    I enjoy Severus's resistance to Hermione, and how she keeps pushing back. Good - don't let him get away with anything, Herm!! ... The first part of the chapter was so sad. The thought of Severus cooped up like that for *five years* ....

    Super cool story so far! So original! Dream interpretation time --- easy part is the snake must be Severus. Humm, as for the rest --- how's this? Nicholas was seeing that both his dad and Snape (who he didn't know and his dad hated, hence saw as a snake) were still trapped in a postwar cage. The dragon is either a symbol of the threat of whatevurkiurking evil that still remains and ended up killing Harry or (my choice) Dumbledore . He kept Harry right next to him at Order meetings, but allowed him choose to remain oblivious (per Ron's comments) to what was happening beyond the ceremonial role of his seat of 'power' (THE SAVIOR OF THE WIZARDING WORLD BECAME A CANDY MAKER!?!? That can't be it!!! A cover?) next to the self created king. As to Snape being in a cage, Severus's comment about being essentially put into a warehouse rather than a care fity ity like St Mungo's effectively indicates that Dumbledore has him caged and relegated into an almost completely isolated existence. It will be interesting to see what Dumbledore's reaction is to her visits to the hospital. Hermoine came back too late to save Harry from the pit/death, but Severus is still there (sort of). As a fan of ss/hg ship, I'll assume her taking the snake into her arms means what I hope it means. Also, Ron has always felt uncomfortable with Nicholas. thisthis because the child is a seer and Ron is afraid of the child on some instinctive level? Whether (assuming that my guess about the dragon is right) Dumbledore is the killer (either directly or by order) or not is a tough one. I can see that as an explanation of why the crime scens sos so clean and why they found no evidence of murder. Also, possible he has started something that is now out of control (second auror death?) and other parties responsible. Interesting dear Watson, interesting!!!!! My reasons for thinking Dumbledore is the dragon are 1) you don't seem to see him in the "St Albus" role if your past stories are an indication, 2) "a gruesome murder is both more and less than it seems" may be a setup to get the readers thinking this way and soon you'll pull the rug out from under us (me)!!, and 3) I've read way too many murder mysteries and think I'm good at solving them!!! :)

    Love the story!!!

    I'm actually enjoying this fic a lot. I have not the least idea where you are heading, it amuzed me that I could be captivate with a story I still can't fully understand (I'm the bossy kind).
    The thinks I enjoy are:
    1. The way people has change, I hate fics in whihey hey met years later and nothing has change. Urgh.
    2. Hermione's past, I'm really courious.
    3. Severus "madness" (does something such as madness exist? Isn't only a social consturction?)
    4. Ron. He is lovely, not the sturpid pratt the always shaped. In fact all your charachters are interesting people.
    5. Harry's son. You do well in traspassing to the reader that feeling of uneasyness arround him.
    6. About Petunia? Can't buy it.
    7. Does Dudley kills Harry?

    I'm really enjoying this story, very interesting and I'm glad that you finished it beforehand because I don't think I could manage the wait between chapters! :) I'm curious as to why Hermione left though but I'm sure you'll reveal why soon enough.

    **squawk!!** Helpless with regard to magic?? He had his magic taken away?? What?? Man, this is painful to read. I really really want that powerful, ambiguous Snape back. And I noticed the SOTL atmosphere, with the stupid supervisor. Tell me he gets his face ripped off sooner rather than later ...

    On a more serious note, I have a friend who got tossed in a mental health facility after she couldn't deal with nightmares, stresses, and 9/11 PTSD (the chapter with the collapsing/burning building made my stomach twist, BTW.) She tells me that the worst parts were 1) having people record everything you do, 2) seeing your anger and frustration have absolutely no effect, 3) being a herd animal with the other inmates - milling around a court for for "outside time" and 4) the lack of privacy. So you seem to have hit the nail exactly on the head. Good job.

    Very compelling. I feel that there has to be some sort of connection between Severus and Nicholas but for the life of me I cannot decide why this should be. I imagine you intend to keep us on tenderhooks as to the reason's for Hermione's running away and the circumstances surrounding Harry's death, not to mention what it was that drove Severus around the bend. I can hardly wait for your next installment.

    This story is uber good. It is layers of angst, tragedy and horror. A very good read. You are going to finish this I hope?
    Kudos if you do.
    Thanks sugar,

    Just have to say that storyline aside, this is a very apt and touching (though painful) look at severe depression. You've managed to capture the apathy and almost-nostalgia well. I can't say it's easy for me to read, being a depressive, but is sure as hell is accurate.

    Oh, this is very good. I love your Paranoid Snape. I also like seeing Ron not painted as a jerk in a HG/SS fic for a change. I guess it's Harry's turn.

    I've been following this daily, and it is quickly becoming my favorite. Where to start? I love the slow revelation of mysteries, both concrete (how did Harry die?) and those more quiet and personal. Ron's character is stunningly well drawn here. His memory of Snape and feeling of fraternity with him was a nice touch. I also like that Ron does not get along with Harry's son - it struck me as quite believable somehow. The writing here is also just darn good. Generally I find it difficult to turn off my inner editor when I read fanfic, but it is happily dormant as I read this. THere are no missteps, just a very human story told with quiet poetry. I can't thank you enough. It is nice to have a little slice of this story to look forward to each day.

    Good chapter. I like getting Ron's perspective, and I like his musings - he's grown up, I can tell. You seem to have kept him well in character - I can see him thinking and acting just this way. Poor Nicholas, though. I'm glad he's talking now, at least....

    I really liked that exchange. I love it that Hermione got Severus talking again. (Was there any doubt?) And you were perfectly right to keep the SOTL line in! ;)
