    Are you sure Aunt Muriel isn't some distant relation to the Dursleys' Aunt Marge? She certainly seems to have the same delightful social skills!

    Author's Response:

    You're right. She and MArge could certainly be related. Only Muriel is foul to everyone, Marge just to HArry. Both were certainly standing behind the door when God gave out social skills.

    Thanks for reviewing again.

    I am PROFOUNDLY glad that Harry and Severus are FINALLY getting closer!Dare we hope that's an AR (Alan Rickman) reference in that last line: "...his new father's talent for acting a part" ? Love it!

    Author's Response:

    Hi Loya, Thank you for reviewing. Yes, it has taken a long time, but I have a horror of doing with Sev what you mentioned in your PM...turning him into a fluffy bunny. mThere are way too many of those stories out there, but I concede that perhaps in my zeal, I might have gone to far the other way. Sev has been fighting his inner demons all along, but no matter how many times both sides of his brain battled with eacch other, he could never quite break through his own barriers.

    I will send a PM to you when i have  a little more time...I am desperately trying to get another chapter of my other story out because I left its readers dangling buy their fingertips and they are desperate. I want to discuss some of the points you brought up.

    And yes, you were right...it was a reference to AR. I love him. Such a brilliant actor.

    hey, good chapter! definitely worth the wait.

    one typo, I think - where you said "If everyone's horrified gaze had not been focused upon Harry instead of him, all of their mouths would have fallen open in fresh horror" - I think this shouuld be "focused on himself instead of Harry", it doesn't make sense the way you have it.

    keep on writing, this is a good fic!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for that. You were right. I have rectified the mistake.

    Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

    Oh wow! I absolutely love this story
    I've never been a fan of stories where Snape's Harry's dad because I don't like the idea of S/L but I love how you made a totally original plot that keeps everyone happy! Keep up the awesome writing

    Author's Response:

    Thank you. I am glad that I could come up with something that you are happy to read. I don't have a problem with Severus and Lily as a couple per se, but I hate the idea of JAmes not being part of the equation at all, and I hate stories where JAmes is a rotten adulterer and Lily goes to Sev for comfort, or where Lily is just a trollop and cheats with Sev anyway.

    Hence, this scenario, where nobody is a bad guy.

    I agree with both Harry (and Albus) and with Sev - I think it would makes things a lot easier if the Weasleys all find out about Harry and Sev, Molly and Arthur would be very happy for both of them and the twins especially would also approve - Hermione is going to figure it out anyway and Ginny would not have to keep it a secret. However Ron is going to be a problem he is not going to approve and he is going to say many bad things about Sev and Harry – he is going to be jealous Harry always gets everything that Ron wanted and the only thing that Ron has that Harry doesn’t is a family especially loving parents now Harry has a dad who loves him as well. Ron is also known to let his mouth run when he is angry and who knows when he is going to let this secret slip. However as it is still vacation Ron is still at home with his parents and Molly and Arthur will put him in line (hopefully).

    Author's Response:

    Yes, there are definitely pros and cons for both sides of the argument. And no solution is going to be 100% right. Severus' worries are very real, but so is the fact that Harry is incapable of dissimulation.

    And Ron may certainly be the spanner in the works, but Harry has ti pretty right when he says he is not exactly sure about how Ron will react in the beginning, but he is right when he says Ron won't turn away from him in the long term...and you are right, if the whole family is there to convince Ron before school starts, then he will have to come around.

    I am not sure that Ron feels he has one up on HArry by virtue of the fact that he has a family...we have seen often in canon that Ron has issues with his family at times, as most teens do. Ron isn't the slightest bit jealous of the fuss his mother in particular makes of Harry...he doesn't mind sharing because he is confident in his family's love.

    Thank you for your review.

    Oh wow, it was worth the wait. Are Harry and Severus EVER going to be able to tell the whole world about their relationship, and just be father and son?

    I hope at least that he relents and lets Harry tell the Weasleys!

    Please update soon; can't wait to see if and when they announce their relationship to the Weasleys.

    Author's Response:

    Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

    Thank you for taking the time to let me know.

    Nice to see you back, hope you had a good holiday. Good chapter especially enjoyed Harry and Dumbles ganging up on Severus. Thing is they all have good points, but I can see that its bound to come sometime anyway these things always do. Looking forward to more of your other fic too!

    Author's Response:

    I did have a lovely holiday, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.

    Muggle will still be about a week away I am afraid.
