    aww... :( I hope the next chapter or so will show Harry and severus spending some time together. They need time to bond again after the long separation! I'd be surprised if harry wants to let go of Severus for a second! Also, what happened with the D.E's and why is it safe for them to go home now?

    Author's Response: Yes they do indeed need some quality time as for the DE's they are still out there, but they're lying low since the Aurors are all over their ass, and you'll see why Sev and Harry can go back home, I'll explain more in the next chapter.  Thanks for your review, as always!

    Oh dear. On one hand I want to agree with Severus and wish he had cursed Tobias (he should have known better). On the other hand I just want him to be forgiven and they can be a happy family. I'm so torn.

    Great chapter and (as usual) I can't wait for the next one.

    So what do I think will happen now...I'm thinking that Harry left something at Tobias's house and Severus is going to have to retrieve it and they will talk a bit more? Or something horrid will happen to Tobias (hit by a car, accident at work...etc) and he'll end up in a hospital and Severus will have to go see him.

    Then again I could be wrong and you have something completly different planned. I sure it will be wonderful.

    Great chapter and please update soon.

    Author's Response: Hmmm . . .. those are very interesting thoughts and I'm not sure exactly what will happen next with Tobias.  I'm going to focus on Harry and Sev for some parts of the next chapter and then go back to Tobias.  You'll see when I post the next one!

    Poor Tobias. But every alcoholic has to learn the same lesson (some more than once) - it only takes one drink.

    I hope Harry insists on visiting his grandpa (and sometime in the future, I hope Severus realize that he can love Lily and still love someone else)

    Author's Response: It does and every alcoholic knows it.  And Harry will not abandon Tobias and as for Severus's love life, it will take a turn for the better!  Once he reconciles with his father, that is!

    That's the thing about alcoholics. They can stay on the wagon for years and do fine, but sooner or later they always fall off. All you can do is hope they'll climb back on again. Nobody with a history of getting drunk and hitting kids should ever be left alone with a kid--for both their sakes. Severus did the right thing. Until Tobias gets into AA and drops the so-called "friends" who drag him into pubs, he definitely doesn't need to be around Harry (or Severus, it's causing him too much stress too.) If Tobias decides to turn himself around--then supervised visits might be appropriate--maybe. The first priority in a case like this ALWAYS should be the safety of the child. You've done a very good job of portraying the effects of alcoholism on families and the difficult situations that alcoholics' relatives are in.

    Author's Response: Thanks very much and I agree with all your observations.  Children who are with recovering alcoholics need to be monitored to make sure that the adult isn't hurting them if they have a history of abuse or even if they don't.  I think Tobias will be going back to a few meetings and trying to win back Severus's trust.  I'm glad you find my portrayal so realistic, since I've been in a similar situation.

    Ahah ! Good job, Sev ! *not sorry for Tobias at all* Way to go ! Well I'm still a bit sorry for Harry, though...but they'll find a way, won't they ? ;-) And I hope that Tobias will really come to regret his actions... present and past !

    Author's Response: Oh he will believe me!  he's already begun to, but his willpower is not up to resisting alcohol, which is true of most alcoholics.

    AWWW I don't know which one of the three to feel sorrier for. I really hope Tobias doesn't start drinking again and that Harry convinces his dad somehow to let him see his grandpa again. They need each other even if they don't see it right now.

    Author's Response: That's true, and I'm torn myself into who I feel sorrier for, but hopefully it will all work out.
