Awww, I get what the Weasleys are feeling, but POOR HARRY! It takes two to tango, it's not fair to place all of the blame at Harry's feet--of course, that's how it works, a bit disgusting really. I hope they can work something out!
Awww, poor Ginny!! Poor Harry!! What a difficult situation!
I love how Ron blames Harry alone...it takes two to make a baby. Ginny is just as much to blame as Harry for this set of circumstances. I hope that the rest of the Weasley family will be more understanding and won't treat Harry like a pariah. He truly loves Ginny and they are getting married regardless. This just pushed things forward a bit. I am not condoning them having relations at this age, just saying that you cannot blame just one of them. This is why you should wait.
Author's Response: Agreed, definitely a good thing to wait. Having children requires you to be completly unselfish. You can't afford to be selfish and have a baby... they really do demand 100% of your time. Not to mention finances... if you're broke before, you'll be twice as broke after a baby, and it's important that the baby has what it needs, so you have to sacrifice food and what you need for your child. Even if your finances are good, it costs around $20,000 to give birth, plus about $1,000 extra a year in expenses like diapers, wipes, formula, toys, clothes, etc... and then doctor bills when the baby gets their shots and goes to see the doctor every 2 months. But having a child is very rewarding so long as you are ready and committed.

Mmmf...good few chapters. Hope you update again soon.
Now, I normally like to wait until I've reached the end of the completed chapters, but I just had to post to this. Too Kawaiii(cute). This was very well done, Kudos to you.
I don't quite agree that imprisoning your child is a good way to get them to listen to you, particularly when that child is Harry. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for Ginny, Severus would have failed at this goal miserably. You know, one could argue that he even broke the law by doing so; Harry is a legal adult and had the right to refuse to go with him. I do understand why he did it, though; Harry is extremely stubborn and very good at avoiding people when he wants to be. I just hope that Severus is much more careful in the future in his dealings with Harry.
Harry and Ginny are certainly making plans, aren't they? I hope they don't rush things too much.
Great chapter!
Author's Response: Well, we don't have to agree. I have children and I would never do that to them, but I'm not Severus Snape. I believe it is something Snape would do being somewhat inexperienced. Thanks for the review!
I know that Severus just wanted to make sure that Harry can't get hurt like that again, but he shouldn't have tried to force Harry to give up Quidditch. I knew the moment that he approached the subject what was going to happen and he did to. So why did he do it that way? He should have expected the kind of response he got from the ultimatum he didn't deny. He broke Harry's heart.
Usually, I'm not a fan of Ron, but this time I have to stand up and give him a standing ovation. I'm glad that someone took Severus to task for the pain he inflicted upon Harry.
Great chapter!
Author's Response: He did it because he's Severus, and he's currently inexperienced with dealing with the feelings and tantrums of his own child. It is ALWAYS easier to deal with somebody else's kids because you can walk away at the end of the day if things don't work...

OK, so when Ron comes back is he not happy about Ginny and Harry, I think it's romantic. Great chapter. Please post soon!

Great chapter and wow, Ron was amazing. He said all the right things to Snape and showed just what a loyal friend is. Snape needs to think about this, you can' t control your kids, they have their own ideas.
It has something to do with what his Aunt told him...but what could it be?
