Well... at least there was actual back-and-forth this time around. Taking the name Evans... I like the idea. It's about the most neutral choice that she currently has. Yes, it's connected to her mother's family, but it doesn't leave the sour taste that 'Dursley' does. As for first names, since using Harriet as a middle name is a good idea, that really frees up what she can do with her first. It really would be good to get some suggestions. I'd actually like to see what Severus would come up with. Heck, she could call herself 'Sunshine' and, really, it's up to her. (Though I do think that 'Sunshine' would get a strong no from practically everyone else) There's nothing against going by her middle name in everyday life. She'd only have to deal with it in more formal situations. I think Severus would suggest names in latin, like his own.
...What is the Latin word for Sunshine anyway? Then just add an 'a' at the end and boom, feminine name.

Another great chapter..like usual! Again you had me captivated from start to finish. The tension between them and the lost feelings came out quite realistic. I think Snape stayed well in character and this is how I imagine he would react. I like the pre-teen angst on Harry's side as well as the sweeter comfort and realization that maybe Snape does care. I hope they have some chances to work through some of their problems during the summer. I can imagine there are many ways and normal parental concern that Harry is unaware of. So far she has been somewhat honest with Snape, but I could see her having a habit to conceal the truth or lie about even small matters or breaking something or needing something as habit from the Dursleys. I hope to see Snape and Harry's relationship grow (slowly) stronger.
I also love that you keep Dumbledore constantly in the background. The uncertainty of his plan and actions just created a little extra angst.
I look forward to seeing her choose her name and I also think it would be nice to see her reaction to her new clothes and trying them on for the first time.
This was the perfect way to celebrate the end of finals for myself
Author's Response: I hope it went well! ^_^
I wonder what name she will pick. I hope Harriet isn't anywhere in it.
This is really great. I would right a lot more, but I just thought everything about this chapter was simply wonderful!
an interesting shopping experience for harriet and severus!!

Excellent chapter from start to finish. I can't think of anything that I did not like about it. You had me captivated though the whole chapter. I really, really like that you do not make things okay right away and that you work through some of the feelings and tension. Their characters are perfectly written. I like that Harry is still, and has feelings and reasoning skills like a child. She is definitely going to be in a world of trouble. Excited for the next chapter.
Such a tense yet sentimental relationship love it
If I had just drone that my poarenrs would have hauled me over their knee in the street.
This was just lovely, as always.
Someone's in trouble! I really love how sassy Harry is. There's a Slytherin-ness in her that reminds me of Severus. If he would only stop being so closed off, he'd see that his child is more like him than he thinks.
