    Hello!

    I love the way you're slowly developing Snape and Harry's relationship. You're capturing their insecurities and fears beautifully. Though I have to say (rather selfishly) that I wish they'd hurry up. I was really hopeing to see a hug after Harry told Snape about his nightmare. On the other hand I'm glad you didn't have them getting all mushy yet because that would ruin your story.

    Thanks for a wonderful story!

    Please update soon.

    Daughterofares,

    I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that I'd received a review from you!! For it was you that inspired me to join this site. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you like how I've done things and your comments certainly brought a smile to my face! I wanted to squeeze a hug in there but not yet, I have that planned and it's not quite the right time for that sort of action yet. I do not intend to have them get all "mushy" yet or too unrealistically later either, I agree...I prefer this proper flow of things although I have been tempted at times!

    You're welcome and thanks for your review! I will update again soon, perhaps tomorrow. Oh and you're my 100th reviewer for this story!! Woo-hoo. Thanks.

    -Mel :D

    Oh it was one of my favourite chapters too. I love how they're becoming close. So sweet.

    I'm impressed at how hard Severus is trying to be a father to Harry; going so far as to ask that prefect"s advice. Very sweet.

    I've got the warm fuzzies now. I'm dying for another chappie.

    Author's Response:

    Pandora,

    Yay, I'm glad to hear that. And yeah, it is sweet. Snape is determined not to let Harry down although he's not entirely sure why just yet. Ha, and as if he would ever admit to asking for advice, but yes he did, hehe. We know better. Thanks. I'm pleased to hear that and I will update again probably tomorrow. I do believe that you will like the next chapter.

    -Mel :)

    Nice! I love Snape's round-about way of trying to be a father. I also really love that it's not just a joke to him or an obligation; now that he's committed, he really does want to give Harry what he needs. Good work!

    -P.G.

    P.S. This is actually just a general comment for your fics, but do you realize that you spell ridiculous the wrong way? There is no 'e' in it. I hope I haven't upset you by pointing it out, but I know I've noticed it more than once in your fics and it's an easy correction to make :).

    Author's Response:

    P.G,

    Thank-you! Haha. And yeah, he's not doing this as a joke (hahaha, Snape and jokes do not belong in the same sentence!) and it's not just a job or obligation...he's really trying and wants to do this for Harry and in a way, himself. He's commited and is starting to really care for Harry. Thanks.

    And I keep forgetting how to spell that blasted word, thank-you for pointing that out and I'll fix them when I can but at the very least I will try to keep an eye on the word in the future. I am not upset that easily and I do apriciate my readers pointing out these thngs for it helps me to improve and I know that no one is perfect. Thanks for your review!

    -Mel :)

    this was too cute. You've really made it clear how awkward the situation is for both Snape and Harry. Nonetheless, your depiction of them carefully finding their way into a closer relationship is spot on. Thanks for writing.

    Author's Response:

    Justjoanjm,

    Heh, thanks. Your comments made my smile, thanks and I really apriciate your thoughts. I'm glad that you think I'm doing a good job in those areas! You're welcome. I will update soon.

    Oh that was so beautiful!!!

    It's very sweet that Snape is really trying to be an actual father to Harry, and I don't know how you do it, but it's really believable. And that's not easy to do with a character like Snape!!!

    Very well done. I can't wait for the next chappie!!

    Author's Response:

    Pandora,

    Thanks!! It's really believable, you say? Wow...that's one of the best comments I've received yet, thank-you! And I am thrilled. You're right though, it's not exactly an easy thing to do with a character like Snape, but I never knew that I was pulling it off that well, thanks! I will update asap.

    -Mel :)

    I like your story very much. I liked Harry's reasoning about why he needed a father and why he needed him to be Snape. I hope that they will trust each other soon to be able to be a family. Great work.

    Author's Response:

    Llalva,

    I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for your comments, always glad to hear them. And it will be a while before they can really be trusting on a family level but they're working towards it and there will be moments in between. Thanks!

    -Mel :)
