    Oh, bravo! I loved so much about this chapter! Harry's appreciation of the gloves, Ron's interactions with Snape and Snape casting charms on both of the boys. So very sweet.

    The coupons are a brilliant idea! I can't wait to see what situation Snape would want to use one.

    Author's Response: Snape is going to save them for some very important moments, and that's all I can say ;)  Thanks for your kind words.

    Awww, I love your rendition of Snape and how this Christmas was so...awkward for him. It was great! Keep updating, I can't wait to read more. One question, are you going to include important cannon events and reletively follow the same plot at the original story? Then, are you going to continue through the entire series or change it and go off on your own plot line? I was really surprised to find that I like this fanfic-most with Harry young arn't that great, but yours is amazing!!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much!  I started this fic with first year Harry because it was my first fic in the fandom and I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull off a reconciliation between the two after years of negativity.  Plus there were some actions I want for Harry that are far more natural to an 11 year old than a 15 or 16 year old.

    I do intend on roughly following the plot of the first book.  The search for Flammel and the Stone will play a background part.  But only a background.

    As for what happens after first year -- if there's enough interest I'll likely continue.

    Lovely. Your invention of a friends child instead of Draco having the room helps keep the focus on Snape and Harry. So Snape knows about children because he was once close to one.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  While I felt bad for denying canon and the Draco aspect thereof, I do tend to prefer stories that stick to Harry and Snape.  Making it another child, one that was deceased, gave Snape some angst opportunity as well.

    YOu did a very nice job with this making it heart warming without being so saccarine that I had a sugar rush. ;-) And I really liked how you portrayed Ron. I always hate it when Ron is a complete git. If he had had pleasant contact with Slytherins at age 11, some of his prejudice would have been softened.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you liked Ron.  I think it's too easy to have him be a complete arse.  He's more complex than that.  Plus, I think a lot of people portray him that way because it makes built-in conflict.  I wanted Harry's conflict to *not* come from his friends.

    Great chapter!! I think this one is my favorite so far, and I've enjoyed every single chapter :) I love how you described Snape's emotions as Harry unwrapped his gift. And I'm so glad Severus showed Ron some compassion in this chapter as well. I've really been looking forward to an uupdate this story! Thank you!

    Author's Response:

    It took me a while to get to it, but once I started writing that chapter was one of the easiest and most fulfilling.  I'm glad you liked it so much.

     

    And yes, I wanted Severus and Ron to sort of get along and not fall into cliched behaviour.

    The first two lines had me rolling! ^v^ Poor Sevy and his mental loss.

    This was such a sweet chapter hun ^-^ I'll be able to keep smileing for the rest of the day now ^-^

    P.S Harry's coupons? Classic! ^v^ !!!

    Author's Response:

    Heh, the funny thing is, Severus was quite serious about his conviction that he was losing his mind.  As he said -- there was no other explanation.  Except maybe that he cares a little more than he wants to let on ;)

     

    Glad you enjoyed it so. And especially glad you liked the coupons.  It was quite tough to think of what Harry could give his teacher that the man wouldn't already have.

    AAAAAGGGHHH. Just give up already, Severus, WE KNOW YOU HAVE A SOFT CANDY CENTER. This was funny and touching in equal measure. :-)

    Author's Response:

    Hahaha he'll fight it till the end, and you know it.

     

    But yes, he does have a soft gooey centre.  The question is -- is it nouget or caramel?

    Glad you liked it!
