    Interesting take on Severus' initiation into Voldemort's inner circle. It was different, but in a good way ;)
    I'm happy that this strengthened Harry's love for his insecure, intellectual father. He's pretty skilled at comforting Severus.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Harry has had a very good teacher; after being comforted by Severus, he knows all the tricks lol!

    I loved the update! I thought Severus' vulnerability was very well placed in this chapter. It flows really nicely:) I loved when Harry said that Severus 'made it right again; it's great that Harry doesnt hold it against his dad and that they were able to move on so quickly. Great job!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Severus has always struck me as a very vulnerable man; people who are as spiky and reserved as he is are very rarely cold or insensitive, it it generally the complete opposite. In discovering his father's vulnerablity, Harry will respect Severus even more and, as Severus' story invites sympathy, Harry's anger will only be directed towards those who hurt his father.

    It is always a hard moment when the child realizes that the parent is not perfect. It is such a feeling of fear that this person will not always be able to do the right thing or always make the right decision.

    But it is a liberating moment too. Trying to live up to perfection is too difficult and scary.

    When we realize our parents are human with human frailities is when we first start loving as humans and not as just parents.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I quite agree; in the past, Harry hero worshipped Severus, believing him to be perfect. However, now he's able to see that his father is flawed, Harry can grow to love Severus as the brave, strong, clever and good person that he is, whilst knowing that his father's heart is as vulnerable as his own.

    I'm so glad that Harry was able to see that Severus, despite his horrid mistake, really is a good, if flawed, man. Severus deserves a great deal of respect for what he has accomplished, despite his failings. He is human and fallible and that makes him all the more worthy of love in his son's eyes.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I agree; Severus is much more worthy of respect than many others who, having lead easier lives, have never erred and Harry can see that, even though Severus made a mistake, he tried his best to rectify it.

    Mmmph...That wasn't easy for Sev. Yay on Harry getting his Parseltongue back, though! Kudos on a job well done.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. This has definately been one of the tougher chapters for Severus, more down to his own low self-esteem than anything else as he think's Harry will judge him as he's judged himself

    Egads, what a way to end the chapter.

    It was good of Severus to tell Harry the truth, but update and soon.
