    In all the angst and guilt floating round in this chapter which i enjoyed, I loved the picture of Serverus jumping back in panic in case Remus hugged him! Very funny, I think they should go to the seaside picturing Sev in swimming trunks, lovely!

    "Severus held no delusions that Harry would not eventually discover him for who he truly was..."

    Oh Severus, still so insecure. Doesn't he see that Harry's pretty much well-acquainted with the worst side of him by now, and still wants to be his son? Will he ever recognize all the good that Harry sees in him too?

    Another amazing chapter. You write family so well. The joy and beauty and strength of love, but also the pain and hurt and vulnerability. I also loved that moment when Harry and Severus meet each other in the hallway after Harry's outburst of anger in the potions lab... and Harry's thinking about something more meaningful to say than "I'm going to the loo"... and you can tell Severus is trying to think of something more meaningful to say too, but can only think of, "I'm going to the lab." In some key respects they're so similar, and that's including their insecurities about being loved and accepted. Hugs for both of them.

    I'm so glad it was made clear to Remus, too, that he's the honorary godfather. Maybe that will give him a confidence boost when it comes to reconciling with Tonks (you will have them reconcile, right? Please?)

    Can't wait for the next chapter - how things will work out with Sirius, whether Remus and Tonks will start desperately snogging, and where Harry will choose to go on a holiday.

    Excellent chapter. Beautifully written, full of emotion.

    Loved Remus' confessing of his worries about his place in Harry's affection!

    Oh, again you have bowled me over with your writing skills. I just get completely absorbed in the emotions of the characters, that I forget that it is just a story!

    I can't wait for the next update. I really hope that Harry and Severus can really finally just be father and son. Yes, they definitely do need a holiday!

    Can't wait for the Tonks and Reums confrontation, and the Sirius, Harry, Severus confronataion. Oh my!! Let's
    just say that I can't wait to read the next chapter!!!!

    Author's Response: Thanks Pandora!  LOL  I forget it's a story al the time.  Especially, when Harry and Sev force me to do things I never planned to do.  LOL

    By all that is merciful, they all need therapy. Even Freud couldn't help this group.

    Great chapter. Hopefully, a holiday away from everyone and everything will get these two to talk about love and forgiveness.

    Author's Response:

    Maybe they can go back in time and get his opinion.  LOL    Oh well, guess they'll just have to make do.

    Oh, wow...every chapter I say how bad I feel for all three of our boys, but I always mean it. The adjustment period is so rough for them, which is to be expected really. I think you're doing a fabulous job of showing us a realistic version of what would happen if Sirius were to come back and find that Harry and Severus have bonded and become close. It's a very hard thing for him to believe and accept. It's a huge loss to Sirius, and he's got to grieve for the lost relationship with Harry. He can't see yet that their relationship can be as strong as ever. Also, I imagine that he is honestly concerned about whether Severus' change of heart is genuine and lasting. We all know that it is, but everything is still so new to Sirius that he doesn't know what to think. I feel very sorry for him, but at the same time, I am angry with him, too, because though his feelings are understandable, he should have realised that confronting Harry...a young person who is very emotionally involved and particularly vulnerable right now...was not the way to handle the situation.

    I feel badly for Severus because he is very remorseful about the past. I'd venture to say that he's tormented by it, when he lets himself dwell on how he mistreated Harry and on how his action allowed Harry to be mistreated by others.

    But I really feel the worst for Harry here. He loves both Sirius and Severus, and though of course Severus comes first, he still feels torn between them, plus Sirius just threw all the lingering resentments and doubts that he'd buried into his face, and now he and Severus are going to have to face them...though that's really the best thing for them in the long run, I'm sure.

    Well, anyway, fantastic chapter and I'm so eager for more!

    First of all, major hugs for you! I'm so happy and relieved that you posted the past two chapters. I nearly cried when I thought that this story would end. Thank you for pulling through!
    I knew Harry would have some sort blow out due to all this supressed anger he's been pushing aside. But, wow. Poor, poor, Sirius. His realization of all the changes around him has been so painful.
    You've done a fabulous job of showing the commitment and love that Sev and Harry have for each other. Their relationship and the trials they face are what bring me back to this story. I hope Sev can help Harry and Sirius rebuild their relationship. I also hope that you intend to shed some light onto the Remus/Tonks relationship. What's going on there?!

    Glad you're back!

    WOW As awful as it is to say, I really think that Sirius had that coming. He needed something shocking to make him finally realize that Harry and Severus do really care for each other as a family. While that may not diminish what Sirius is to Harry, Sirius is going to have to come to the realization that Harry needs and wants Severus in his life. Awesome awesome chapter. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Harry deals with this latest emotional breakdown, and what Severus is going to do about all the accidental magic. Keep up the great work and please please update again soon. LES
