- Excellent chapter! Glad to see you continuing this story, as it is one of my favorites.
I was glad that Lupin spent some time trying to actually listen to Harry and also attempting to get him to understand something of the harrowing nature of what he and Snape are trying to do. It came at a good time, as Harry was careful later in Snape's study. I suppose this means that the Ministry remains quite suspicious.

- Great update. Snape seems always so focused on whatever seems necessary, and to him "necessary" appears to be whatever is specifically needed to accomplish the task at hand, which tends to leave out the feelings and emotional wellbeing of others. So he is spending time on Lupin, treating him after whatever happened to him with the Ministry officials, but does nothing to help Harry's emotional state. Now, with Draco in need, Snape will probably be spending time helping Draco. And of course Harry will feel even more acutely this apparent lack of concern for him. I suppose once Harry finally figures out what was going on in Fudge's test, it will hurt all the more. I love your writing, but I must admit that I hate to see even further reasons for Harry to feel alone and without anyone to care for him. I'm kind of wondering when, if ever, Harry will get a break.

- I just read this over on ff.net but thought I'd review here. I love this piece. Really atmospheric and beautifully done. Maybe it's just me, but I get a little confused at the end. Well, scratch that. I think I'm pretty clear on when I'm seeing Snape versus Harry's pov, but I don't quite get the transitions. You should post "Normal Things" here as well, since it fits with "I Capture the Castle." That too, is an excellent piece.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I was going to post normal things, but as Harry isn't directly featured in it (because it's a companion fic and everything), I don't know if that's against the rules or anything. I'll have to ask Jan, but thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I'm so glad that you like it really.
When Harry appears at the Welcoming Feast wearing a glamor only Snape notices, Snape decides to find out what the glamor is hiding. His investigation leads to a number of shocking revelations---both about The Boy Who Lived, and about Snape's understanding of himself. Sixth year AU.

- This is very well written. I like the intensity as well as the extremely believable dialog. The only concern I have is the use of present tense. You're doing quite well with it, but present tense can be very difficult to sustain over a long period.
Your Snape and Harry are both much in character. I loved Harry's reasoning behind why he doesn't want to know whether or not Dumbledore really knew about what the Dursleys were really like. And I very much hope that Snape is right about Dumbledore. Everyone has a different "take" on what Dumbledore is like. Actually, I think he's more like you have Snape describe him. And if anyone should know, it would be Snape.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. You're not wrong about everyone having a different take on Dumbledore---but I have very firm opinions about what I think he's like and what he's capable of. And, not to give too much away, but I usually stick my opinions in Snape's mouth, so make of that what you will. :-)
Incidentally, I write in the present tense so much that nowadays I find it almost impossible to write past tense---I keep slipping back into present without noticing. :)| Title: Chapter 4: Confession and Absolution | 28 Jun 2007 |

- I really like the way you did Dumbledore. Finally! Someone writes this kind of story and has Dumbledore respond the way I think canon Dumbledore would respond. And your Dumbledore's voice is very IC. You really have gotten all the voices just right.

- Your characterization of Snape is spot on. Well done. There are really very few writers who catch his voice this well. And you get Dumbledore *just* as well. I particularly liked Dumbledore getting so amused at the idea of putting Snape at the Dursleys. And this line was excellent for its insight:
"He thinks you do not care, so he is frank with you."
I like that, because it lays a good foundation/explanation for Harry opening up to Snape.

- I very much admire the restraint you showed in writing this scene in the way you did. So many times this kind of scene is pushed too far, with the responses of the "avenging" wizards (usually Snape or Sirius), way over the top. But you've been so careful to make Dumbledore's reponse so, well -- *right.* And Snape only "loses it" just a little at the end. Really well done scene!

- Not only did you write a wonderful story, you had an excellent ending! I do hope you continue to write and put more of your stories online for us to read.
Snape and Harry are locked in the Room of Requirement by Dumbledore. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other? In response to the 72-Hour Challenge.

- I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like this chapter, but by the end of it, I really did like it a lot. I'm curious to see where you go from here.

- Another interesting chapter. At this point, I'm starting to lose patience with Harry. He made such a huge deal out of touching his scar, as though Snape should have realized it would cause him pain, but even Harry said it hadn't happened before. And Harry calculates what to say to be more and more hurtful. Sure, Snape has been insulting to Harry as well. But in a way, Harry seems to be looking for the stuff that will hurt the most - at Snape's greatest vulnerabilities. Odd. If Harry *knows* that Dumbledore's trust and consideration is really important to Snape, wouldn't that be something positive? Yet Harry just uses it to try and hurt him.
Author's Response: My feeling is that Harry and Snape are both starting to go slightly stir-crazy in the Room, and so are starting to act out. I don't think Snape would have touched Harry's scar, or Harry been so vicious towards Snape, otherwise. We'll see how Harry feels about Snape after Veritaserum, I guess.
