    Well written, but has a strangely unfinished feel.  It seems to be all hurt and no comfort payoff.

    "After a moment of thought Harry capped off several other vials just to be sure that Snape actually graded at least one of his potions." I really liked that line, so canon. :) I really liked this story too. A lot of people miss the realness that you have managed to capture- they either have characters that never get hurt, overcome their afflictions without the real pain and hurt involved, or their injuries are unrealistically overdone. Snape seemed very in character. And again, washing off the salves and blood- that was so realistic, just adding that part in, good job. "She hoped that he did not scar easily." Chills. You should probably rewrite this a little, I can tell that you have grown and progressed past this story. Snape seemed as if he had reacted a little too slow when it happened, you can still make him have all his thoughts but make the action of him getting to his student faster. Harry has insights that seem puzzling, like it says that "he didn’t want to drink anything" which seems a little off without mentioning that Harry realized that he may do so, or that he feared it. Also, "He knew that when Poppy removed his bandages... meant that she was going to put more of that putrid salve on his skin.." It's seems that he has the gift of divination and will know that that is what poppy will do once before she even does it. I think that you may have been trying to show that it happened several times. (Poor Harry) The ending part of the story could be bigger, it's a little down from the main part of the story and it would leave a better impression and closing if written a little more fuller. Thanks for posting this! Nit picks: "...and he pitched forward slamming into Potter ..." should be Harry. "...brought his hands to his protectively to his face..." hands protectively "in tact" intact

    Author's Response: Holy Smokes! what a doozy of a review! I'm glad you liked the story. I like it too. I know that I should rewrite it, because the ending (rather the part where Harry is being tended to) to me feels off. Maybe when I have some time during the summer I'll rewrite a lot of things, hehe. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. :)

    Cute little story, not much point that I saw but an enjoyable diversions none the less

    Author's Response: Well, actually that is the point of all the stories that I write. Entertainment. I write because I enjoy it, and I share stuff to let people try and enjoy it too. Even if it didn't turn out so great at least it was something to do, right? There are worse things than a PWP in the world.
