Finally, Snape caught the ClueKnight Bus.

At least, Harry figured out who Abe is.

A new chapter, yay! :) And such a good one, too... I can't wait to see what happens when Severus finally confronts Harry :)

AAARGGH!!! Your trying to kill me with the waiting and the tension. Don't deny it, I know you are. I'm thrilled Severus finally figured it out. I hope Harry doesn't do anything stupid (whoops, too late) and thanks for responding so nicely to my last comments to you. Your my favorite story right now and I was literally grinding my teeth while checking every day for an update. No pressure though. Really, I mean it. (uh huh, right) Just remember I'm here, anxiously waiting to read what happens. (by the way, still not thrilled with Severus' family but trying to understand better now)

Sorry, but a chapter a week. I contemplated updating more frequently with only three chapters and an epilogue to go, but I'm not sure. There are still some kinks I want to muse over for a bit.

About Snape's family, in the first drafts, I made them a very harmonious family (the part where Siobhan threatened Snape with the Aurors at the end of chapter 4 was added in one of the very last drafts). Yet in the end, it didn't feel right. What can I say? I like a bit of conflict between my characters. I wasn't hoping for readers to completely like Snape's family. After all, you're all here to read a story about Snape and Harry. :)

Thanks for replying to my response to the chapter. Just because I am annoyed with Snapes family does not mean I don't think you've done an excellent job in creating their characters. You have. You've made me like them all as people while disliking the way they interact with Severus. Not an easy task as I have been Snape sensitive since HBP came out. I'm glad your taking a week to update even though it makes me nuts because then I can look forward to this lasting longer. I get sad when my favorite stories end. I also didn't mention but do love the backstory your creating for Draco and Hermione. I hope when this is finished (sniff sniff) you leap back in and write more for my enjoyment. ( I know you probably think you deserve to have a life, but to me, it's all about me) (I am just kidding, but not about the writing more stuff) Thank you truly for a very enjoyable and interesting story.
