More please! :-D
I am really enjoying this story. I feel very badly for Harry and Severus both, because they have so much to overcome considering their past relationship. I look forward to seeing how they grow and change and interact as they go through this effort to properly heal Harry of all of his past injuries. And, I must admit, that I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Dursley's and Umbridge are dealt with...
I wish there were more pages to turn! :-)
I like the turn that this story has taken and am excited to see it develop. :)
Coventry Cook sounds like an interesting character. I'm looking forward to finding out how she and Harry get along.
Interesting way to put Occlumency to work!
Really liking this fic.
Great chapter! I really like your story. I look forward to seeing what interactions Coventry will have with Harry and Severus.
Always excited to see you writing-- excellent and inventive as always.

Very good chapter thank you
Ok...maybe I'm too cynical but I honestly saw this as a performance of Snape's. Calculated and meant to negate Harry's justified anger and resentment towards Snape and his treatment of Harry. Perhaps a tiny bit was atonement for his treatment of Harry, but then he turned it around to make Harry feel indebted and guilty because Snape...a person that hates Harry...is going through all this pain for Harry's benefit. So, not really atonement at all.
Snape not having the potion ready when he presumably knew he would need it judging by his words of being better able to handle the dark magic. Why he didn't have Poppy as an assistant if both the patient and healer would be incapacitated with pain during the procedure if not to make Harry feel bad and be that much more dramatic. Even though this was all Snape's decision and Harry didn't ask for this at all, I'm sure Snape will work it so Harry feels forced to "repay" him.
At the very least, Harry's arm should have been immobilized. The scar ointment and pain reliever should have been out already and a bed prepared for Snape and Poppy should have been on hand to assist Snape since again....he knew it would hurt and he would be incapacitated.
It was all a performance in my eyes, but I'm sure that's not what you meant for the story.
LOL...I think I'm too jaded for this story. A normal abused kid would probably get quite a bit of satisfaction seeing their abuser in pain on their behalf. Being forced to endure it in order to heal the kid they abused not a day prior and is still pulling rank and demanding "respect", even when the abused kid is in hospital and he's done nothing to earn said respect.
I suspect (because I'm cynical remember) that this one act is supposed to soften Harry towards Snape and make Harry forgive him his sins and for some reason, forge a sense of trust towards Snape. Washing 5 years of abuse away and giving Snape a clean slate as it were.
Snape's role in Harry's healing came as a surprise. It is going to be hard for Harry to hate him when he is suffering so much to make Harry better. I thought Snape's comment was good, too. He is doing it because it needs to be done. Severus is all about doing his duty whether he actually likes Potter or not.
