I would like to refer you to the book named " A child called "It" " by David Pelzer .It tells the story of a boy who, from a very young age, is abused very badly by his mother. It is even worse then Harry because she activly abuses him like making him eat from a toilet or try to poison him. She also keeps him locked up in the basement when he gets back from school. This is a TRUE story. He finally goes to a foster home when he is roughly the age Harry was when he went to Hogwarts. There are many comparisons. And yet this young man manages to go beyond his abuse, changing foster homes and even manages to marry a nice woman and have kids. Just because you go though hell doesn't mean you will end up screwed for life. Yes, Rowling didn't go into enough depth on the abuse but you are doing it to much. There is absolutly zero hope in Harrys life and that is what is unrealistic. In real life abuse victims are sometimes( though rarely) treated well and that is why so many stay in these kind of relationships. They look back on those rare instances of happiness and manage to hide the truth of teh matter from themselves. They tell themselves, thats not really my abuser. My abuser is actually a good guy. He is actually my uncle so he must love me. When he does terrible things to me its because I deserve it but really he loves me. That is the sadest part.

Sorry for not posting a review earlier. The last few chapters are simply amazing. I am very happy each time I see a new chapter for your fic. The relationship between Harry and Snape evolves really good, even when I read the part where Severus decided to bond with Harry I was a little surprised because it was for me a bit too fast, let's just say Harry needs it really bad. Anyway even when Severus explored the more BDSM part of their relationship, he succeded to be somewhat sweet (never tell him I said that or I will become really tiny potion ingredients!)
I am impatient to see the confrontation with the Dursley! I hope Severus will make them suffer!
Thank you for the chapter!

how is he going to get the dursleys to agree? they aren't exactly co coperative to magical folk and vernon will lose his chew toy.
also, that's a bit mean. deliberately pushing har knowing he can't hold out so he has an excuse to punish him, even if he did it to try and build up some trust. that could've backfired badly.

Terrific chapter! I worry more about what Dumbledore will say about their bonding. I think Sev can make the Dursleys sign but Dumbledore?
I don't trust him. After all he put Harry with the Dursleys & kept him there also all the other dangerous things. Oh but I want them to bond!! And also to put Hermione & especially Ron in their place! What will Draco think of his Godfather, like an Uncle to him, bonded or married to a fellow student & one he is always fighting with? I reread the whole thing today - loved it all over again & can't wait for the next chapter!

finally, I already thought that Severus would never undress in front of Harry, that would have become a strange relationship
and a marriage - sorry, bonding - that's so great! I love it! may I come too? will they go to a honeymoon? I'm so happy!

I'll join Jean in his opinion on this chapter - with a bit less enthusiasm about the bonding however. You know how Jean is, evil, he can be a bit, let me say, childish sometimes, a typical Gryffindor. Sometimes I really wonder how I ever managed living with this idiot for such a long time.
But I very much like this story

I am so happy with the way this story is going...I just love it! Poor abused & neglected Harry and poor under rated but used by & for Dumbledore, Voldie & everyones' advantage unloved Severus need each other and fit so well!! And now they are begining to show how much they care for each other & bonding? Yea!!

spotted two typos. intimidate instead of intimate and mute instead of moot.
wow, i thought this was teaching relationship? Why is sev pushing for a bonding so quickly? Is that normal for a teaching bond? Rushing like that is not really like Snape and is it such a good idea to bond with Voldie still out there? I think back at the start the very reason har started this was because he didn't want to die without knowing love and war could very well kill him.
I agree, it's highly unlikely that har would turn total hero boy after being kicked around by the dursleys and jerked around by dumbles. He might put up a very good front but that's all it would be, a front and one that would get knocked down sooner or later.

Wow, I can only say you really went to town on poor Harry. No food, no love, no family, no friends, no clothes. I mean he practically had all the bad stuff happen to him...one does have to wonder why nobody at his previous school said anything and I wondered about the food he has to choose from everyday in teh great hall at hogwarts....and at feasts! how does he do that? I do feel like you are playing the abused card a smidgen to hard. I mean I know that real people and kids get abused every day. But gosh, he is CONSTANTLY startled or afraid or cringing. What in the world did u do with teh brave, corageous Harry from teh books???

good that for once Ron is punisehd
nice that some action starts, can't wait for more
great chapter to a great story
