Oh, poor Harry. I love Gordon, though. Absolutely cannot wait for Snape to live out three days as Harry Potter. Please update quickly!

Great chapter!! I love seeing the scene from Hermione's point of view ~ definitely gave the scene a whole different feel. I am SO looking forward to two things: (1) The scene where Gordon explains exactly what happened with Harry ~ can't wait to see their reactions. Harry should be happy that Remus was angry with Arthur for the book. and (2) Severus at the Dursleys. Looking forward to more!!
Author's Response: Due to some changes in the plot treatment, I've decided not to include Severus at the Dursleys in the main story. However, you can find it here (and eventually at FF.net) under the name "Snape's Punishment". :-)

Well, took you long enough to update, but it was definitely worth it. I've been waiting for Harry to break down forever now. By the way, I loved the whole 'Contrariwise' thing. Clever, I guess. Anyway, update soon.

Well you've managed to drag me over to this site so that I could get the end of the chapter. Very sneaky of you. I think if I was Harry I'd just be at the point now where I would refuse to do anything the adults wanted me to do at all. Gordon seems to be the only useful one out of the lot of them and he's a Muggle! You'd think they'd no that forcing Harry to do something wouldn't be the smartest choice. I hope Gordon really lets them have it. :)
Author's Response: Oh, I want to let Gordon let them have it, too. I have found myself in a bit of a quandary though, I must admit--Gordon can't "let the adults have it" in front of Harry, and he has promised not to discuss Harry with them without Harry present. Oh, what to do..? :-/

whew, almost went catamose there. I didn't realize there were so many 'fanfic' sites!!
Author's Response: Well, with the "quality" of FF.net, can you blame them? :-/ Plus, I like this one for reading Snape-Harry fiction because when I find a story that looks good, I know what I'm getting. :-) And I think a lot of the people who read Lies are people who enjoy Harry-Snape interaction, so...

Ya! lovely chapter the previous one made me so nervous! i was all O.o -ish.... anywho my one question was that when Harry let Gordon go talk about what happened with the adults was he trusting his judgement about the situation? was he just tired? or was he indifferent because he didn't beieve it would have any result?
Author's Response: Good question. :-) To some extent, he was showing a bit of trust toward Gordon--that Gordon would pass on anything he learned to Harry. Mostly, though, he was just exhausted. He was also trying to avoid the same situation he had just gotten out of, where he was in the middle of the adults and all their emotions. He's still not able to deal with people's emotions very well, especially when they are strong.

This was an amazingi chapter... very powerful, emotionally, and (as always) extremely well-written. I really liked the scene with Gordon and Remus- very believable. Just as a small question, did you already have a lot of knowledge of psychology, or did you go into research especially for Lies?
Also, upon my second time reading through this chapter, it occurred to me that where Harry was responding so much to Remus, it might have also had to do with his empathy. As his breakdown was majorly contributed by people panicking around him, did he sense Remus' care and concern for him, and just reach out instinctively to try and shield himself from the emotions he felt from everyone else?
Anyway, this was amazing.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. :-) I have some knowledge of psychology, but I did special research for this chapter in particular, as I've never worked with a counselor the way Harry is. Of course, my special research involved lots of long talks with my aunt (who just got her PhD in psychology and has also been counselling as part of her degree for a while now). :-D As for Harry responding to Remus, it might just have had to do with his empathy--some of this I plan out, but some of it I just let happen, and I don't necessarily understand it all until later. For example, I hadn't originally planned to have Harry break down completely, but as you noted, he reacted to the adults' panic and the situation deteriorated until the breakdown was the only way for him to protect himself. So probably he did attach himself to Remus for that reason, though Gordon also sent everyone else downstairs to the kitchen to try to get them out of his "range" so to speak. ;-) I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and I'll try to get the next chapter out faster--really!

Very nice chapter, Molly! I really like how you had Gordon handle things. You have so much going on in this story and I cannot wait until the truth about Snape comes out. It should be quite intersting. Keep up the good work darlin'.
Cheers!
