    Poor Harry, and Snape as well. Slavery is a bond between both master and slave, and, as such, both of them are stuck with each other for life. I hope that things will start to look up for both of them, and that Snape will address some of the issues that have been brought up, circumspectly, since he's removed Harry from his relatives.

    Looking forward to reading more.

    Author's Response: Well, Snape already realizes he'll have a hard time telling Harry that his relatives were wrong to beat him when he's going to have to turn around and beat Harry himself.  Anyway, they'll get some issues straightened out eventually.

    So good! I'm loving this story! Oh, please update soon... I know real life is always in the way but I hope by telling you how much I loved this chapter and how I am dying for the next bit, it will give you warm fuzzies and encourage and motivate you to write the next chapter (or chapters!) quickly. But thats just me being annoying. But I loved this chapter! Please update soon!

    Author's Response: I love warm and fuzzies, thank you!  ^_^

    Gosh, that's so sad. This chapter practically bleeds hopelessness and that's a compliment to your writing.

    I have some questions again though and hope I am not a bother. Harry can't have a snack in between without approval, let's say an apple or piece of chocolat? What about drinking water on a hot day?
    What if Snapes dozes off during the the day and Harry is not leashed; does that force a beating? Can Snape decide to magically prevent Harry from attacking him and thus forgo the leash? Can he decide to punish in other ways than corporal?
    Will they at one point in the story work through the whys and hows they came to hate each other?

    Author's Response:

    No, questions are good!  You're not a bother.  :)

    You're right, Harry can't have a snack without approval.  I suppose that would extend to water as well, though I hadn't given it much thought.  If there is any time that Snape is sleeping when Harry is not restrained, the bond will have a fit, yes.  Snape could forgo the leash, say, if he put Harry in a body binding spell; is that better than a leash though?  Harry can at least move a little bit on the leash.  Snape doesn't know if non-corporal punishment will work.  There's a reason for that.

    Definitely, they'll work through a lot of things. It won't always be bleak and hopeless, though it will be that way for awhile.

    Nice chapter! The bond is really very cruel, but I like the way Harry and Snape are dealing with it. When will Snape tell Harry about his own experience with the slave bond?

    Author's Response: If everyone cooperates - *glares at Harry and Severus* - next chapter.

    I am absolutely loving this story. I love that you are keeping Snape on an even level, not too snarky but not overly fuzzy either as often happens in fan fiction. I also love that you're keeping harry strong, while showing the emotion, but keeping it in character of a 13 yr old teenager. Harry is a strong kid but so many similar stories turn him into a blubbering, emotionally wrecked victim.he's a survivor and you are portraying that wonderfully. Keep it up. I hope you update frequently. Now that I've found this, I just want to read the whole story at once :-)

    Author's Response: Glad you like it!  My beta sent that chapter back about three times I think, telling me that Severus was getting too fluffy.  Finally, "Okay, fine, I'll make him the biggest jerk!"  Then she said it was good.  I'll try to update regularly.  School likes to stop that theory though.

    I like the outcome of first "civil conversation" of Severus and Harry very much.
    The chapter was great and I like very much your way of writing, and psychological reasoning..

    Hoping, that you will update :)
