    I love this story, I like to come back to it every once in a while to remind myself that there is good fanfiction out there. It's expertly written, no correction, masterly written- you've got all the characters especially Snape down to a tea, and I love the plot with all it's twists and turns.
    I'm only sad that it was never finished. I've looked everywhere I could think and it's still at 44 chapters.
    I know that the likelihood of it being finished is slim and do you know what? I do not think it matters, you're done something wonderful and you've sparked our imagination.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much- what a great review! This really perked me up, I'm in the middle of writing a 6 page paper :(

    Unfortunately, it has been so long since I've written that it's really difficult for me to sit down and pick up where I left off. I've tried a few times, and I just can't remember exactly where I was going with it. I used to have such a vision for the story that every chapter just flew out of my fingertips! Now I feel defeated when I stare at a blank word document titled "Chapter 45". 

    I really want to continue and finish the story, I'm just so much busier now than I was when I was writing avidly. 

    Thank you for your review and if I can ever get a handle on my real life I certainly want to go back to writing about these characters. Reviews like yours encourage me and remind me of what I set out to do in the first place.

    Wow, this took a LONG time to catch up with, but now I'm with everyone else in having to wait for the next update and all.

    I love the positive note at the end of this chapter, with Harry finally starting to believe that he may very well win and survive the confrontation with old Moldyshorts.

    Excellent development of characters and especially the growing relationship between Severus and Harry.

    Great chapter and great story. I took the time to reread the whole thing and really enjoyed it. I appreciate the slow evolving of Snape's feelings and appreciation for Harry.

    Is Harry's "sadness" in this chapter due to the fact that his father is acting more as his trainer than his father? or is something else going on.

    What a great present! You've really piqued my curiousity. Now I'm really anxious to see what's going to happen now!

    Ooh, I can't wait till the NEXT Chapter! No presssure (haha)!

    I just love Severus; he's so grumpy, and Harry is so trusting of him. I really like to see how their relationship has progressed. Neither one may be demonstrative, but you see the implicit trust that they have in each other, and how much they care for each other.

    Oh, I can't wait for the next update, which I hope will be soon. I really love the direction that the story is taking!

    Happy New Year you too!
