    Nice, nice chapter as always. I know with chemo and radiation my emotions were all over the place and not use then but for at least two years after. I hated it. I so see myself on a bad day in Harry here. I was soooo excited when I saw the email that said another chapter had gone up! Thank you!

Title: Chapter 42: Indulging Misguided Notions 26 Jul 2011
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    Wow! Harry is testing the waters and getting away with it!! I know a lot of this had to do with guilt, but as a teenager with a parent now, I honestly believe he is seeing how far he can push Sev too. My parent skills I would have pulled the kid home. Thanks for the wonderful chapter. Love that Herminie is so gentle with Harry but she's the only one of the three who actually understands what Harry is going through. Even though Ron doesn't mean to be a git to Harry doesn't fully understand this illness of Harry's. How could he? Thank you for a little to escape real life. My mom died last Thursday and even though I am back to work, I am not doing so well....

    Harry's reaction didn't surprise me. He still feels very guilty about Sirus and this is his way of punishing himself and no one is going to change his mind at this point in time. The loss is too fresh and I think the cancer treatments have just delayed his reaction to that loss. Great chapter! Thanks so much for the update.

    Wanted to let you know I enjoyed this chapter so much. Poor Harry, poor Severus. It just isn't fair Harry has to deal with so much. At least his last nightmare "woke" him up to the real world and that he knows Severus is there for him. Nice chapter away from the "medical drama" and more of a people chapter. Thanks! If I have to I will wait for six months for another update.

Title: Chapter 44: Aftermath 28 Feb 2012

    Nice to see you back. Remember, as much as we love your story, your schooling comes first! This is a nice "bonding" chapter. Hopefully Harry will see it as such. He has so much on him now it's a wonder depression hasn't set in. Teenagers, young adults until they become around the age of 23/24 can be a depressing lot normally. Add on the additional stress Harry has, it's amazing he is even still functional at all. Moldyshorts alone would break most young people, but as we all know, our Harry is not your average young person. Thanks for the update.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I am so over school. lol. I have one year left, and I can't wait to be finished. Well that is until I have to enter the scary job market. I think at this point in the story Harry is experiencing a bit of depression. He's starting to really feel the weight of all the stress around him even though Severus is trying his best to keep Harry as stress free as possible. The next chapter is light-hearted but then we're in for a return to the dark side. lol.

Harry Potter goes missing less than a day after being dropped on the doorstep of the Dursley home. One person must determine who his friends and enemies are as he protects the boy under the Headmaster's watch. Unusual favors are called in, unlikely friendships develop, and the shadow of betrayal grows darker...

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Uncertainty 11 Nov 2009
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    This is the most touching Severus/baby Harry chapter I have read in a very long time. Both needing but now quite sure what, and then the swan......security to Harry, his love for Lily to Severus. Very touching.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm so happy it came across as tender and cute Severus & baby Harry interaction.  I was nervous about writing a young, young child.  Yes, they both need something, but it may take a while to figure out that they both just need each other.  The stuffed animals represent two of the characters and are Harry's comfort items.  One was his daddy's and the other his mommy's.  Glad you enjoyed the chapter!  And thank you for the review! ~ RK

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Unexpected Welcome 11 Nov 2009
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    Wow what a chapter!!! I always wondered how Severus was taken away. This was not what I had in mind, but now that I've read it here, it makes more sense than my verson. Everyone at the ministry would be out for the blood of every Death Eater, look how Sirus was put into prision with NO trail. At least in the canon the Death Eaters got some sort of trail. Love the fact that Remus is now hiding Harry. He and Severus work very well together! Great chapter! Keep up the great work!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I find it strange how in canon Sirius had no trial, yet someone like Karkaroff would.  Maybe it's because there were "witnesses" to Sirius's crime?  I'm not sure.  Glad that you like Remus's involvement here.  He'll be around a lot more in the story.  Thank you again! 

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - The Trial of Severus Snape 11 Nov 2009
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    Why do I feel Prof Flitwick will have a large part of the "Harry secret?" I always loved his character and always wanted to know more about that man. Small in size but powerful in magic! Great chapter!

    Author's Response: Flitwick is important in this story as well.  There are many, many things that are solved and puzzled out by the little Charms professor.  I always wanted to know more about Flitwick too, and so I therefore decided to make it up!  Thanks again for another reveiw!  ~ RK

    Loving this story so far!! Tevin in Hufflepuff with a Slytherin father, that is just so wrong and so many levels!!! LOL

    Author's Response: I' so thrilled you are enjoying my story!  I'm enjoying writing it!  Yes, can you imagine if Tevin ends up a Hufflepuff?  *snort*  I think Severus would either laugh in shock or drop over.  Thank you again for your review!  I love them!  Thanks for reading too! ~ RK

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - A Meeting of Destiny 13 Nov 2009
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    Draco and Harry, who would have thought! This could be very interesting. Liked that Draco was the first to ask about being friends, that makes me think that he really doesn't have any......dinner should be interesting. I don't like the way Ophelia was ignored! Bad Lucias and Cissa.

    Author's Response: Draco has friends already.  Unfortunately, they're Crabbe and Goyle.  Not the most fun nor intelligent playmates, right?  Dinner will indeed be interesting.  Yes, the Malfoys ignored Ophelia, but after all she is a Muggleborn and not worth their attention or politeness in their opinion. Glad to get another review from you!  Thank you for reading!  ~ RK
