    I can not wait for your next update!  I just read this story all the way through and love it.  Your writing is wonderful!


    Author's Response: I won't lie, I can't wait for my next update either! Haha, I've been working hard on it, I really have. With the start of school it's been rather difficult, I won't lie... still, the ideas are flowing and my fingers are moving quickly. With any luck, we'll see an update soon.

    Awesome story!  I have read it all through now.  Love the Harry/Serverus dynamics here.  Man, I hope that Harry and Severus can make up after this fiasco!

     Update soon!



    Author's Response: Gracias, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will try to update as soon as possible :)

    Wow! That was very emotional, I don't know weather Harry should just leave or try to fix things. I will look forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    It's definitely a hard decision to make in these situations. Do you walk out and teach the person a lesson? Make a hard choice so that you don't get hurt? Or do you realize that people are imperfect, and that they deserve second chances? Do you stick around and see how it turns out?

    Harry and Severus both have so many walls put up, and are so short-tempered and stubborn that I think this was bound to occur. I always knew they would have a few spats- admittedly, I didn't really see this one coming until my fingertips walked me into it... so it was kind of a surprise for me, as well. Just a bit, but I was shocked that I actually let myself write it. I felt rather cruel, lol.

     I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter; the new one will be up within the next few weeks.

    Thank you so much for loading up all these chapters.

    It was a great read (especially the last potions lesson scene). Keep up the good work. And please update soon. I am dying to know what obstacles Harry and Severus will meet in their new home.



    Author's Response: Gracias, I'm glad you liked it. I figured if I just got it caught up with fanfiction.net, I would start remembering to update, lol. It's funny... those chapters are like, a years worth of work.

    I will probably update soon- but updates don't come as often as before. Two weeks between updates on average- as you can see, my chapters have become much longer. Whereas I used to write 5-10 pages on Microsoft word for a chapter, I now write around 30. So it's almost like I'm writing and uploading 3-6 chapters at a time. Takes a bit longer, lol.

    UPDATE!!!

    Author's Response: mmmm... *smiles*... if you insist. I just added all the way up to chapter 35, so I'm hoping that makes up for the lack of updating.

    Sweet ... there´s nothing else to say.

    Except: More please ... soon!! ;-) !!!

    I wonder what will Lupin and the rest of the gang say when they find out? And will everything be alright between S.S. & Harry from now on ... or will there be some "minor" relapses ?!?

    Cheers,

    N.O.



    Author's Response: Well, you should be able to find out now, because there are 11 new updates!
Title: A Dark Man's Woeful Past 14 Jul 2006 9:19 pm
Reviewer: catti666 (Anonymous) [Report This]
    I like this story. Both Harry and Severus are in character and trying to settle their own feelings which they both are really good at hiding. Dumbledore NOT trying to interfere anymore and I think it is better so. I'm interested to see next chapter, please write again!


    Author's Response:

    Yeah, Dumbledore definitely needed to lay off- once he does, I think Harry and Severus will have an easier time of getting to know one another. Neither can be forced into this.

     

    Thanks for the review :)

Title: History from a New Standpoint 02 Jul 2006 11:28 pm
Reviewer: Noblesse Oblige (Anonymous) [Report This]

    Dear gonnabefamous, 

    Thanks for the quick update.

    Really interesting chapter. I would not have expected Snape to open up so much to Harry so soon (and tell him all from such a personal p.o.v.) - and for Harry to react in that way. I´d rather expected it to be the other way around - or for them both to be very frosty around each other...

    But since you write extremely well (especially for a 16 year-old. Gee, I mean. I have read fics from people twice your age that totally sucked) the whole scenario is still believable... I am really interested in the future development of these two characters (wink,wink, nudge, nudge :-) !!!)

    Till then: Chapeau !!!

     



    Author's Response:

    Well, the way I see it, Severus realizes he has to be the adult in this situation. I think alot of his irritionality with Harry in the past was due to a struggle for control- he was supposed to be the one in authority, yet Harry was always Dumbledore's Golden boy and the pet of McGonagall- no one really saw Harry as quite the monster he did, and he was even more infuriated by that. The staff didn't back him in his opinion, making things less in his control, which led to his rather childish behavior (at times.).

     

    Now, however, Severus is in control of the situation. I think he subconsiously realizes that, and he understands that he really has to be the adult in this situation. Harry is the more vulnerable one at this point- he's been hurt by almost all the adults he's had in his life, at some point. Severus has never had to deal with a child that he could call his own, but nor has he been harmed by said child- I think he would approach the situation with some caution and rationality.

    Yes, he does explain to Harry alot of things, but as I believe he said (if memory serves me correctly, I'm not sure, it's been a long time) he owes Harry an explaination.

     Mmm.... I've been working on regrouting a bathroom all day and I haven't eaten, so I'm not sure how much sense the above novel makes, but there's my reasoning behind their behavior. Hopefully it's not as ridiculously muddled as I think it might be.

     

    Thanks for the review!

Title: So From the Delves of a Troubled Mind 01 Jul 2006 11:49 pm
Reviewer: Noblesse Oblige (Anonymous) [Report This]

    Whoa !!!

    Thank you for the quick response - and for this wonderful chapter...   

    I was right: you are getting better with each chapter. This one is the best, yet. It makes you longing for more. Wondering what will Harry and Snape do next, now that the beans are spilled!?!

    And although we most likely won´t find any "Harry, I am your father"-moments in book 7, this is how it could have been done if JKR would have chosen this path. Your Harry & Snape really are IC.

    Kudos & and please: more,more,more... :-) !!!



    Author's Response:

    Haha, no problem- I check my email about 40 times a day (No kidding) so I probably got your review right after you sent it. And I do try to respond to most reviews.

    I actually agree that my chapters get better as you go along the story- I think this is because once I finish a chapter, I'm able to read over it and see what needs to be improved on. I'm only 16 (I was 15 when I wrote this part of the story) so everything is a learning experience.

     

    Thanks for your review; I'll try to update tomorrow.

Reviewer: Noblesse Oblige (Anonymous) [Report This]

    Dear gonnabefamous,

    this story is getting better with each chapter (in the last chapters your Snape really feels like of a true Canon-Snape to me). It´s becoming one of my all-time favorites (next to in blood only, blood magic, etc.). I am really looking forward to a big Severus-Harry talk/confronation. So: could you please upload the other chapters here soon, too? I prefer this site (and tauri.owl) to ff.net...

    Altogether: Two thumps up. You rock !!!

    p.s.:  This is my first-ever review - I must be really desperate to read the rest of the story :-) !!!



    Author's Response:

    Ok, I gave you another chapter :)
    Thanks so much for the review, I appreciate the comments. I certainly try to make my Snape as IC as possible, though it's difficult with this genre.

     

    Glad my story earned the first ever review! I certainly feel flattered :)
