    Hermione is a nag amd annoying as heck! I admit she has a point there at the end but she's not his bloody mother, she's zero right to have a go at him whenever she feels like. And Snape shouldn't have let her in wen Harry clearly didn't want to be bothered

    I love the story! Love your writing!
    Ummmm when did Harry get his own room in Severus' quarters? Or did Severus just send Harry to bed in his own (Severus') bedroom and he slept on the couch again? Did I miss something somewhere?

    Author's Response:

    Oh dear, it's been such a long time since I wrote that chapter I am having trouble remembering. I went back and looked it over and I am fairly certain that I imagined Snape's quarters having extra rooms, and one of them having been a room Harry could use as a bedroom. I thought I wrote about that somewhere else, but I could be wrong. Sorry for the confusion!

     

    Thank you very much for reviewing and I really hope you continue to read and enjoy the story :)

    Go Hermione!!

    But, what happened in Harry's 5th year that Snape reminded him of? I haven't read that one in a while and can't come up with anything.

    Still as amazing as ever!

    I don't review very often, but you say that reviews encourage you to post sooner and I would really like that, besides you really deserve to be praised for this amazing fic.

    What I like the most about it, is the dynamics between Harry and Severus. You make them sound so In Character, specially Severus. I like it that you didn't commit the sin most Severus/Sevitus writers usually make; portraying a way too soft Severus. It's not just that I like angst, I really think that you depict wonderfully the difficult relationship Harry and Severus would be bound to have in their situation. And really, isn't the beauty in this kind of stories to see them overcome any difficulties?

    I'm really sorry I haven't reviewed before. Now I've forgotten half the things I wanted to say.

    Mmm... I also liked how Hermione told Harry off in chapter 31, it's fun to see Hermione acknowkedging Severus' efforts.

    And I really liked how Harry stood his ground when Remus tried to make him leave his father's house. Way to go, Harry!

    Finally, I'll beg you one more time, to please, please don't make us wait too long to read chapter 38.

    Keep up the good work

    Alexandra Lee-

     



    Author's Response:

    Wow, thank you very much, I'm very flattered.

    I'm glad you commented on the aspect of the difficulty of their relationship, because its definitely one of those things that I feel is the most important in the story. I feel that there is a message to be sent with these sorts of fics- I know a lot of the fanfiction I read actually does affect my outlook on life, so I am very careful about the messages I send with what I write. This theme should become more obvious in upcoming chapters, but something I stress is that Humanity is Universal. No one is perfect, but you have to learn to work past that and adjust the way you act at times. I think it is very easy to get wrapped up in a mindset where any time a person does you wrong, you automatically turn on them... I know I'm rather guilty of this myself- but something we should all be aware of is that no relationship is perfect and that is something that needs to be accepted. I think that is something Severus and Harry are growing to accept in this story- though neither one of them is apt to do a complete 180, they can learn to get along despite their differences.

     

    I agree with what you say about a soft Severus, as well. One of the reasons I rarely read fanfiction of this type anymore is for that reason- Severus is often portrayed as a softy. The man isn't, at all, and it bothers me when people act like this sudden revelation will suddenly turn him into a big teddy bear. That's not his personality, and it's wrong to ask someone to alter their personality to make a relationship work- the same holds true in making a fanfiction work.

    I know it's been a horribly long time since my last update, and I truly apologize. It's been horribly busy for me lately- I've got homecoming this week, I was out of town last week, and I'm in my junior year of High school and its absolutely killing me, especially given the classes I take. I will try really hard to update soon, and your review certainly encouraged me. If I did not have to go to school tomorrow I would go and gladly stay up until 2 am writing for you!

    Thanks again for the review,

    ~Gonnabefamous
