Yeah, that thought just popped into my mind. I'm sure that Snape would not have been too upset if Snape had blown up Petunia! Oh thanks.  I just thought that the similarities between Harry and Snape's childhoods was just too real for Snape to ignore, and he kept slipping back into the past.  Thank goodness that Snape doesn't know about the cloak!  If Harry's not careful though, he'll find out soon enough.  Hmm...maybe if Harry is sneaky enough and luck is on his side, he'll escape without Snape being the wiser. But then again...this is Snape we're talking about.  Yeah, Snape has a tv and some other Muggle artefacts  I don't know why, but I just thought after seeing HBP and Snape living in Spinner's End, which is in a Muggle neighbourhood, I bleieve, that Snape had a Muggle father, and I could see him owning some Muggle objects.

Yeah, that dog (Sirius) is tricky, isn't he!  

 Oh, I don't mind at all, even if you had reviewed twice. I'm honoured that you took the time to review at all! Thanks again. And I love your story by the way!

Thank you so much for your lovely reviews, and I promise when I'm not so zonked from working all day, I'll leaving longer ones for you.

Oh thanks. I always like to try to insert a little humour, so that (hopefully) my story is not too depressing, especially when you are dealing with a serious subject matter like child abuse. I want the story to be serious, but not so heavy that it's hard to read.

I think that Severus' wish that Harry were HIS son, not James', took him my surprise. He really doesnt' want to feel that way. He'd give anything to go back and change the hands of time, but he's seeing Harry in a different light these days, and he's starting to think more of Liily everytime he sees Harry, and it confuses him that all these feelings are coming out.

LOL, yeah, can you just picture him telling James to stuff his money, where the sun don't shine!

I don't think that Harry meant to tell Ron and Hermione abou the abuse, but perhaps his subconcious was a better judge of the fact that he needed to confide in his friends and that the support from his friends will help him heal.

Acitually, in the book Harry learns about Sirius in the parlour at the Leaky Cauldron. I've taken bits from the movie, in this story and bits from the book. This scene actuallly has some direct quotes from the book about the conversation between Molly and Arthur arguing about whether to tell Harry, but I've added some dialogue of my own to include Severus in the scene to make it look as though he was there in the original scene. I'm hoping that it worked.

Thanks so much, and I'm so enjoying Sacrifices as well. It's so well written, and I always love a younger Harry, or should I say "Tevin".

Hee hee. Snape would not want children any more hyper than necessary, now would he?

Thanks. I'm just really enjoying writing Ron. Oh, some of the dialogue was taken from POA, and I just elaborated on it, so the idea of the badge was JK's, not mine. But I didn have fun playing around with Ron's reactions.

There are more suprises with the will to come.

Don't worry about it. You read it now! :)  Thanks for reviewing.
