    Of course I forgive Harry - I actually thought he had a point there anyway!! LOL!!
    The conversation between Harry and Severus was absolutely terrific!! Slightly!Drunk!Severus is a gem - telling Harry stories about his mother, giving Harry a sense of Sev's own history without polishing it or apologizing for it or trying to excuse it - AWESOME!!
    Harry's apology, while slightly convoluted, was extremely heartfelt, and Severus realizing that Harry's self-worth meter is set at Minus-1-million made me tear up a little!!

    Really a tremendous chapter - I'm feeling at this point that there is a good chance that Harry and Severus will be able to develop a strong positive relationship, even given all the baggage they are both carrying into it!!

    Thanks,
    Scarlett

    Author's Response: Well, I though Harry had a point too. :) And there's nothing I enjoy more than getting my characters drunk. Unless it's giving them a hangover.

    Excellent chapter like usual! Did Snape say Vernon was still there...? That won't turn out pretty if he decides to pop in again. Keep up the excellent writing and add another chapter soon!

    Awww...I'm looking forward to the next chapter!! I really like how you depict Snape and Harry together, but I'm in desprate need of Harry to return to classes so there can be some more drama in Potions. I don't know why, but I like Snape when he's not too protective either, but after Uncle Vernon's attack was perfectly characterized. Keep it up! This is awesome in every way and I can't wait for the next installment.

    Author's Response: Well, there won't be a lack of drama to come but Potions is going to be relatively tame from now on, Dumbledore's seen to that.

    Brilliant chapter. I can't seem to get the image out of my head of Snape listening to the Rolling Stones. lol. It's insane how much I look forward to updates for this story. lol. Will there be any more Luna scenes in the future?

    Author's Response: Luna will be a significant part of the next chapter. :)

    Many things to like in this chapter. One that particularly struck me was Snape's comments below:

    "I have learned to be all the things that I am. I do not aspire to unity."

    Readers often argue about how Snape could be one way, yet another at the same time. Is any of it acting? Should we not believe the negative parts? The positive aspects? I like the way you have Snape explain it. It rings true.

    I'm glad you're going to have Harry see the confrontation in the Great Hall. To me, this is a lot of where Snape's courage is so much more than Gryffindor bravery. Canon Snape is willing to have some of the things most important to him -- respect, trust, etc. -- stripped away for the sake of his mission. I would think a confrontation in front of the whole school where Snape has to appear in disgrace before Dumbledore would be difficult for him.

    Author's Response: I don't Snape could be a successful spy if he didn't have a highly compartmentalized personality. This may make him great at his job, but alas, it isn't conducive to emotional health.

    I loved this chapter (again - I've loved every single one of them). Snape waking up with hangover was one of the funniest things I've read for a long time. I particularly loved it when he dropped the hangover potion and just summoned it again without even opening his eyes! Brilliant.
    Although the conversation they had the previous evening was so good too that I can't decide whether I prefer drunk Snape or hungover Snape or sobered-up-and-mortified Snape. They are all just wonderful.
    But what I really love is the way the 'commentary' works to show the two characters' completely subjective and contrasting ideas of what is going on and what each other are thinking. And that you manage to do this completely convincingly without once 'overdoing' it. It really is as if you are letting us see through their eyes, think with thier minds, hear with their ears. Marvellous stuff. Thank you.

    Author's Response:

    Branwyn: She likes you hungover.

    Snape: *grunt*

    Branwyn: Everyone likes to see you suffer.

    Snape: Then I hope she's taking a good look at me now.
