HpFanficFan : Originally I planned to make book 2 shorter than book 1; but right now, I am honestly not sure. It could even end up being longer than Book 1. If you want to know details of what I'm thinking about, feel free to email me privately. : )

theseachange : Yeah, Snape should be coming apart at this point, but he isn't. The thing about him is that he's basically a soldier and a spy. He's used to suppressing emotions in order to keep going. He witnessed atrocities, probably more terrible than what he had experienced at Godric's Hollow. He spent years fraternizing with the "enemy", never allowing his cover to slip. He never had any breaks. He kept going and going, even after killing Dumbledore. He's not somebody who will just let his emotions loose and start crying after a day of normalcy, which is still quite not normalcy, because even though the pain is over, the crisis isn't quite over yet, in his mind. And even when he goes home, he is likely not to start crying and wallowing right away. Seven years of suppressing emotions and weaknesses aren't for nothing.

review for chapters 27-30

Damn there you go again, twisting the emotions so far then suddenly making a 180 turn that surprises us all. I really though Severus was going to be tortured to death and I must say that torture was just creepy, it made me shudder. Then he brings the real Harry back and I thought they were going to try and work out how to destroy the dust without killing Harry, then the train station and coming back to life. All of that was just wow. I am really loving this and how you write it.

Wow. Although I found myself glad that he was able to stand up against the pressure, and not have been trained to be docile by DarkHarry, but I certainly see the source of his resentment. All thoughout this story the others have been clinging to him, staring hopefully at him for direction and guidance. And although it was understandable that Harry was excited to hear of Ginny's return, I really hope that Severus and Harry can find each other romantically or be forced to end their relationship as it ended during this chapter. Not only because I extremely dislike Ginny, but also because Severus should have anything less than that. However, I must say I'm a bit confused as to the nature of their relationship now with the ownership. Harry is the only one who can return it to the relationship between Dumbledore and Snape, so why was it that paperwork was what cured their relationship? Harry has been under this medicated sleep, so it didn't sound as if it was him. Also, again I'm thankful for Snape's strength and reasoning in showing some mercy to his rapists. One thing that I didn't mention before, I was hoping that Draco would have more of a say, but this certainly follows the deterioration of character that Draco went through, becoming more and more scared for his own well being. Great work.

Response to linagabriev : Well, the legal aspects of the bond (and Sev's freedom) needed the paperwork. But the emotional/magical aspects of the bond has been automatically transformed when the two returned from King's Cross; as Dumbledore said, it doesn't need spells, or rituals, just honorable intentions and love. Harry has both, even in his confused disoriented state.
