Sucked a toffee whilst reading this to help with the angst. Not sure who to feel sorry for at this moment! Poor Harry!

Wow. Poor Harry. I was hoping Snape would have more insight than he did.
You could really feel Harry's desperation in this chapter. I was shocked at shapes attitude, I thought that he would have at least shown a little concern for Harry's wellbeing.
Another great chapter, please keep the updates coming . ;)
Wow,esta historia me encanta
Es impresionante como se va oscureciendo, pobre Harry
That means I get a piece of chocolate!!!! Yay!!!! Thank you so very very much!!!!

*rolling my eyes* Of course Snape only concerns himself with how Harry's injuries affect him. Of course he thinks he's the center of Harry's universe and everything harry does is calculated to cause Snape the most grief.
The Headmaster and McG are idiots if they actually think an abused kid is going to tell them who the abuser is, especially when one of them is in a position of authority over him and the other is in a position of authority over his mother (not that they realize that). Abused kids don't tell for Christ's sake. Nothing good comes of it. They aren't trustworthy and won't actually do anything but make things worse. In fact, they already did.
For fucks sake, they allowed Harry alone with Snape when they have suspicions that he's the abuser. What did they think was going to happen? Just a friendly little chat? They either allowed Snape to talk his way out of it, or are just like most adults that think "well...family" and won't step in even when they see Harry being abused. Just goes to show that Harry was right not to trust them.
I think the best case scenario would be for Snape to be fired for child abuse - if that's even a fireable offense in that society (because even if he didn't do it himself, he allowed it to happen under his roof through his neglect and dismissive attitude towards Harry whom he was legally responsible for. He set the tone for the rest of the household and let them do what they will, never checking the conflicting stories. Even now he refuses to admit that anyone but Harry injured Harry) or at the very least, Harry taken from his custody. The Child Welfare services would probably work out some supervised visitation arrangement for Lily. It's not like Harry gets to spend time with her anyway.
Lily is compromised and sad to say, more on Snape's side than harry's. She has no relationship with Harry.
And WTF Hat? Do you want Harry killed or mentally broken for good? Because that's what would happen if harry sorted Slytherin when Snape announces to the house that TBWL is fair game and won't have his protection just by treating Harry the way he normally does. Harry was smart to avoid that fate. Permanent damage would have been done in just a few weeks - I'm convinced.
Whew! You certainly have got me emotionally engaged in this story :-) I still hate Snape. I know you are writing a reconciliation type story, but let me tell you....I'm hoping for permanent separation from this child abuser and I'm hoping Snape is actually legally punished in some way. He deserves it.
Wow, what an excellent chapter! So well written. I can't wait to find out what happens next
P.S. Your intentions are good Harry but... If you don't tell someone about the bitch then the bitch will win.
The darkness didn't get to me but... Can I pretty please with Hogwarts on top have a piece of chocolate anyways?
Author's Response: Prevention is just as good! ;)
