    Oh my God, you wrote this in ONE NIGHT??? Are you nuts? You must be. In a good way though. ;) This story is so good! I love angst and drama, and this one is just chock full of it! Please please do continue, I can't wait to see when you update!

    A point of critique now, I somehow don't think that Severus would come to quite an accepting stance quite that quickly. But if you continue with it, I'm sure you could put in enough problems and head-buttings to compensate. Still though, that last spoken line of Snape's just didn't seem to flow with canon. Maybe if it had been thought and he said something simpler....Not sure what though. Simple yet elegant for this spot. I don't know, that line just seems too cheesy for me in context with the rest of the story so far for someone such as Snape to have said to Harry.

    Just my two cents, I'll be checking back frequently to see if you've updated. :D

    Author's Response:

    I have decided to continue, but the next chapter may be a few days in comming.  As for Severus accepting Harry so quickly, I thought it should be like that because Harry showed him all of his emotions in his mind as well as what had actually happened.  It was like an immediate understanding for Severus of Harry's inner-workings, and once Severus knew that he was his son, he really felt bad and wanted to help him.  This will be explained a little more in the comming chapters.  Already Severus has begun using that special tone with Harry that was previously only reserved for Lily, and has found himself in a place where he is seeing Harry as part of Lily rather than all James Potter, so I felt it was easy for him to make the transition after the thought/emotion sharing to Harry being a son that he wanted to help.

     

    Thanks for the review!

    The emotions that are leaking out of this story is so intense! The build up of Harry's anger was beautifully done, and the ending was a master piece in itself. You have great talent for writing this entire story in one night! I can't even finish a single chapter in one month! You should consider doing a sequel. Nice work!

    Is Snape Harry's true father??
    I think that is what Petunia must have let slip...

    Interesting story. No other author (a least that I've read) has portrayed Harry's reaction in such a way. I thought that definitelyh could have been a reaction in this situation. I did think Snape accepted it a little too readily and I'm curious of course why Snape didn't know.

    Well written like all of your stories.

    Author's Response:

    Before I started writing I just had this image in my mind of a rebellious Harry.  I hadn't really read anything like it either so I wanted to write it.  Generally Harry is very kind and accepting in stories and I wanted to show a really angry, pissed off Harry who doesn't care what happens to him (seemingly).  It allowed for an interesting outcome because if Harry didn't care about detentions then he could get away with murder (practically).

    Thanks for the reveiw!

    I enjoyed this story. You did a fine job portraying the characters. I only wish it were longer. I would like to see if Harry, now that he has his happy ending, will help Draco. After all, Draco is also very troubled and has admited to Harry that his father beats him. What could, would, Harry do to help his new friend?

    Author's Response:

    You bring up an interesting point, but I think that Harry will be so focused on his own issues and newfound parent that we won't see too much of other people's problems in this story.  I did another story called "Shadowland," and "Brothers in Blood" that deals more with the Draco issue along with Harry/Snape issues if you'd like to read that.

     

    Thanks for the thought and the review.  I'll considder doing more Draco in this story, but I'm not sure yet.
