Thank you so much for updating. I think this is a wonderful chapter, both with content and with the extremes of emotion. Severus has had to have a look at his actions and how he is dealing with Ariel. I’m not sure but it almost seems as if Draco is desperate for friendship with Ariel and because he doesn’t know how to get this he is trying for any reaction. I’m probably completely wrong but never mind. I do hope you continue this story when you can I’m really enjoying it.
Author's Response: You're actually the first person I've seen to touch on that -- Draco wanting Ariel's attention will come into play next chapter (there's a reason there hasn't been much of him up until lately). I'm really excited to see that someone picked up on that LOL.
Thank you for the review!! <3

I love it!
Author's Response: Thank you!! :D
Well...this chapter had all the feels! Even though I know Ariel wasn't quite herself when she did it, I was still happy when she walloped Malfoy, lol. I like how you've crafted Ariel to be someone who is forthright with her emotions (for the most part). Her reactions to everything are exactly how I'd imagine they would be, with what she has/is experienced/experiencing in her life. Ugh, that last scene! So. Much. EMOTION! She's hurt (physically, emotionally), scared, angry, but mostly, I think she's confused. She seems to want more of a relationship with Snape, but I don't think Ariel really knows what that relationship should be like or look like...and Snape's certainly not helping in that department. But that hug? Well, that changes things a bit, doesn't it? Maybe Snape really is ready to truly start taking on more of a parental role. And can I just say that I am here for Ariel and her headband (lol)? I'm hoping our girl lets her hair grow out more...and I'm kind of hoping Lavender and Pavarti get their hands on her. Thanks for the update! I hope you keep at this story in the coming months, but totally understand if you don't get to it until June, fellow teacher ;)
Author's Response: Ariel is very much the antithesis of Snape and Lily in this chapter, whereas Snape is a bowl of murderous rage/guilt and tact, Lily is willing to stand up for what's right, but not take it too far. Ariel has murderous rage, and is willing to stand up for what's right, but has absolutely no tact/boundaries. So, we get Malfoy with his face smashed in (and he totally deserved it, the little attention seeking weasel).
Snape saw a lot of PANICPANICPANIC and it made him PANICPANICPANIC so we got... a hug? I think maybe he was trying to smother her to death, but I can't prove anything. I do think he's starting to accept his role deep down, but he's having a lot of trouble sorting through it.
Thank you for the awesome review, fellow teacher! Stay safe out there in the trenches! <3
What a great surprise! Please do not stop writing! I absolutely love this story and I regularly check to see if it has been updated and have read through it at least a dozen time. It is so unique and a really interesting story line. I think I will die if you were not to update until June *tear drop* Also I absolutely love love love your Snape, he is so packed with emotions and the way you portray him is *chefs kiss*. I really hope you choose to continue to post... I feel like this is just the turning point in there relationship and I am DYING to see more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I didn't mean to scare everyone LOL I only meant it as a sort of "is anyone there? if not I'm gonna slow this ship down" and it's VERY after posting yesterday that no one wants that to happen, so I shall keep going!!!
Nicely written reconciliation. Now for the hard part of making it work in the long run.
Author's Response: Thank you! Ah, yes, Snape is in for a rollercoaster ride.
