Thank you!  Well, yes, there are some aspects of the slavery spell that they do still need to discuss.  But truthfully, the spell isn't affecting Harry , at least not in practical ways, for a couple of reasons.  One, he really hasn't done anything to test it, and if I knew that I would be killed or likely suffer terribly if I broke any of its rules, I don't believe I'd be testing it either, lol!  Seriously, I think 'my' spell is not as restrictive as others possibly.  I don't have any desire to write about Harry being in a lot of pain, or being degraded or humiliated.  The part back when his lungs were burned was very hard for me to write, and I probably wouldn't have except that I though it was important for Severus' change of heart.  But the story has always been intended to be more about Harry's emotional wounds and healing.  I don't know if I'm portraying it well...it might be a failing on my part...but Harry is still hurt and affected by the spell, but at the same time, he is starting to heal, too.  He is happy with Severus, though he wishes they weren't bound by a slavery spell, but only by adoption.  Harry doesn't consciously think about the spell all the time now.  He is trying to move on with life, but it is always in the back of his mind, affecting the way he thinks of himself and the way he perceives others as seeing him.  There will be some more angst directly related to the slavery spell later on, too. 

There is another reason, too, why the spell doesn't act directly or physically right now...but I'm not getting into that for a while yet, lol!

Thanks again!
