    Yay! update!!!! *runs around screaming*

    ahem... now that thats over onto the actual reveiw!
    reat chapter! Loved the malfoy scene ;) oh and I loved the part where harry says " You pulled my trousers down" out of nowhere xD

    and damn it...I wanna punch snape right now -.-

    oh and I love your other story too =D just never got time to reveiw on it.

    Author's Response: LOL.  I'm happy you liked this chapter!  And my other story as well...  I kind of consider that a story I write to wind down from the challenge of writing this one.  Harry's randomness makes me smile as well.  I felt that the trousers thing would be something that would definitely bother Harry. Anyway, thanks very much for the review!

    the trust bit could be interesting. Its not difficult to gain trust once but it can be much harder to regain it if the trust is preceived to be broken. More soon?

    Author's Response: Very true.  Hopefully Severus doesn't blow it in the next chapter ;)  I'll update as soon as I can.  Thanks for the feedback!

    Poor Harry, being asked to leave like that. Your Dumbledore was so amusing. I loved him. Alas, a button! I wonder if he likes randomly giving out sweets to the children? Good chapter. This new twist of Harry feeling like his trust has been broken is an interesting turn of events.

    Author's Response: Hi Jan!  I didn't realize you were reading my story... Thanks very much for reviewing this chapter!  It's quite fun writing Dumbledore in a playful way.  I'm glad you liked that part. lol.  As for the 'random sweets' thing, I just always pictured Dumbledore with a supply of candy, mainly for himself and anyone else who will accept his offer.  As for the children, I think people would begin to see him as quite the nutter if he did that. lol.

    I just wanted to review the newly revised first chapter to say that it is, as you said, mostly the same with minor edits and all of that, but I also noticed that the writing on a whole is much stronger. Bravo, bravo! This truly is one of the best stories I've seen. :)

    Very enjoyable to read. One of those stories that you can re-read several times without it getting at all stale.

    Author's Response: Thanks, Katie!  I really didn't realize how 'off' this chapter was with the rest of my story until I went back and reread.  It was a bit embarassing, actually. lol.  I'm glad you think this one is better than the last.  I kind of sat there like, uh...no, Harry wouldn't cry during this scene, and Snape would definitely be shocked at himself for his reaction to Harry's cheek.  And I hadn't included that earlier.  *rolls eyes at self*  Anyway, I really appreciate your review of this chapter!  Thank you!

    Hi Jade. What a fabulous banner. And a fabulous chapter.
    Snape's slip into using Harry's given name was very credible. I think he would question himself about something like that. I noticed he didn't say it again in this chapter.
    However you decide to include the Snape-Malfoy interaction will be great. I am expecting a subtle, succinct, reference that implies much. Hopefully, in their ensuing conversation, Harry will learn that Snape did, indeed, punish Malfoy.
    I think Harry needs to learn that although a spanking is horrible at the time, and meant to be, he will survive and in all likelihood feel the "sting of Snape's palm" again. He is young, and will not grow up or change overnight. The revelation about Ron and the howler was a step in that direction. Perhaps Ron can help with this aspect as well as he's likely been smacked by one parent or the other.
    Looking forward to another update, from either story! Thank you for this chapter. Quinn

    Author's Response:

    Quinn,

    Thanks for the banner compliment!  SiriuslyMental made it for me.  She's very talented in that area :) 

    This story is so much more challenging to write than Starting from Scratch, but it's always good to be challenged once in a while...lol.  Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.  I think it would be quite out of character for Snape to use Harry's given name all of the time.  I love how you pointed it out, though, because it was meant to be a sort of moment-of-panic slip-up for Snape.

    I feel that when I asked the question about the Malfoy scene, many people figured that I was going to incorporate him into the story or create a Malfoy/Snape bonding chapter, but really, I wasn't.  I think I've decided how I'm going to handle the situation.  I've taken a subtle route with this story, and I'll most likely continue it when it comes to dealing with Draco.  ;)

    I don't think many realize that spanking is still used by parents as a deterrent in many households.  I'm not against it, so I suppose it doesn't seem as unnatural to me to incorporate it into my story.  And you're right: it's meant to be something Harry doesn't want to have happen again.  He's twelve, and he makes mistakes, and children often need constant reminding--lecturing and grounding doesn't always work. 

    But whether Harry realizes it or not, he needs comfort and reassurance after his punishment.  Hopefully Snape will provide it in his own Snape-like way.  It's odd writing such an emotionally-heavy chapter with Sirius and Harry and then turning around and trying to do the same thing, yet in a different way, with Harry and Snape.  lol.  It really wasn't intentional of me to run into two discipline scenes back-to-back with my stories.  I now need to put on my 'Sirius hat' to go into SfS mode.  *Bah-Dum-Chhing* Get it?

    Sorry for the bad joke.  lol.

    Anyway, you know how much I appreciate your amazingness, but let me say it again: thank you, thank you thaaaank you!

    ~Jade

    i really see how anyone could stop reading this story, it's really good.
    and i wouldn't mind if u did put in a Snape and Malfoy scene,.. just a small one, so we could know wat happens ;)

    anyways, great story! can't wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Well, thank you!  I think I've got a handle on how I'm going to deal with Draco.  Glad you're enjoying this story :)  I'll try to update soon!

    Poor Harry. He was probably so embarassed and I can understand that children feel a need for the adults in charge of them to be fair. Harry was also upset that he got punished and he thought that Malfoy was not going to be, although we know better! Harry is incredibly cute and Snape is sweet for comforting him and letting him stay there. Lovely chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, I wanted to show his embarassment and anger over the whole situation--feeling that he was being treated unfairly.  But you're right: we know what's really going on, and so does Snape.  Harry's punishment was more about cultivating him for later challenges in life, as well as teaching him to control his rash behavior.  Harry is quite cute, isn't he?  lol.  Thanks for the review!
