Uncle toby is a great idea. He can sign all sorts of things for Harry and even send him birthday and Christmas presents.
Trust Hagdrid to defend Seversus. He may not be the brightest of students, but he has a good, kind and seeing heart.
Author's Response: Yes, and Harry will be seeing a lot of "Uncle Toby" in the following chapter and throughout the book. And Hagrid sees clearer than most Seers do, and I felt he was just the one to defend Sev since Harry couldn't do it without blowing his cover!
Keep it up. I liked the chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, Christmas is up next.

Great chapter,I loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks, please read some more!
I really liked this chapter, also as a side note I am also nearsighted, without my glasses the world is just one big blur of color. I've had them since the fourth grade.
Author's Response: I know the feeling, I've had them since I was two and can't see two feet in front of me without them. Happy you're enjoying this.
While the detention was gruesome enough to deter them (temporary) from any adventures in the near future I think Harry was punished more by having Sev be disappointed in him. Sev did what a good father should do give a good smack and then hug him like he never wanted to let him go and then tell him he is forgiven. I never considered that Sev could have been burnt or injured during Hermione’s distraction, that is a good addition. I like Minerva’s character I am getting the impression that the same way Sev is Harry’s Guardian Angel , Minerva was/is Sev’s Guardian Angel
Author's Response: Yes, he was, and the disappointment will be remembered long after the detention. Severus is trying very hard to give Harry the love and affection he never had and so far he is succeeding. I figured it made sense that Sev would have gotten burned during that part, since it was real fire, though summoned magically. And you're right about Minerva, she has appointed herself Sev's guardian, much as he might insist he doesn't need one, secretly he enjoys having someone else care about him. She sort of takes the place of Eileen.

Loved it! The detention was well done and not too mean and the match was brilliantly described. I could feel everything especially Severus's spellcasting. I like the way you dscribed how he focused totally on his goal. And Minerva forcing him to take care of himself is just too funny. But he needs it, since he tends to neglect himself in his concern over Harry.
Author's Response: I really liked doing Snape's point of view there and as for Minerva, she has now decided to take Sev under he wing, so to speak, and you're right, he does need it!
"Troublemakers Three!" Loved that description. The detention was nasty, but deserved! The Quidditch match was great, I'm loving this one every bit as much as I did Heir and Never Again! The part with the essay and Harry saying the only one who would care if he died was Severus nearly made me cry! Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: Thanks and yeah, the essay was quite sad, seeing as it was also true, however.

This story is turning out to be jsut as good as Heir was! I love the interaction between Harry and Snape and the way Severus loves to scold and then hug him. And Harry is so endearingly innocent at this age. The self defense lessons sound great and the detention was brilliant! Keep it going!
Author's Response: Thanks I'm glad you're enjoying this as much as you did Heir.
I will DEFINTELY keep reading Snapegirl, and I anxiously await the sequel, if you write one, to the Heir of Prince Manner!! I'm tingling with anticipation!!! So get writing!!! Pretty please with sugar on top!!! ;)
Author's Response: Yes, I am most likely going to do a sequel to that one, and right now I'm working on the next chapter of Angel. it should be finished sometime tonight or tomorrow since I'm off tomorrow!
