Slytherin!
It was the start of his second year when Harry couldn't force his realization away any longer. He needed a father, even if it was a bad, uninterested father...he still needed one. So what motivated him to ask Severus Snape?

| Title: Chapter 11: Spinner's Christmas | 27 Sep 2009 |

- Harry and the green shirt - "betraying Gryffindor somehow" - Ha! And Snape is already being dad-like: "Go get dressed." That'd be a priceless moment.
Love Snape saying he doesn't remember being sorted into Gryffindor! Ha!
My guess is that the boy in the picture laughing at James swooping in and out of frame is Sirius. OOH! Are you going to eventually meet the Marauders!? That's be interesting if Harry already recognized them because of these pictures! I don't know why, but my favorite picture you described was the one of Lily climbing the tree in the park (is this Lily and Severus's park?)
Oh boy, did Dumbledore give Snape some hard candies? Bet he did, little meddler! And I liked Harry's puzzled-but-I'll-ignore-it-for-now thought about Draco and his parents sending something for Snape. I am curious as to how (and why for that matter) Snape had pictures of the Marauders...That'd be weird. But, for the purpose of the story, it's nice. I bet he went to Hagrid or someone...maybe McGonagall? Who did he track down the other pictures from? Gah!
Christmas at the Weasley home sounds busy and excessively jovial! But it was cute that Harry came back early. And, aw, Snape admitted to liking having Harry around. Aww! "Permission to hug?" *blubbers* That's adorable for the both of them!
Snape seems particularly fussy with his clothes being clean...Have anything to do with the infamous lake scene in fifth year, or is it just by hanging around Lucius Malfoy too much? It's a funny little quirk you gave him here.
Yes, Snape, dinner is a good place to start indeed. *moves on to the next chapter*
Sorry that I am a bit behind. Will try to do better.

*Gives hug*.
Haha! true, Snape being all "go get dressed" would be something a dad would do! I liked the "sorted into Gryffindor" comment as well :P. Yes that boy in the picture was Sirius. Yes, in Harry's third year the marauders (or at the very least of Lupin and Sirius) are going to be in the fic, true...Harry will recognise them. And also, yes that is the same park mentioned in TDH.
Snape has many methods of getting what he wants, so those pictures of the Marauders and James had come from various sources, McGongall being one of them but hagrid had already given Harry all his pictures, remember? I will not be revealing the true location of the other photos just yet though ;). Haha, I notice that the "permission to hug" is very popular!
I believe that that Snape being fussy with being clean actually came before that moment in fifth year, more from the fact that he had lack of it for most of his life. More on that later though, for Harry will be bound to notice it at some point, perhaps. Lol, the Lucius comment was funny though...but also likely.
I do not mind you being too behind, afterall I still get my wonderful reviews that make me happy, motivated and grin like one who has discovered how to make Voldemort ticklish. Thanks once again for making my day!

- Right at the beginning, Harry's shifting thoughts about himself, James, and Severus are all interesting.
Oh, they took a step backwards, pretty much. Poor Snape and Harry. I can see though how Snape is trying to not let himself get too close to Harry for both their sakes, but still. They both know they need that connection...*sigh*
The potion is an interesting idea. Hope he eventually makes it. Hope Dumbledore doesn't discourage him from taking this step. But! The best part of this chapter? When Harry's nightmare and the pain in his scar mirrored the pain in Severus's Dark Mark. Both of them are equally as effected by good old Voldemort's "mark." That is an interesting connection between them. Nice!
Do continue!
Author's Response:
Raven Knight,
*Gives chocolate frog*.
I'm happy to find that you think they're interesting, I wasn't sure if it would all fit but I think it did in the end, how they both seemed to have simular ideas about deceiving appearances. Yup, two steps forward and one step back in some sense. They aren't sure that they need it yet but they both sure do want it! Snape is having a traditional Slytherin "preservance" moment. *sighs as well*.
I wasn't sure about the potion making sense, but thanks...I hoped it would be a good idea. I doubt Dumbledore wouldn't encourage it. Sure he is a spy but the blood wards for Harry would still apply here and they can work around the other issues (like Death Eater meetings etc). Yeah, glad you liked their connection, I thought it was something people seemed to slip past their notice at times...how they have that connection as well. Thanks!

