fairy accurate/respectful. Thanks so much for your feedback, Abie. It's always helpful to hear from people who have personal experience on the matter. Cheers!

    I really love you characterize Severus in here. He's, well, human, and really endearingly clumsy and adorable in his own way.

    And I love Daisy - she's just so sweet and her story is so sad. It's terrible that anyone has to go through that.

    The only qualm I have, to be honest, is if they get in a romantic relationship. I think it's because I have trouble liking OCs in general, and even less so if they are shipped with a canon character because they tend to take up all the spotlight if you aren't careful.

    I mean, if you want to do it go for the ship, I guess. I'm not going to argue. Just putting my opinion out there. :)

    Author's Response: Hey Artizay! Thanks for your opinion on OCs. Yes, the only purpose they seem to serve, at least on this site, is to fall in love, haha. Personally, I think most people really don't give a darn about OCs, so I try not to do nothing but tell the OC's story. So hopefully you don't have to worry about that. I'm glad you are enjoying the story, and Severus' characterization.
