    I feel really bad for Smithers. I must be terrible to be so alone in the world because of such a horrendous accident. I do hope that Harry's kindness will show him that there is still reason to feel joy even though he has lost so much.

    Veleska seems to be the perfect choice for Severus. It's clear that she decided that Severus was worthy of her immediately and I don't think it was because Augustus chose her specifically for him; she is far too intellegent to simply do as she is told. I'm sure she read his heart (all animals can tell if you are a good person) and accepted him as her master.

    I'm glad that Severus is going to finally tell Augustus the truth and I hope that Harry won't be hurt too badly.
    My guess is that Augustus will have mixed feelings. He might feel a bit hurt, angry, and disappointed that Severus didn't trust him with the truth sooner, and proud, understanding, and most of all love for all that Severus did to give Harry the best life possible despite the lack of blood relation. Blood or not, Harry IS a Snape! Many of the things that Severus did will finally make sense to him and I'm sure that he will do all that is in his power to help them.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, I feel bad for Smithers too. It's a terrible thing to have happen and hopefully Harry will be able to help him heal. All it takes is a little kindness sometimes.

    She really is and she knew that SEverus was her master because she could sense his inner nature, and that's why she agreed to bond with him.  All animals can sense whether o not a person is good or bad.

    You're right, Augustus would feel that way and Harry is a Snape in all ways save one.

    What a great chapter! Really inspiring1 I wish I'd thought to do that with my kids, it would have really taught them a good lesson about giving instead of receiving. This story is so heartwarming!

    Can't wait till Sev reveals the big secret. Update soon!

    Thank you for this wonderful, wonderful chapter. You have me in tears.....happy tears. Nice object lesson for Harry. All parents should do that. With my two boys, we lived in small towns, they went to school with kids from all backgrounds, rich, poor and middle class. We always did the angel tree, gave to the Salvation Amy, and made donations to the local second hand shops We went through a rough patch for a few years when they were 12 to 13 (twins here) and they learned this lesson very well. Happy New Year and Happy bday Severus.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks. I think it's important for kids to learn that lesson, especially if they aren't used to thinking about other children in that way.  I always donate to some kind of charity when I can, especially around the holidays. We do a book drive at Barnes and Noble and most of the staff buys at least 1 or two books, I usually do a set of a series, this year it was Peter & the Star Catchers--a new novelazation about how Peter became Peter pan, before he met Wendy.

    Harry, because of how he was raised here, needed to learn that lesson badly, and Augustus and Severus made it possible.

    What a wonderful way to teach a child to "give" and be thankful for what they have. We should all do that. I love the new chapter. What will happen when Harry gets to Hogwarts, it was dumbledores fault for leaving him with the dursleys.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much!

    Yes, Dumbledore has much to answer for, not just for giving him to people without asking first, but also not making sure the child was looked after properly.

    I have a new chapter posted!

    It's good that Harry now understands that Christmas is about giving, not receiving, and about wishing good for others. Augustus' idea was quite excellent and allowed Severus to teach Harry this important lesson.

    Well...Augustus definitely realizes that Harry IS the same child as the missing Harry Potter, though he assumes that he is biologically Severus', which of course isn't true. And Severus is still scared to tell Harry and Augustus the truth. Time is running out and he needs to unburden himself and soon.

    Author's Response:

    yes, that was an important lesson for Harry--or any child--to learn and he was lucky he had such caring adults to teach it to him. 

    Yes, Augustus does have a few misconceptions there, but Severus could clear them up once he makes up his mind to get over his fear of being rejected and just bite the bullet and tell Augustus the truth.  Thanks so much for reading!
