I really like how much background there is of Snape having been a slave first. All the ins and outs I bet he knows. Harry really couldn't pick a better guide, I bet. Well, I guess the annoyance of the bond on Snape's side was telling him to get Harry! I wonder what he'll do with all the marks on Harry, and I wonder what getting the brand is like. I absolutely adore this story premise and you are doing a fantastic job with all of the character emotions, exploration of past, everyone being in character, and the interesting, unusual plot. I can't wait to read more. Please update when you can!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like the story! Yeah, the background is the only reason Snape is being decent at all. Just as a warning, though, the bond will force Snape's hand occationally, literally, and while he wants to be decent, he may do some cruel things. Oh, yes, the bond was definitely telling him to get Harry. Not because of how the Dursleys were treating him, but because Snape didn't have his slave helping him with all the work he was doing. Snape will probably make some comment about Harry's scars, maybe even have a conversation about it, but Snape will still brand him to save him the bowing and scraping. Well, I can't say what getting a brand feels like since I don't have one, but brands are usually made with red hot iron. I have burned myself on kitchen things, so I suppose imagine that a thousand times worse, especially when it has to stay there for a few seconds.
Awww, poor Harry! What a mess he has found himself in. I have to say that I find your Harry wonderfully in character - very much more so than we normally see. Well done! I am so glad that Snape is being decent about all of this! Thanks so much for the update! Great story so far!

Nice beginning. I wonder where you will take this.
Do you intend to make the bond permanent? I mean, if Harry saved Snapes live in return and therefore would settle a "normal" life debt will the bond break? Or if he came to genuinely like Snape would that dissolve the bond?
Author's Response: Snape believes it will only dissolve upon the death of one of them. What actually happens, well, that will get sorted out over the course of the story. *cheeky grin* Good thoughts, though!

Harry seems to be accepting this too easily...
Author's Response: He's still in shock is all. His first reaction was to think it was a joke, then once they got past that, he's just like, "Wha...?" He accepted the idea that he was a wizard pretty easily too.
Going good, btw I have favourited this story, but thanks for the reminder anyway. I loved the ending of this chapter, very good job on that. I wonder when harry will make the connection that snape was a slave himself, I like that twist by the way. especially because snape wears high collars; )

Author's Response: Oh my gosh, I never even thought about Snape's high collars!! You're right! I tend to let the stories go where they want to go, but I was envisioning that Harry will eventually see Severus' brand and put it together. I can't see Snape telling Harry at this point.
