It's quite possible that they *are* doing it for Harry's enjoyment, but since Snape's incapable of showing approval and he no longer trusts Lupin, Harry doesn't think so.

I can't believe I missed two chapters of this story...!
I enjoy POV stories, and Rowling herself is an expert at misdirection. I don't know if you are trying for that or not, and I suppose you'd rather not say.

I was very happy to see your update. In fact, I went back to the beginning and read the entire story again. When Harry finally learns the truth, he will have more to remember than his failure to drink the potion. There was the way that Petunia acted when she saw Snape, the ministry paternity test, snape's boggsrt being sirius reaching for Harry. If Harry wasn't so depressed, I think he would already being putting some things together. I hope you find time to write because this is really a very good story.

I am glad u are back to writing - I love ur stories - both "Three Times Trouble" and this one. Your stories are different from all the others and you write the characters really, really IC - which I love but you develop them as well gradually - naturally. The best part is that they develop as a result of things happening with them so it does not get boring where a character just sits and broods.
I suppose that this chapter has brought out a question on Lupin's health - is he really dying even without the poison?
I have not yet understood as to why the Ministry - or rather, under what excuse, the ministry decided to haul up both the sides - perhaps they decided to make out DA as another group or army which wanted to go against the Ministry.
Also, I am not sure how McGonagall and Snape survived it in that case. WHy were they not apprehended? Perhaps, they were apprehending everyone present in the Ministry. In that case, Kingsley,Tonks and the other order members who were present shd be under some disciplinary action? Or maybe, they were excused as aurors trying to work for Minsitry. AT least, in that case, other DA enlisted students would have gone free.
Lots of questions - about Harry and Snape as well - does not really look like a SS/LE case though I really do hope Harry's birth did not involve capture of Lily and rape - I hate those stories and I really like your stories. Ofcourse, the question is if he is even Snape's and Lily's son - may be he is just someone else's. Given that Snape is gay ( or is shown to be till this point), who knows? Of course, except you.
Love the story - please do keep updating.
Author's Response: I enjoy developing the characters most of all. It's always more interesting for me to see characters change in response to what happens to them, instead of having them inexplicably change their minds or feelings about something. All of these questions are great. They're all important to the plot and will get resolved eventually. I try to go for "things are not what they appear" whenever possible, since it's more fun. Harry's point of view is what skews a lot of the information that the reader receives. Even when info is handed to him, he can't put it together properly. There are good reasons why each of the people we saw harmed by the Ministry were targeted, and why others get only relatively minor harassment. No, I don't ever do rape/suicide/self harm and other themes like that. It's completely unnecessary in my opinion.
I must admit, that your story is not typical. But, I don't know... When I read it, I feel overwhelmed. Your Snape is OK, but your Harry is not Harry and Lupin sucks (sorry for expression but I can't stand him). Your story is too depress. When I read story, I always empathize with the main character, so when I read your story I feel too much solitude, emptiness injustice, unfairness. Harry shouldn't apologize Snape at Grimmuld Place, and he should be angry at Lupin. If I were him, I would told him "Fuck off" and demand Informations.
OKej my request.
"There are only two Severitus fics I know of that manage to keep Snape from becoming Mother of the Year and Harry from being a spineless puddle of goo, so we will see how my attempt goes"
Can you give me a links to this Severitusów?
Fantastic story! I hope you willl update soon!
