I suppose you shouldn't have really worried about your infrequent updating. I suppose if I had found out that you had a whole bunch of chapters posted elsewhere, I would just have gone and checked out fanfiction.net. So I bet that's what your readers did. I mean your story is so good, I'd search everywhere for more... you don't have more chapters hiding somewhere do you? (more than 36 that is).

Well about this chapter. I loved how you had Snape unwilling to leave Harry's side. A bit foolish, but hey, Madame Pomfry wasn't able to do much more anyway. I really liked how you had Snape take Harry's hand, like it was a lifeline and a "connection." And I like how you have Harry not trusting the healer, looking around for someone else... and then he went to sleep after Snape said it was okay. That was sweet.

Author's Response:
Well, actually, I have said that I post on ff.net- but I get people saying that they don't like that site, so they go on here instead. No... no more chapters hiding, lol. The most updated version is always on ff.net. I haven't even finished chapter 37 yet!
Well, I figure, Harry's just gone through a horrible experience, and Snape saved him. If his word in this moment isn't true, then I don't know whose is!
Severus was also feeling rather protective- first of all, he just spent so much time protecting harry, and he wanted to stay and make sure his work didn't go to waste. Two, (and I probably mentioned this, but I'll say it again) he's still shaken by the fact that he... ahem, 'could have had a son'... that fact is definitely activating his paternal instincts, even if he has absolutely no idea.
