    I think the attack was better. Keep your warm temps, though, please, as we were in the 90s here yesterday. I don't think I can handle extra degrees. ;-)

    Poor Harry! What a horrible thing to be going through. And at the same time, I love how his relationship with Severus is developing.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! Harry is going through horrible things and there's a few things yet that he'll have to face. He's tough though and I'm sure he'll continue to fight. 

    We're supposed to hit 89 again tomorrow. Ugh. I totally feel your pain.

    Snape owns a kitten! That's adorable! XD That's just about the cutest thing I've heard all week! Awwww! *squeal*

    Ahem, sorry about that. Anywho, so Sev blew is cover at the Ministry, eh? Hmm...and now Harry has to stay with Snape for the rest of the summer and he's lost so magic, eh? Hmm...sounds like a great plot to me! (with kittens!)

    This was really good! I liked the part where Snape went into his quarters and blew off Dobby, and didn't remember his name. That was great! XD And Sev's being a nice bastard...does that make sense? He wants to play mind games with Harry, but then helps the boy when he's so distressed...Wait a minute, does that mean he HAS a heart?! Holy crap! lol

    This was very good, and I can't wait until I have time to read more! Have a chocolate frog for doing so well! ^-^

    Author's Response:

    Ivy, I was so surprised to wake up and see that you reviewed! I was like yay! 

    Welcome to the wonderful joys of Flurry (the cat), which you'll learn about later. She has a story behind her, and I think you'll like it. I promise not to tell Sev that you said that was the cutest thing you've heard all week. lol. ;) I don't think he'd appreciate it.

    Harry hasn't much lost his magic, but it's just not working at the moment...

    Sev totally has a heart and you'll see more of it as you read. There's quite a few twists waiting for you, and I should be writing the next one right now but there's a program about Tolkien and LOTR on History right now. I am totally in geek heaven for the hour. lol. Thanks and I can't wait to see what you think as you read more.

    I liked the Beach, little Harry is adorable! Glad that Severus was able to get rid of Voldemort but I fear to see the next invasion.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I love little Harry, but I couldn't ever write a complete novel-length story with Harry as a little kid. I like the drama and possibilities that a teenage Harry brings. However, you'll see bits of a baby Harry in my fest fic. ;) Voldemort wasn't happy, that's for sure and we'll see how long he stays quiet. He hasn't told me his plans yet.

    I loved the vision. You did a really good job writing it. Hopefully Voldemort will keep his ugly head down after this. It looks like Occlumency is going to be easier for Harry this time.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not sure if Voldemort will keep his ugly head down. He hasn't informed me of his plans yet. ;) Occlumency is going to be loads easier for Harry this time. It's amazing what a difference it makes when both Harry and Severus wish to succeed.

    I am so happy that Snape was able to save Harry from Voldie's attack, and from the Dursleys.

    I'm happy also that Snape told Harry that he doesn't hate him anymore.

    I can't wait to read more about Flurry and I'm really looking forward to the next chappie. Great chappie as usual, Ella.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, Pandora!

    People say Harry has a saving people thing, but I think Sev has a saving Harry thing. ;) It was important for Harry to hear that Severus doesn't hate him, and I think this was the right moment for it. I'm not sure if Flurry will be in the next chapter or not, but there promises to be lots of Severus.

    Well this will take care of Sev having to be called as now voldie knows that he is protecting Harry.

    Author's Response: I think Voldemort won't give up summoning Snape just because he knows he's protecting Harry. Voldemort likes to torture people, and he won't give up that opportunity while he has the chance. Thanks!

    Your doing great, I like the attack just being an attack, it shows that Volde is just cruel and not winning focused.

    I have no cold weather yet but lots of rain when it hit -1 Celsius I will happily send it your way. Post soon

    Author's Response: Thanks! Voldemort is definitely cruel. He likes to torture people just for the "fun" of it.

