    Poor Harry. *hugs* He's just so insecure in their relationship still. Harry needs to talk to Sev about his insecurities. They're perfectly normal, and I bet Severus just can't quite pinpoint what's wrong with Harry.

    The situation with Draco is at a bad time for Harry. I know it's tough knowing that Draco is good at potions and has always had a relationship with Severus. While Draco really needs Severus right now, it's hard for Harry to realize that the extra attention is a necessity not a choice of Draco over Harry.

    I knew Hedwig would think of polyjuice or glamours. *Pats self on back* I'm glad that the quidditch tickets issue was at least addressed. That's one thing off Harry's shoulders.

    Great chapter, and I can't wait for more.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yeah, you've described exactly what's going on with Harry and Severus right now.  They need to have a long heart-to-heart, don't they?

    I love they way ron responds,"biggest load of crap, are you mental?" Snape loves harry but so do ron and hermione, now harry just has to believe it. Great chapter.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, Ron does have a way with words, lol!  And yes, he and Hermione love Harry.  Despite all the tragedies and difficulties in Harry's life, he is very blessed to have people who love him so much, too.

    Great chapter. Poor Sev, Harry's going to lay into him--and he really does have to get back into the real world.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yeah, Harry does need to get back to the real world, but he's just not ready yet.

    Great chapter, Kristeh. I really felt Harry's emotional turmoil. Poor kid has some issues he needs to resolve from years worth of the Dursleys' treatment towards him and the slavery spell. It's not surprising Harry has doubts about Severus' commitment to him at all.

    I love the idea of the little presents every morning. Very cool and shows Harry how much Severus cares for him. I'm sure Severus meant well with the Quidditch tickets. They may be a little push towards going back out into the world, but it's for something that Harry will really enjoy. Plus, everyone should be focused on the match rather than Harry. Maybe Sev has some polyjuice plans to make Harry feel more comfortable? I'm looking forward to seeing where you're going to take that and how Harry and Sev will handle it.

    As much as Draco is a villain in this story, I can't help but feel for him as well. He's been forced to live through horrible things that no teenager ever should. I hope with the realization that Draco and Harry both have suffered witnessing their mother's death, they may find some peace between each other. I still think Draco might be the one to figure out a reversal to Harry's slavery spell, so I hope he'll be included in that soon. He's rather bright, and sometimes that gets overlooked.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you, Ella!  Yeah, I think Harry would have some deep-seated insecurities after all those years of being unwanted and unloved.  It takes time and lots and lots of reassurances to heal from that. 

    >>>I love the idea of the little presents every morning. 

    Thank you.  The idea of Severus giving Harry a little gift and them pretending it was from Hedwig was one of the first ideas I had for this story way back in its planning stages.  I'm happy you like it.

    Interesting idea about Draco helping find a solution to the slavery spell!

    This is so exciting! In no way to insult your writing, which I really truly love and enjoy, but this is the first chapter in a while of Slave Child that I have been anxious to see where the plot goes. I've always loved your character development, but the combination of character development and intrigue is where I go crazy in this fic. I'm part of your yahoo group, and I read your alert after reading this chapter and understood completely. I feel like this chapter melds beautifully with previous chapters, all of them being excellent, but this one has some extra dimension and dynamic. I can't wait!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter.  As I just wrote below, the past few chapters have been more of a struggle, it just seemed an awkward stage in the story, but I think we're moving beyond that part now, and I'm feeling more excited about the upcoming chapters again, so hopefully we'll all have fun reading and writing again!

    Yay! Good for you, getting your mojo back ^-^ Cant wait to see where it leads you... and us ^-^

    And I love Harry's turmoil in this one, you've always written his emotions extremely well and I'm looking forward to the way he handles (or doesnt as the case may be) his feelings, both about the tickets and Draco. I was reflecting in this chapter the way I felt about the previous one and I think I may have been a little harsh on Draco - especially considering his mum - but I think all of these events may prove to be a good opportunity for him to lose the spoilt-ness... which is so a word ^^... and maybe even make some proper friends based on personality rather than allegiance or money. Out of interest, is Draco older or younger than Harry in this fic? They always tend to have an interesting dynamic and it'll be fascinating to see where you take it.
    Not to mention, I'm looking forward to the possibility of Draco finding out just how badly his spell effected Harry and his life as well as how hard Harry's life's really been... as much as it's more understandable at the moment because of what's going on for him, Draco's head has kind of always been stuck rather firmly up his own... special place ^-^

    Congratulations again for getting some inspiration and mojoeyness (again, SO a word ^^) back, I noticed the difference in your writing (it wasnt bad last chapter of course, this one just seemed to draw me in that much more)
    Good luck and I cant wait for more ^-^ (is it bad that I kinda like Harry going through the tumultuous stuff he tends to go through? You just write it so well and it's lovely seeing Snape all cuddly and full of D and Ms ^^)

    Thank you!  Everything you said about Draco is spot on...that's exactly what I would like to show with Draco.  Yeah, of course he's always been an obnoxious brat before; just look at his parents, lol!  But he does have a second chance now and he is already beginning to change a bit.  Is Draco older or younger?  Well, I don't know Draco's real birthday in canon (I guess I could look it up, but I haven't yet), but I'm figuring they're pretty close to the same age, give or take a few months.

    Thank you!  Yes, I enjoyed writing this chapter more.  Well, I've said that the past few chapters have been at an awkward stage in the story for me, also.  But we're getting beyond that and I feel on firmer ground with it again as well.    

    I'm anxiously awaiting chapter 14 of Antonomasia too!

    Poor Harry. He's going to have to face the world eventually.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, he does need to face the world, but he just doesn't feel up to it yet.  But he'll get there eventually...
