Author's Response: Thank you:) My problem is I have ideas for chapters faster than I can write them and I constantly find myself wanting to work on chapters further on in the story... Anyway hope you like the next chapter :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes Snape as I see him would never hit Harry ... unless he really lost his temper to the point where he wasn't in control of his actions at all. And I think staying in control is very important to Snape so that wouldn't happen lightly. Also I think that Snape would pride himself on his Slytherin abilities to instill fear without resorting to force... Hence his bark is quite a bit worse than his bite so far. Mind you threatening to send a child back to abusive relatives is almost as bad as hitting him I think...
Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your reviews! It really encourages me to keep writing:) Yes I'm going to try and keep Snape from getting soft at any point in the story if I can avoid it. He'll always be capable of acting like a complete git in my eyes, although he has some crucial redeeming qualities.
Author's Response: Thank you:) Yes at this point Harry is certainly behaving himself...
Author's Response: I think Harry would hate to see anyone suffering, particularly if he felt in some way responsible for it. It gives Harry a bit of an insight into the strain Snape is living under all the time living his double life. It says a lot that it didn't even occur to Snape that Harry would have been worried for him...
Author's Response: Yeah everything else goes out the window when it comes to the people Harry cares about! He just can't help himself.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. You're right- this was a bit of a nightmare because I couldn't decide if Snape was reacting too harshly or softly... It was this chapter that 1st gave me the idea for this fic actually because I was thinking about how Snape might react and thought it would be an interesting starting point (although it's actually taken me ages to get to this point lol)
That's such a short review, but it just sums everything up. It's natural and...real. Author's Response: Thank you and again thanks so much for taking the trouble to do so many reviews. It really makes a difference to me and I'm getting close to the magic 50 reviews point. (Not quite sure why that's magic lol but it seems like a huge milestone to me!)
I refuse to believe Sirius is dead by the way, even if you don't add a twist that he is really okay (which I'm still hoping you will) in my mind I will have a nice happy ending. Even though if you don't have a Sirius-lives ending I expect you will have a happy Snape-Harry-Guardian ending which would be sweet too. Ohhhh, wonder what is going to happen "tomorrow"!!! Like Snape's guilt by the way and his very Slytherin 'let-someone-else-take-the-rap-with-old-Voldie-ploy'. I seem to like -'s today, how annoying. Can't wait for the next chapter! I have to actually WAIT now *sobs* Pressing the "next" button was so much better. Author's Response: Yes apart from actually attacking Harry Snape probably couldn't have hurt him any more if he'd tried. Not very nice and he wasn't even trying to be particularly nasty. So quite an achievement really. I did consider having Snape know the perfect spell to repair the broomstick but thought that would be too easy on him. Ah Sirius... I've had a few reviews requesting alternately for him to be stay dead/turn out to be alive... I won't say too much other than to say that a degree of uncertainity about Sirius' fate will play a part in following chapters. That doesn't necessarily mean that he will end up being alive however... we will have to wait and see how it unfolds. Whatever happens you can be assured that you will find out more about what he was trying to do and it will play a part in the plot - he hasn't just gone off to Ireland to get him out of the way so Harry and Snape can be forced to spend time together! He he I get that with '-' sometimes or italics or occasionally particular words which creep into a paragraph repeatedly :)
Author's Response: I left it open as to whether it was done on purpose but overall I think it probably was a genuine mistake. Dumbledore thinks it was an accident and he's a pretty good judge of character. Having said that Snape is paranoid with good reason as in this fic the aurors will be portrayed as being pretty murky at times. I wanted to get Harry and Severus to hug at some point in this chapter! It didn't quite happen though ...oh well they did get to hold hands lol... Thanks for taking the time to review:)
