    I like the simple language in Toby's letter. Simple and personal believeable that a character like Toby wrote it.

    Harry is too cute... *squee*

    Severus is awsome! He is so paternally protective (not sure if that is the right word.) Believe you me your characterisaton of Snape portrays him as a daddy you don't want to cross. Thought it interesting that you gave him the Healers Mastery.

    One question. You said Toby was an ex - sergant. of what? I'm confused.

    Oh and can I keep your Harry....

    ... pur - please....

    (PS - I had to write this review three tmes cause I kept forgetting to type in those silly security numbers. Be glad you are getting this review. Usually don't bother. Maybe I should just sign in next time!)

    Author's Response:

    Aww, thanks and I know about the security code, one time I forgot & couldn't read all the strange numbers.  The letter--I'm glad I got it right, I agonized over it for a long time before I actually sat down & wrote it out! 

    Sev is very paternal & prtective (yes that's the right word).  If you hurt his son, you are basically dead.  And I wanted to do something different from the norm here when I gave him his occupation, so I opted for Potions Master (since I just can't see him as not being one) and a Healer.  It just made sense. 

    Tobias is an ex army sergeant, I mentioned it briefly a few chapters back, I'll be bringing in up again. 

    Yeah I want to keep Harry too! *hugs him*!!

    Harry was adorable!

    The next chapter sounds great already and I can't wait to read it.

    I love this story!

    Author's Response: Yeah, he's based off of my nephew, who can be either really cute or a huge pain in the neck, depending on the mood he's in! LOL!  I should be posting the next chapter sometime tonight! So glad you're enjoying this!

    This chapter was too cute! Humongous Harry-eating monsters lol. *hugs Harry* I loved the playful-ness between father and son, it was so sweet. It's nice to see that though they went through some drama last chapter they still have time to be a happy family. I'm also glad that Severus might give Tobias another chance, Harry really loves his grandpa and it'd be sad if he didn't get to see him again. I can't wait for the next chapter, so please post again soon!.

    P.S. I agree with your last comment, Sev has too much going on right now for a relationship, but I look forward to a sequel!

    Author's Response: I loved the monster game when I was little and played it with my nieces and nephews.  And eventually Sev & Toby will come to some kind of arrangement, because Sev doesn't want to deprive Harry of his grandpa.

    Such a sweet chapter :) I loved the little bits of father/son humor, and this line especially made me smile: "Is not. I'm just not tired," grumbled his son. "You don't have to stand here, Daddy. You can go back and sit down."

    **LOL...Perfect reaction. And unfortunately, I think I hear that on a daily basis from teenagers... "You don't have to stand over me, I'm putting my phone away..." *rolls eyes*

    Wonderful, cute chapter. I loved it :)

    Author's Response: Yes, I know what you mean! When i taught seventh grade it was, okay, okay I'm putting my pager away since they didn't have cell phones back in 93!  So glad you liked Sev and Harry playing!

    I must say, I am pleasantly surprised by this story. I generally dislike spanking fics, and even though I think it could have been avoided, in your story it actually has a function. Well done, you are one of the few to actually have a plot.

    I am rather annoyed by the callous way Severus is treated by everyone, though. The poor man just woke up from a coma and everyone is on his case about him forgiving his father. There seems to be little or no validation of his feelings whatsoever - 'well yeah, too bad your father abused you, now get over it and reconcile' seems to be the general attitude. No wonder he is rebelling against the very thought. Not to mention that Tobias obviously cannot be trusted. This time it was only a bruised cheek, who knows what will happen next time?

    anyway, any fic that can draw such an emotional response from readers definitely has very strong points. I think I will actually keep reading this one.

    Author's Response:

    Why thank you very much and normally I don't write much CP either, I tend to avoid it, but for this story, since one of the major themes in it is abuse vs. discipline, it was something I had to put in there.  As for Severus, he is not totally unsupported in his views, his friend Matthew will stand by him now that he has learned Sev does have a valid reason for not trusting his father and so will the intern Amy Turner (who doesn't have all that big a part to play)

    As for the Tobias and Severus relationship, it eventually will come to some kind of resolution, but perhaps not the one either expected.  Severus certainly will not become all warm and fuzzy towards him, but may eventually allow his father to see Harry while he is with him, but not alone.
