    AAAAH YOU UPDAATED.

    here have some taffy. -hands-

    "This could be fun. Thought Harry."
    THIS DEPRESSED YOUU?

    it ends geniusly. I shall read it again. you should update...now..

    Author's Response: LOL thanks for the taffy, and the review. The ending didn't depress me at all, just the conversation beforehand with Snape, when Harry tells Sev that he lied to his teacher about the abuse. But no, the 'this could be fun' made me happy, too. Hehehehehehehe. :0)

    I would love to know when Harry is going to come to the realisation that Severus is on his side. I would also love to know why Harry is so adamant that Snape does not hurt the Dursleys. He knows Snape is responsible for the beating inflicted on Flint and was not upset about it. He hates his relatives and admits that they have done worse to him than Flint ever did, and more often, and yet, he is petrified of Severus giving them their commeuppance. Harry is pretty vindictive himself, but the Dursleys are off-limits. He says they are his family and yet, he hates them. And so, he is basically enabling the Dursleys to continue to be the vicious, petty, foul people that they are.

    What is Sinestra's problem with Harry? I am sure she must have started the war between them. HArry can be a foul little brat, but it's usually in retaliation for some slight or other. And I do wonder when Severus (and DD) are going to become suspicious of Quirrell. Is there a Philosopher's stone that the man is after?

    Great chapter as usual, though you did not address the question of where Percy Weasley had been when Harry was impersonating him. And I just loved this line...'Well that was...articulate. “I apologize, Mr. Potter, but I do not speak idiot. Try again.”'

    Author's Response: Hey, Lesley! As to your questions, I'm working on getting Harry to warm up to Sev, but I'm limited by the pace I've set. We're not even to Halloween yet (hence no info about Quirrel yet) and Harry's only known Sev for like a month and a half. I'm also trying to work (a little bit) with canon Harry, figuring that his treatment is different, but he's still the same guy genetically. It is common for children to protect abusive family members, whether or not they'll admit to disliking them. I cannot imagine Harry wanting them dead, and he is well aware that that is a possibility when Snape is involved. Thanks for the reminders about Sinestra and Percy. I'll work on getting explanations into the next chapter. I'm glad you liked this one. :-)

    That room was a brilliant idea. :) Have you study psychology? Sometimes I think that, because your characters and dialoques are so damn real ;) soory for language;)

    Author's Response: Thanks!! No, I haven't studied any psych, but I'm familiar with it. (At least to know that one wants a 'neutral' space for any sort of therapy and such, and some things about how kids respond to abuse.) Mostly I just know my characters. Thanks so much for the compliments, and you certainly don't have to guard your language with me. :0)

    Maybe that will be the thing that gets through to harry finally, spending time with Snape and seeing him as a person as well as a disciplinarian.

    It's kind of frustrating to see Sev always being rejected.

    And I'm wondering how it is that Harry doesn't hate his relatives for doing what they did to him. Why didn;t his magic act to protect him? Or maybe he just doean't want Snape to get in trouble if he goes after them?

    Personally, I love bashing Vernon, it's wickedly fun, because he's such a nasty evil man, can you tell I really hate chid abusers? And sadly. . . .so many of them walk free because they get off on technicalities.

    Author's Response: Yeah, hopefully now that Sev lets Harry just TALK, Harry'll be more open and more willing to listen, as well. We'll see. I understand your frustration, because I feel it, too, but speeding up the pace of their relationship just doesn't feel 'natural' enough to me right now. I'm doing what I can, but I, too, have to give Harry time. ____I don't know if Harry hates his relatives or not, honestly. I don't know if he knows, either. Most abused kids don't. ____ Don't worry. I'm sure Vernon bashing will eventually happen. It just might have to not be Snape. :-( And you're not going to hear me defending child abusers. I get seriously pissed when I hear of the number of times that the perps not only stay out of jail, but get their kids back.

    "If you do talk to me, you say what you want to. If you want to spend an hour throwing insults and curses at me, so be it. Nothing you say will get you in trouble."

    Oh boy - this should be good! *rubs hands in glee*

    Author's Response: LOL I think so, too. I wonder what Harry will have to say...

    Sinistra is definitely a harpy. And Sev is right, you can get polite or you can get the truth, and it's very seldom that hte two are compatible.

    I have liked every chapter of this fic and this one is no exception. As far as length, don't worry about it. chapters begin and end where they want to regardless of length.

    Is Sev going to take Harry to the Room of Requirement? Whether or not, I'm looking forward to the next chapter whenever your RL lets you get it done.

    Author's Response: Hey!!! Thanks for your support. I feel the same way - sometimes a chapter is just over, and there's not much I can do about it. Glad you like the chapter!! :0)

    It is sad that Harry is so well trained that he can't trust anyone. I have great hope for this latest scheme. Sev is very intelligent, he must figure out at some point that he needs to offer Harry some reason to trust him. Consistant behavior is great, but will take a very long time to build up trust.

    Author's Response: Yeah, I agree. I figured giving Harry some time to be with Sev, but relatively on his own terms, might help. We'll have to see. :-) Thanks for the review.

    Whoa-ho? What's this? A saucy Harry? That's a new one! I could totally get into this! Intriguing beginning!

    Author's Response: Thanks!! I hope you continue to like it as you read on!! Thanks so much for reviewing. I LOVE getting reviews from older chapters - they're really unexpected, and so really fun. :-)