- Oh, dear. The one time Snape doesn't put something away, Harry manages to find it. Go figure! Just Harry's luck, too! However, I loved, loved, LOVED how Harry reacted! He would react selflessly like this! I love how he thinks of his real parents and not wanting to put Snape in that position! Awesome, awesomeness!
Ooh, and now he's annoying on purpose! There is some Slytherin in the boy after all! I can so see Snape saying, "Well, be bored indoors!" *giggles* Oh, and now he's trying to be James. He's being very clever about this.
Oh, no! He remembered that he left the book open! Oh, the boys need to talk about this!
I feel bad for Harry, I do, but they both need this bond, not just Harry. I'm glad Snape decided to just do it and try to talk about it though. Oh, poor Snape thinkingn it wasn't meant to last. Oh man...Good job!
I hope you're happy! I'm getting emotional! Harry screaming that he hated him! UGH! Oh, poor Snape. And poor Harry! He knew just what horrible things to say, too! The only good thing about this situation, is that Snape knows what caused the reaction in Harry. This must be fixed! Somehow!
Author's Response:
Raven Knight,
Yeah, indeed. I am thrilled that you agree and approve of Harry's reaction because to me I can't see him realistically reacting any other way. And yes, there is quite some Slytherin in the boy hehe. He has figured out that what Snape hates most about him is the James aspect and so he is using that to try and distance them.
Snape is determined to fix things, he will sooner realize that the boy needs this bond with him before he realizes that he needs it as well. Snape is as unsure and insecure as Harry in terms of their future. Both are not used to being granted such happiness or a family that actually cares about them.
I wanted it to have the emotional effect, glad it did even though it was terrible for the boys. Yes, it will need some fixing and Snape isn't going to let this go so easily! Thanks for the review!!

- OMG! *falls over* "Snape frees bees from tape!" That was my favorite! Just picturing it is hilarious! *fell out of chair* Love how it migrated into the other poem! That was such a great little gem to find slightly after midnight while I enjoy a late night glass of milk to relax after the suckiest day of the new term so far! Awesome! That brightened my day...er...night! So funny!
Author's Response:
Lol, that's one of my favorites to picture too! I'm glad I could make your sucky day a bit better :). Thanks for reading!

- HA! Draco throwing in the line about Neville! *Giggle* That's too funny. This was a rather exciting chapter. I'm surprised though that Ginny, even though out of it, wouldn't have thought it weird that not only was Snape down in the Chamber too, but that Draco was as well. It's just strange stuff, that is. Good chapter.
Author's Response: I may not have done a very good job of explaining. But Ginny was unconsious and when she started coming around, Harry sent Draco back to see how Ron was managing with clearing a path for them to get out. Snape sent Ron and Draco on out of the Chamber with Lockhart, before going to get Harry and Ginny. She just assumed that Snape was the teacher that had been sent to rescue her. Ginny, and Ron, probably just assumed that Draco had seen Ron and Harry going into the Chamber and followed to get them in trouble...like with Norbert during first year.

- Fred and George figured it out really fast! Wow! And I really love the mind communicating thing between Draco and Harry! That's awesome. And so adorable. Love that Snape ignored Harry too after he was in trouble again. Poor boy. (Sorry about my delay. I've been overwhelemed with work and everything going on in real life. I'll catch up with this and your sequel too!)

- All I can say is: Poor Harry, poor Draco, yay Snape, and Lucius is insane! Good chapter.

- Ooh, is this interesting! I've read a few stories where Draco and Harry are brothers...this has great potential.

- Ooh, they reconciled before Lily's death. Nice. And even with an Unbreakable Vow to reenforce him looking out for her son(s). Nice element there.
Aw, Draco launching himself at Severus! Too cute! Ooh, and he caught the sleight of hand. Such a little Slytherin, Draco...clever bugger! And it's beyond cute that Severus calls him "dragon."
I liked Draco's reaction, it was pretty much Draco. It also almost showed a bit of concern for Harry when he suggested bringing some of the potion he was given for Harry.
You are doing a good job with making Draco not seem like a complete git! He has this very nice air of innocence about him in your story that is actually refreshing. Especially the little detail about him not handling apparating well.
Poor Draco, and poor Harry. The chat through the cat flap...Ugh! So sad. Love the wand floating up the stairs to Draco. *snort* And also how Draco is so convinced that Severus would obliviate the Dursleys. *giggle* Once that boy gets something in his head...
The eavesdropping conversation and explanation was moving and sad, and I am surprised that Severus would confess that already. Although, wait until Draco (and Harry) finds out that Severus's eavesdropping killed his mother and father. Not going to be a good conversation.
Like this! Keep going!