    Hey there, I loved this chapter! I am glad that you went with a mental attack rather than a vision, the first is hardly seen in stories and the last is seen a lot. It would be expected though to see a vision sometime. :-D It was sweet to see Harry obey Severus's command to "look at his eyes," the child had to have known what was coming but yet, trusted in Snape still. It was welcoming to see that the place in which "little Harry" escaped to in his mind was naturally...a beach, which makes sense since "big Harry" wants to go to a real one. The sandcastle idea was cute too. :-D Hmm...I wonder if "Hitler" found out about Harry's cancer, I hope not, but it's possible. Hopefully, they (and we!) will find out why Harry's scar bled, when it normally does not, but then again, that was the first time an instance like that had happened, correct? It sounds as though Miss Adamson is a bit jealous that Severus is taking care of Harry's scar and not her. Hehe. It's sad, yet touching that even when Severus didn't like Harry, he still in a tremendous way, cared far more than any of the adults who did claim to care for the child. It was refreshing to see that Severus reassured Harry that this new...outward caring for...was not an act. Also it was good knowing that Harry is maturing, wanting to make sure that he won't get addicted to the pain meds, or as I like to call them, the "Happy Meds." It looks as though the new meds for nauseasa aren't going ot work either, poor Harry, but it makes for a more interesting story. LOL, when I write stories (haven't written any HP ones), I like to torture my favorite characters...actually in one of my stories, the main character also has ALL, I started that one almost two years ago...lol...Anyways, I am glad that Snape, though willing to let the subject be for right now, has told Harry that they WOULD have to talk about the Dursley's sometime, a very responsible choice. I am looking forward to the letter's contents, and hope that you can update soon, though I know how work is (I'm having to rush this review because I have to be at Kohl's shortly), we also have winter things in, but where I live it's gone down to 60s-70s now, sometimes lower in the day. I'm enjoying the cooler weather so I won't take you up on the warmer weather, as I wish it would get slightly cooler soon. Thanks anyways. hehe. Er...I've been thinking, has Voldy gotten something to do with the way Dumby's acting, I mean directly, like did he cause the headmaster's reaction or was it purely the headmaster? I'm probably overthinking it through. Oh and Flurry enjoyed her visit, she loved playing in the falling Autumn leaves (can you tell I like Autumn...hehe) and teasing Zac. He liked her though and even played a rousing game of chase with her. Anyways, gotta fly and my Firebolt is calling. Still keeping my wand pointed at Dumby though.

    Author's Response:

    I love how you pick up the little things I write. I'm always interested in seeing if people pick up those small things like Severus' command for Harry to look at his eyes and the beach connection. We'll find out why Harry's scar bled. The reason isn't as sinister as you think. 

    I think Severus that even when he's a jerk has a certain set of morals pertaining to children. He'll be nasty and harsh to them, but child abuse is one of those lines not to be crossed. Whether Harry's childhood involved physical abuse or not remains to be seen, but neglect and verbal abuse can be more harmful than physical abuse.

    It's too bad that new anti-emetic isn't working for Harry, isn't it? *excited for more angst* lol. Torturing characters is always fun.

    Snape is still watching out for Harry's mental state, so he knows he can't just force Harry to speak about the Dursleys.

    Voldemort has nothing to do with the way Dumbledore's acting. That's something I can tell you for sure. lol.

    Sev will be featured in the next chapter, and yes it has something to do with the letter. ;) Thanks!

    Another wonderful chapter. I really hate Voldy!! Harry just can't cut a break. Loved that it was Severus that forced his "former master" out of Harry's head! Trust is building, even a "father/son type bonding." Can't wait for the next one!

    Author's Response: Thanks! Voldemort always underestimated Sev, so it's great for him to show Voldemort that he's not any ordinary wizard. Trust is building, which is huge, but there's a few things that might put a bump in that road...

    Brilliant chapter can't wait for more

    Author's Response: Thanks! The next chapter promises to bring some Severus related angst that'll be fun to read and write. ;)
