    Good chapter.

    Those coloring stones sound interesting, I don't think I've ever heard of them.

    Haha, Severus is ever the teacher, ""Organization is a key to receiving high marks," Severus passed him the next bag; its charmed removed so Harry could see a handful of binders and dividers lining the bag. "A different color binder for each subject to keep your notes and assignments in an orderly fashion." " That part made me smile.

    It looks like you did your research for the sizes. Yeah, I'm pretty good at picking out American sizes as well (I guess almost nine years of working at Kohl's will do that to you)

    I loved the scene with Hermoine, that was awesome!

    This sentence was the best, ""Why do you care?" Harry whispered" I am looking foward to you writing more. I really wanna know and to see the things Severus brought Harry for entertainment. Also looking forward to more agnst. Oh I was wrong before, the child in "Letters to God," has a brain tumor, not Leukemia, the review I read had it wrong. I've since read the book-an excellent read. I liked the return of Harry's insecurities. You are rather good at those cliffies.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, autumn!

    I found those coloring stones while I was looking up kindergarten sized pencils. They look like fun as long as you're not coloring in small spaces. Severus can't help but be a teacher, he's been one for well like 14 years.

    Ha, isn't it amazing how you can like look at a person and guess their size? Or how you seem someone take something and you just know by looking that it won't fit them whether too small or too big?

    Yay, I'm glad you liked the cliffy sentence ending. It just felt right to end it there.

    Love it, as always. My only complaint is that I want more. ;) But since you pretty regularly update, I'll be satisfied with that. Thank you so much for sharing. It really is a lovely story.

    Author's Response: More? How about tonight? Thanks!

    I wonder how Severus will answer that last question? It's really sad that Harry finds it difficult to believe that he can be cared, not only for, but by someone. I hope that Severus will be able to find the right words to reassure Harry that he does want and care about him. He got the clothes and other items, because he wants him to have everything he deserves.

    Author's Response: I don't know if Severus will find the right words, but he figured something out. Thanks!

    Poor Harry.
    It's so hard for him to believe that he is important to others just as he is.

    Author's Response: With the way his relatives treated him, it was just ingrained into his brain that he's worthless. He can say he doesn't think he's worthless, but those words stay with him. It'll take some time before he truly believes otherwise. Thanks!

    Thank you for the update! Brilliant chapter as always, mean cliffy though. Love Hermione's scene and the conversation between Harry and McGonagall. I think he needs to talk through things with someone that knows and McGonagall is a good choice. She's not a bias friend.

    Harry's size doesn't seem about right. I'm size 12, that's not small but not large. I don't know about men's, but very skinny or underweight women sizes are 6 or 8. Not that it matters too much.

    I'm very curious as to how Severus is going to answer that. Update soon? *Offers muffins* Pretty please?

    Fabs

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! It was a mean cliffy, but what can you do? It happens sometimes. ;) You're right that a size 12 is a medium size for women. Harry's clothes though are from the boys department, not mens, which according to my UK research is by age, so generally a 16 year old boy wears a 16. You probably skipped right over the word when you read it or read it, but didn't process it. ;) 

    Is tonight quick enough to still get muffins?

    Wow, thanks for update...
    Do you know someone who has same problems like Harry and isn't insecure? I love the part with Harry's concern about morphine.
    Now I'm waiting for Severus answer.
    Hermione's mum was excelent especialy her comment about finishing summer homerwork :o)
    Nice long chapter

    PS: I'm red, how could i write 3th. English isn't my native language but this was... so idiotic

    Author's Response: You're very welcome! I don't know someone who has the same problems as Harry, but I have a few friends that as teens had more problems than Harry, if that's even possible. lol. I can see some shades of that in Harry, but Harry is his own character. Thanks!

    I loved the update! I cant wait to see what Severus' answer is to Harry's question. It will be nice for them to have another chat. I also really liked how you had Hermione enter the story again, Im wondering if her Ron and will be talking soon about his visit with Harry though. Anyway, great job!!

    Author's Response: Thanks! You'll have your answer soon. We won't see Ron or Hermione in the next chapter, but we'll hear from Ron. ;)

    *Throws ball of paper at you* I wanna know Sev's answer!!!!!!! I really like this chapter and although its horrble that Harry has cancer, I love that you seem to be using it, in some ways, to rid Harry of the bad memories and training that his "relatives" (I do use that terms as well as muggles, people, human beings, and the like very loosely with them) beat in to him. Can't wait to see what happens next hopefully an appearance of Sev's parents before Harry and Sev have a really big tiff. I hope that Harry and Sev have a bit of getting along before another fight. Lovely chapter thank you for such a tragicly wonderful story.

    Author's Response: *Throws ball back* You'll get to know his answer very soon! I'm so, so happy you picked up on the fact that while Harry's cancer is a major storyline, it's not the whole plot, but part of a bigger journey. Harry and Sev will be getting along for a bit, at least in the next chapter. Thanks!
