    I loving this story and chapter. Poor Harry, realizing the “toy” had actually been a pet. He must feel terrible. I’m glad Snape knows that Harry did not maliciously torture an innocent animal now. Poor, poor Ginny. The boys deserved that whacking. I can understand Harry not wanting to return; it would probably spiral him into depression to return. I’m glad Harry is feeling better, but I wonder how he will feel when the potion wears off. I bet Snape could use Harry to harvest snake venom. Maybe he can convince Harry to come help him harvest snake ingredients in exchange for room and board. I’m loving this story, and Harry’s thoughts, and Snape’s thoughts. Very well done in the characterization and growth of these two characters. I’m loving the little manipulations Snape is using, all good intentioned. Fantastic update. Thank you for writing and sharing!

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Harry is horrified - he felt bad enough when he thought it was just a toy, seeing as it's almost exactly the same thing Malfoy did to Neville. I am against hitting children, but I have to say, with the twins, I understand why their parents sometimes feel a scolding is not enough. Which is why I made them the main perpetrators - I don't think Harry would ever do something bad enough for Arthur to get angry on his own. Interesting idea about Snape asking Harry to help him harvest snake venom. That would be a way to get around Harry's lack of trust - he is much more ready to believe that Snape has selfish reasons than to trust that Snape cares about him.

    I wonder if the Weasleys even realized that Harry did not know that the puffskin was an animal?

    Author's Response: Unlikely. They seem to only remember that Harry was raised by muggles when Harry asks questions - which this time, he didn't.

    Yay! Yay! Harry is getting the care he needs, finally. I am so glad that Snape managed to make contact, and get Harry to rest, and eat. The hot water bottle was sweet. I’m glad the doe came back too! I wonder what Snape is up to now? Making more potions for Harry? Reporting to Dumbledore? Taking a nap in another room? I’m loving this story. Please update when you can!

    Author's Response: Your first guess was actually right! Thanks for your comment!

    Awwww, I love it. Beautiful the way the doe, and Snape are taking care of Harry without Harry knowing it. I hope Harry gets the rest he needs, and that Snape finds him soon before he gets too sick! I love that the doe is staying with Harry. Awww. Thanks for the update and for sharing this story!

    Oh no! Harry is in trouble now! I’m scared for him. I love the use of the doe patronus. It is so iconic but hardly ever used. So lovely, and smart of Snape. Fantastic writing. I’m loving this story.

    Author's Response: Well, Snape does want to keep his patronus secret. But of course, when it is about saving Lily's child, it is appropriate to use it. It's the closest Harry gets (before the resurrection stone anyway) to meeting his mother, seeing as the doe likely consists of 90% memories of Lily. Thank you!

    Lovely chapter I like your Severus he is IC even when helping!

    Author's Response: Oooch, thank you! I do try to keep him IC. After all, he helps Harry in canon, too ... conveniently always without Harry noticing at the time.

    Oh Harry... Sev really confused you, didn’t he?

    Author's Response: There's nothing more confusing than a nice(-ish) Snape. ;)

    A lovely sweet chapter, but where did he get the 6 galleons from?

    Author's Response: I thought he might have some money left from his shopping trip in first year. After all, the Dursleys don't know it is there, and he probably took out a lot more than was necessary for his school stuff, as he wasn't aware of how much things would cost. Or perhaps he got the money himself when he flooed to Diagon Alley with the Weasleys. (I didn't write that out here, because I imagine it went about the same as in the original, and it wouldn't really add much to the story.)

    Poor Harry. How stubborn is Dumbledore?

    Author's Response: Much too stubborn ... but Severus is stubborn, too.
