Hi!
I just wanted to tell you that I've loved this story from the very beginning. I find it original and realistic, and I really hope you will update soon because I can't wait for the new chapter:)
love

P.S.
I'm not a native speaker so please excuse my mistakes:)
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate your feedback, and I will indeed be updating soon. I didn't notice any mistakes, by the way ;)
Well the good news is that unless you're killing Harry off and making him a ghost, this means that Severus will figure out just how depressed and terrified Harry is and he'll finally get some help. Good job with the chapter, hope you update soon.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I think I can safely reveal that I do not plan on making Harry a ghost, so either Snape will help Harry out, or the story is over next chapter. I leave it to you to draw the right conclusion ;)
AUGH YOU SUCK, why would you end it on such a cliffhanger, that's just pure evi-- *own stories prod me in the back* *shifty eyes* *coughs* Never mind.
Still though, you better update soon. Like...now. XD
Harry's suicidal ideation and everything in this chapter is so perfect and accurate, it's *painful*. Especially that calm and purpose at the end, when he's deciding to hurt himself, that's exactly how it feels. ^^;
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Yes, I am indeed evil personified. (And yes, you are one to talk, plus you keep readers waiting for a whole lot longer than I do *hem hem*) I'm really glad you think I got Harry's internal turmoil right; I was really nervous about that.
I have a love/hate thing going on with cliffhangers, but because there is another chapter to read this time, I'm just very, very happy with this awesome chapter!

Thank you for the update! I really appreciate the way Harry now feels safe enough to act out, while at the same time continuing to be very insecure. It seems that a part of him realizes that he's physically safe with Snape, so he has the freedom to lash out, yet he still feels that his place in Snape's home is vulnerable, causing him to regret his actions each time he does. It's very realistic. The emotions of abused children are meant to be complex, not placed easily into a neatly marked box. For that reason I also appreciated Snape's understanding that Harry probably didn't even know himself what his needs are.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I really appreciate your feedback - your observations are spot-on.
Ahhh! I hope Snape finds out about his nightmares, :D
If I could just write Snape like you do, I'd be a very happy person...I don't know enough big words to write him correctly though, haha. Love your version, :D Can't wait to see where this goes!
Holy moly Abie! I may find myself abandoning JKR and preferring this story to the original! :D So awesome so far, yay! :D Thanks for sharing such a beautifully written chapter...I hope many more follow.
Mmmm. Caramel gelato. Yum. Poor Harry. He's too afraid to trust Snape. After all, everyone else he cared for abandoned him. He sounds torn between aggravating Snape to make him get rid of him and fear that Snape will actually make him leave. Sounds like it's all coming to a head next chapter. Hopefully, Snape will have a breakthrough with Harry. After all, he is a head of house and must have some experience dealing with troubled children.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Harry is very afraid to trust; it goes against everything life has taught him so far. He'll get there, though, hence the title. Despite Snape being a bit out of his depth in this situation, he will have a breakthrough.
*sniff sniff, sob sob* noooo!!!! don't do it harry!!!! e love you too much!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. Yeah, this chapter was probably just as heartbreaking to read as it was to write. Just wait till the next chapter...
