    "Not really means yes. What is it you want?"- Haha! I always tell people that. It can get annoying when they just won't tell you what they want. But then poor Harry's always been told he was a burden on everyone :( YAY Daddy Severus for being there! lol (He'd probably kill me if he heard me call him that)

    But I'm so glad that Harry and Severus are getting on so well now. Harry needs him and I think Severus needs Harry just as badly. It's just sad that it was cancer that brought them together...

    I like the playful snark they throw at each other. It makes me smile. ^_^ Wonderful chappie Ella! I'll have to read more when I get back from work tonight!!

    Author's Response:

    Not really always means yes! LOL. Otherwise, someone would say no. Uh oh, you better watch out! Daddy Severus? That won't fly with him. I'm happy to hear you like the playful snark. It's such a part of Sev's character, and I'm sure it'll continue to wear off on Harry. Thanks!

    Awww! You know that melting feeling you get when watching a really good family movie? Well, I have that feeling right now, only it doubled over like seven times!! Aww!!!

    Go Severus, go! While I'm glad Ron snapped Harry out of a funk for a moment, I'm also angry with Ron. Way to go Weasley!! But then, it would be pretty scary to see your best friend like that...but Severus came! XD How wonderful! And then he read LOTR!! I would KILL to have Alan Rickman read that to me...I mean Snape...XD

    Ten hundred thousand points to you for this chappie!! Wonderful chapter!!

    Author's Response:

    Yay! I'm glad you got that melting feeling! Say it again. Awww. ;) 

    Severus would be so awesome reading LOTR, especially considering you know he knows how to pronounce everything correctly. Don't be so angry with Ron. He was scared, and I'm sure he's paying for his actions.

    Ten hundred thousand points? Really? Awesome! Thanks!

    First off, sorry I haven't been keeping up, but I'm trying to make up for that now.

    But Harry passed potions? YAY!! That's great for him! Though I'm kinda sad he failed his history as I'm a history person. (But then his teacher's dreadful!) But Yay Harry!

    I'm glad that Harry's pushing back some of his resentment and anger towards Snape. He needs Severus and I'm happy that Severus is being so understanding. And he's even letter Ron come!! 0_0 That's a big step!

    Still loving the story Ella! I'm going on!!

    Author's Response:

    I understand Ivy. I've been pretty bad myself lately. I have this little problem of reading things on my phone before I fall asleep and then I totally forget to review the next day. Oops. 

    I'm a history person, too, but even the most interesting stuff in history can be super boring with a bad teacher, but really what's failing history when he passed Potions! Harry and Sev are taking big steps in their relationship, but they have a long ways to go. Thanks!

    Aww Harry! *hugs*
    oil? XD maybe gasoline for the car? :P

    Loving it so far can't wait to see how Sev thinks of a way to explain to Harry.

    Author's Response:

    Too bad you can't use the dispersant filled oil for your car. If so, I wouldn't have to buy gas for a long time. lol. ;) 

    You'll get to see Sev's explanation very soon. Thanks!

    I'm an apple maniac!! Apple pie!! and applesauce! is there seriously apple donuts? *drools*

    Love the treatment that Ron is getting (^-^)/

    I can't wait to see what Severus gets Harry. Perhaps it is just me but even at my age I love toys, crayons, coloring books, and definitely plushies!!

    Author's Response:

    There are seriously apple doughnuts, two different kinds in fact. One is an apple cider doughnut which is the one I was thinking of that is like a cake doughnut that's really good and the other kind is an apple filled doughnut. 

    You see a little what Harry gets in Chapter Thirty-Four, but a lot of it won't be revealed until Chapter Thirty-Six, but I can tell you that you got one of them right. ;) Thanks!

    What a lovely chapter! I really enjoyed reading about Severus' shoppping trip and all the details you wrote. It's really heartwarming to see Severus choosing all the pens and crayons, with grips, and then his dilemma trying to determine Harry's size for clothing. It shows how much he has come to care, that he wants Harry to have things that will be easy for him to handle, that fit just right and are comfortable. What a great dad, and it's about time Harry had someone who cares so much for him.

    I loved Harry's conversation with Minerva, and I think it's good for him to have her know about the situation (Severus being his father), and for her to be supportive. It's hard for Harry sometimes, because he is one of the parties intimately involved. But talking with Minerva helped him to see it more objectively (I hope) and she is someone whom he respects, so her opinion will carry some weight.

    It was also fun to read about Harry's pleasure in seeing his gifts, and that he is beginning to realize that Severus has changed and truly cares for him.

    Hermione has a wonderful relationship with her mum, too, which was nice to see.

    I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, and I hope Harry's new form of treatment will go well, though I'm concerned. Great job again!

    Author's Response:

    I agree. Sev's being a great dad, and it's certainly time Harry has someone looking out just for him. Minverva's opinion will certainly carry some weight. She knows both of them very well in different situations and it a good "outside" source that's able to see things without bias. 

    I wanted to show a bit of the relationship between Hermione and her parents. We never really get to see it in the books, they're just figures that are mentioned in passing. I mean she's like hardly ever even with them. lol. Thanks!

    Hi, I don't review all that much but this time I just had to. This is an amazing story! Your portrayal of Harry and Severus is touching yet so real. I love how Sev is coming to terms with Harry being his son. I just hope that Harry can accept it as well. I can't wait to hear the answer to Harry's question. Thank you for a wonderful story!

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! It's easier for Sev to come to terms with it since deep down he still has those emotions he felt for Harry buried somewhere, whereas Harry doesn't remember any of it. I'm sure Harry will come around eventually, but he needs a lot of repeated reassurance until he'll be able to accept it.

    You are right a sie 14 is a USA 12 very confusing! Thank you for updating loved the shopping trip and of curse the the cliffy

    Author's Response: The women's sizing isn't so confusing, compared to kids sizes. A size 16 in the UK for boys is like a lot bigger than a US boys size 16 according to the size charts I saw. I think the difference lies in the US expecting kids to get into and want to be in adult sizes by the time they're around 13/14 so a US boys size 16 is meant to fit a 14 year old instead of in the UK it's a 16 year old boy. If that wasn't confusing. lol. Thanks!
