    OK, So what did Shadow throw at the mirror this time and What specifically did Harry tell him to make him that upset?

    And Sev noticed that the break "eemed to come from the other side" Good. He needs to start noticing something odd is going on.

    Looking forward to your next update.

    The mirror will be explained next chapter; just bear in mind these two words; irrational teenager. They do weird things when they're upset... Next chapter shouldn't take too long! Thanks for reviewing!

    Great job, I liked how you handled the confrontation between them, it wasn't over the top. Both of them learned something and now they can improve their relationship. I like the way harry and Shadow are getting along too. Did Shadow break the mirror? And will we ever find out just what was in the black box?

    Author's Response: Thank you, that's nice to hear. Yes and yes to both your questions; the Shadow issue will be dealt with next chapter and the box one will be dealt with later on in the story (it's an important plot point after all!)

    and now he knows the truth!
    I can't wait for Harry's and Snape's conversation!(I assume they're having one in the morning?...! :P)

    Author's Response:

    Yes, indeed! However, I think Severus will protect Harry's privacy - remembering his own rather similar upbringing - and though they may touch on the subject, they won't necessarily talk it through until they know each other better. Hopefully you will like my method just as much! Thanks for reviewing!

    Oh, this was very enjoyable indeed. You manage to find so many new ways for old situations and interactions! Harry pulling one over Snape with his sleeping act. Snape sitting in his room at night. Just great!

    Author's Response: Thank you - it's so much fun being original and I'm glad you're enjoying it too!

    I definitely liked it. Sev was going to find out the truth about Harry's home life eventually, maybe it's better that it happened sooner rather than later. Poor Sev, an invader on his property, a grumpy Minerva in his house, having to clean up a mess and then discovering that things weren't what they had seemed; he has a lot of thinking ot do doesn't he?

    I do like your characterization of Severus and I love Shadow. He's a hoot and the idea of him and Harry teaming up to prank Sev just makes m grin in anticipation. You write very well and I'm looking forward to the next chapter. And I want Severus' library (not he dark arts books but the room. I'd love to have a large room to devote entirely to books).

    The best line was: His next words were said almost gently. “Next time don’t try to get out of writing about Austin’s second principle by simply leaving your work behind. Now, sleep. I expect to see you dressed by eight o’clock tomorrow.”

    Excellently done!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! Yes, Sev does have a lot of thinking to do, but it will be helped along by a bit of action in the next chapter! Hopefully you will like it - it requires a slightly softer side of Sev later in the chapter, but I don't want to overdo it, so please let me know if I've got him right when I finally post the next chapter.

    More Shadow next time as well - I'm glad you like him, I do too! That line was also my favourite:) Btw, be braced for a bit of angst coming up... just a little, though.

    Very exciting and very enjoyable! :P
    I like how you left the Dursley's fate somewhat of a mystery.. although I think it's safe to say they won't be returning home. I also like how Snape was informed of Harry's living arrangements with the Dursleys.. and I laughed a bit when he was just sitting in Harry's room.. staring lol
    Great job

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked the 'Privet Drive scene'. Yes, the Dursleys have now disappeared of into a less than favourable sunset, but I will eventually tell of their fate. heh heh - I did warn you in the previous chapter!

    Hey these are really really good. I blame a burned supper last night on you, began reading after getting home from your place and lost track, till the smell of scorching. You write really well, with some great archetypal/ psychological understandings, and as for the imagination ,I am so jealous. Cant wait for the next. Thanks for a great read

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! I am very sorry about your supper - it was most unfortunate! I hope you continue to enjoy my writings, minus the burnt supper of course!

    Author's Response: Thank you - I'll do my best about the chapters, but be warned - I might just be addicted to those cliffhangers!

    I love it when Snape realizes he was wrong about how Harry has lived up till the current moment. It's always a heart softner.Good work!

    Author's Response: Thank you - I love that moment too!

    This is my second time hitting it.

    I'm glad Minerva didn't try and attack severus for not coming immediately to Albus's summons. Really, Dumbeldore has gotten so used to people jumping when he sneezes that he forgets sometimes people have other priorities.
    I'm glad severus found out the truth, or part of it, about Harry's past and maybe will discuss it with him sometime?

    hint?

    And will we find out what happened with the Dursleys? I hope so!

    BTW, have you seen my new fic with harry and the puppy? I just posted a new chapter, so if you're in the mood to read something that's not really sad, like Shadows, check out HP Dogsitter, it'll make you smile!

    Author's Response:

    Yay! That's nice to hear! Minerva may have something to say to Sev later on, but she understands where he's coming from. Dumbledore can be troublesome, but I like the idea of the 'granpa' figure too much to make mine more than only a little conniving - I certainly wouldn't write him callous, it kind of destroys some of the magic! I think Sev will have something big thinking to do, but, be warned, he's a creature of habit...

    The Dursleys will appear again, they just may take some time. Drat! I meant to review that earlier today... It is amazing, I shall just go and find it again!
