He will, now that he's learned to let go of his guilt and see that he was not to blame for anything that happened that night.  Severus will be sure to keep an eye out for that.

I think any kind of lesson goes better when all participants are willing to learn and to teach.  The book Occluemncy lessons were doomed from the start due to extreme reluctance, distrust, and preconieved notions on both of their parts. 

Ha--well, if you can catch Ron, feel free to give him one!

I know EXACTLY what you mean.  You can't just tell kids not touch this or don't turn that on, because they're like--LETS DO IT ANYWAY and who cares if half the school blows up! Then we get to go home! One kid in my elementary school lit the woodshop on fire by using a band saw or a grinder to strike a spark off something metal, I think it was a pipe, and it landed in some sawdust and next thing you know there's a fire.  His excuse was "I wanted to see what would happen."

Insane!

Sometimes kids NEED to be scared to death, so you don't end up with a dead child. 

yes, Severus is learning how to talk to Harry a lot better.  Thanks for reviewing as always.

Aww, thanks! *blushes*

I had a really hard time deciding what to do for the prank too.  And how Sev should handle Bella, since I didn;t want her to die yet.

Glad you liked my solutions. :) XD
