    I am so glad that Harry is willing to support Snape. Snape needs it, and I hope that Harry will do it despite respecting Snape's pride about unrequitedly loving a woman who died. Too bad Harry and Ron can't do quidditch! The spells done by the homeless wizards was creepy! I don't quite understand how they showed up in the castle.

    Author's Response: It was the Vanishing potion that brought the homeless wizards inside the castle (mentioned also in chapeter 3). How does it work? It's magic, I guess :-) Maybe it was a little far-fetched - sometimes you need to twist things a little and just hope that it will make sense...

    I liked the action scene, it must be so hard to write them! Thank you a great chapter

    Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad to hear it. You never really know if a chapter will work, until you get some feed-back.

    I thought the action scene was effective. The strange people just popping up and singing, followed by Malfoy choking was creepy. The box exploding and the cursed balls were scary sounding, too. I had wondered why Snape didn't help corral them but between being choked and taking care of injured students, he probably didn't have a chance.

    Author's Response: Thanks for giving feed-back. The chapter seems to have worked out okay then - I'm relieved to hear it.

    I'm happy to see an update to this most engaging story. Major points again for the very creative invention of new magic and spells. I love reading it each chapter. I could totally visualize the shield and turning it from protection to containment. Well done!

    I'll be honest, I'm mentally throwing my hands in the air and giving up on Snape. This is like an alcoholic that refuses help over an over again. Finally, people around them just have to step back and let them hit rock bottom. I'm this close to not caring about him. There is only so much drama one can take and defend.

    Plus, I don't actually think he's the best person for reconciliation. My impression is that he doesn't give a sh%t about it, only his own agenda. Actions speak louder than words and his actions...well, they don't really lend themselves to reconciliation do they? Did I miss something?

    Whew! You've done well in getting me emotionally engaged in the story and the characters, even if I want to give up on Snape ;-)

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you're engaged! I take on the challenge to make you change your mind about Snape before this story is over :-) I don't say that I'm sure I will succeed, but I will do my very best. I understand that I'm not doing so well until now, but just you wait and see...

    That said, I completely agree with you that with some people (those afflicted by addictions, or some personality disorders for example) you do best to just stay away from them. I believe that Harry is actually trying to do precisely that, but that he is thrown in Snape's way by different circumstances all the time. It is particularly difficult if the person you're dealing with and need to stay away from is, let's say, a parent, an employer, or, like in this case, a teacher and a headmaster, who you are dependant on. All you can do, then, is to find a way to manoeuvre around that person and minimise the damage they can cause you.
