Sick. Definitely. But rape is sick, anyway. Just what did George tell Harry? I somehow think maybe, just maybe, he could do the opposite of it? Because he seemed to be more then reluctant.

So very dark and so very well writen, both Dark Harry and Severus.

My gods... well, you did warn us. I wonder if Harry, if he ever gets his conscience back, will ever be able to live with what he did? And Severus, he's really going through hell. I hope Hermione's "Anything" doesn't come too late for him.

Poor Severus. First leaving the only people who stand up for him and than a gangrape. Can't believe the reluctant George will add more to this. Can't, can't.... Getting scared though..

My compliments on your writing again.

Please, please, PLEASE tell me that George is so sickened by what just happened to Sev that he's taking him to Ron and Hermione....Normally I like rape scenes; I'll admit...sometimes they kind of get me off. But I just felt so bad for Sev! I mean, Harry's gone completely off his rocker. Instead of being angry at him though, I'm more concerned. I'm curious now more than ever as to what exactly happened to him. I can't wait for the next update. I hope we start getting clues! That said, the latest chapters (21-23) have been awesome (for lack of a better word) and I've been grateful for the fast updates. =)

How can Harry ever make it right with Severus? Why doesn't Severus think death is more preferable than living life as a slave? So many questions. Can't wait to see where it goes. Wonderfully intense. I'm guessing Neville had a talk with George and that George is taking Severus to Hermione and Neville. Time will tell. Thanks for such a wonderful story.

Chapter 16--well, given in canon Snape's name was clearly forgotten long before the Epilogue (Albus Severus had never heard it, and Harry had to _whisper_ the information to him away from the rest of the family), Snape's relatively quick death at Nagini's fangs begins to look better and better. It's not like anyone is really helping him.

As for resisting Harry, the link I see (except for Neville) is that they've either worn the Horcrux, or come into other contact with Voldemort (Ginny, possessed by Tom Riddle). Neville is still a puzzlement, except perhaps _nearly_ being marked by Voldemort. Or perhaps Bella was close enough to Voldemort to affect Neville as a child, when his parents were nearly Crucio'd to death. Also, Neville spends a lot of time around plants, whose minds are also quite alien to most humans.

Hermione seems less than competent in this story. If she was able to keep Snape in a coma for five years, why was she unable to transfigure something else into a copy of Snape's body (and she would do the job all the way to the DNA, of course), have "Snape" die, and then spirit the real one out of Britain? Answer: Yeah, Hermione isn't perfect in this story. She doesn't have an answer to everything. Now, I am not sure how far along in the story are you, but there are tracking spells embedded into the slave-brand. The tracking spells will locate the "real snape". And additionally, punish him, for being outside of the household without owner's permission (quite severely).



Yes, yes, the Slave Bond is really bad, but so is dying by torture by Harry's hand (and during this time Harry would have been getting worse and worse). Well yes. Everything's bad.

And of course there are the portraits. Even if Harry doesn't believe Dumbledore's, there are other portraits in the Head office who would be able to testify to other things they heard that would back up Dumbledore. Yes, Albus kept the mostly deadly stuff away from them, but when he was a portrait himself, I'm sure there would have been discussions that the other portraits would have listened into. Would _all_ of them lie? Even Harry would find it hard to think so, though I expect he'd give it a shot. Once again, I'm not sure how far along in the story you are, but the portrait thing is complicated. See chapter "Forgotten".

But what about the other portraits? Surely they remember things...or have all the Headmaster and Headmistress portraits been Obliviated? (probably by Harry because they told him things he didn't want to hear).
