    I thought Nicolas was terrific. You portrayed him just as a former military man should behave.

    I'm not sure about the amnesia thing though. I am very interested to see where you go with it.

    Thanks for a great chapter. Please update soon.

    Author's Response:

    I loved writing Nick in that last chapter since I've wanted to add in that scene for a looong time. Thanks for reviewing!


Severitus - Snape knows he is Harry’s father, but his desperate attempts to gain custody fail. He vows that he will protect his son, by any means.

    I am completely awed by your amazing talent. I can't find the words to describe how completely moving this chapter has been.
    Please PLEASE update quickly!

    Author's Response:

    thank you so much *blushes *

    I'm glad you liked it, I wrote it a long time ago now, and when I re read it... I thought it was quite bad actually. It's a relieve to see that not anyone thinks so ;-)

    Another great chapter! Thank you so much!

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17- Three Times a Heartbreak 21 Nov 2008
Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    This is an absolutely magnificent chapter, The only words I can say are thank you.

    Author's Response: well, thank you too ;-)

Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    I am loving your story very much......but this chapter was a little too painful for me. Please tell me that Harry will quickly come to realize the truth of his torture and begin to deal with it quickly.

    Thanks so much for sharing your gift with all of us.

    Author's Response:

    thank you ! Yes, the warning 'torture' was not excessive, I think ;-)

    Hum actually the next chapter is about a very confused and weak harry, but I promise that Snape will take care of it! Though he will be having a hard time himself, faced to the situation. Taking points won't help him here...

Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Another great chapter! I hope Harry can manage to steal all of Voldy's powers.

    Author's Response: You can be sure that he will at least try -)

Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25 -A Black and White Photo 05 Feb 2009
Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Good chapter! A little slower paced than usual, but I think that helps us understand Harry's emotional progression much better.

    Thanks Again,
    Donna

    Author's Response: yes, I think I needed to give them some peace to sort this out, though peace never last long in this realm!

    Author's Response: thanks ;-)
