    At times, Lupin and Harry appear to know absolutely nothing about each other--perhaps accurately. Snape, however, knows what Harry's childhood was like, given the Occulmency lessons. So his insistence on Harry's ego, and Lupin's acceptance of it seem odd.

    Poor Lupin! Again he does *get* Harry, and expects things that don't come.

    (Yes, I'm rereading it.)

    I'm not sure Harry would try to make Lupin feel guilty about moving on; this suggests (1)Harry knew about the relationship with Sirius, and (2) Approved of it, neither of which are terribly likely. And...I thought Snape was straight?

    But the scene between Lupin and Harry is very good, and for once, Lupin shows some indication he understands adolescence--usually he and Snape appear to think that Harry should act like an adult, and they have both taught enough school to know how likely *that* is.

    So finally they tell him the truth, which seems like a plan. The withholding of the letter, though, seems like pure spite, given its contents.

    Author's Response:

    That's why it's AU. Snape can be straight in someone else's story. :-)

    I was planning to put in a Harry-finds-out-about-Sirius/Lupin scene, but it didn't fit anywhere. So the premise is that he knew, or suspected. Which doesn't man anyone else knows or suspects. I might still do something with it, so it isn't left hanging, if it fits in anywhere. Possibly when others find out that Snape and Lupin are pursuing a relationship.

    It beats me why Lupin and Snape think Harry's behaviour is unacceptable when they treat him like a dog. Snape didn't thank him for his work, yet bitches about Harry's rudeness? Way to model proper behaviour, Snivellus. Frankly, they are lucky he is not suicidal.

    More, please! I love this. The Snape and Lupin interaction is very well done and Harry's behaviour makes sense and is in character. Great fic.
    Thanks for the wonderful reading =)

    I feared you had abandoned this story, but this was a good, long chapter.

    On the adults v. Harry front, there's an arguments for giving both sides a good kicking.

    I take it the potion wasn't Polyjuice, even if they told him it was.

    Yay!! So Harry gets to see his friend. Hooray! I just hope that Ron makes it there in time. Poor Ginny, and Hadrian is probably not making a good impression on her or anyone. I find myself wishing that she and Hadrian actually get together. but I bet Ron would have a LOT to say about that! About Hadrian's appearance - I'm wondering if this is his true appearance or if it's a disguise. And if it is a disguise, who is it from? Lovely chapter. Thank you for the update!

    Author's Response:

    Well, I won't lie, Harry/Ginny is definitely not my thing, and I have other plans for Ginny. But she is going to have a part in this story. Yey for pirate!Ginny... who says an eye patch isn't a fashionable accessory? :-)

    Well, Harry's true appearance is a bit of a mystery, isn't it? According to the Severitus Challenge, his true appearance cannot *poof* into being, and must instead reveal itself over time. Besides, he hasn't reached his birthday yet, so his true appearance should not be making itself known at this point in time. All of which means... at some point after Harry's birthday, his appearance will begin changing into its true form. Which presents a bit of a problem, considering he is already disguised as Hadrian Snape.

    Glad you're still enjoying this fic. I felt like it lost its momentum in this chapter, so I'm trying to plot out the next one so that it's more forward-moving. It's really amusing how less than one day (well, one evening, one night, and half of a morning) took almost 5,000 words to describe.

    I was thrilled to see the update. This continues to be a great story. I feel so sorry for poor Harry. I am anxious to see how you develop the relationship between him and Severus. So far you have done a good job of depicting the tension. I hope RL lets you update soon and regularly. Thank you for your work on this story.

    Author's Response: Now that they're 'officially' father and son, I'm sure they'll have loads of opportunities to interact. I'm looking forward to that myself, actually. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far, and thanks for reviewing!
