    Flirting and a great insight of what's about to come...

    Brilliant update! Harry's fear was very palpable during the training sessions.

    But I loved them dancing around one another in the kitchen.

    Hmm... the last bit is interesting. I had to take Ethics recently, and of course we covered the "would you kill her to save all of us?" using one of the other students in the classroom. My response would be that I would allow her to die if someone else pulled the trigger. I was too squeamish to do it myself. But then, I can't kill spiders or snails without feeling guilty. I wonder what the scans would be like with different people who have different.. I dunno. Things that they would do. My husband and my paramour would not hestitate to harm or kill if needed. I think I could for the sake of my children, and I watched the slaughter of two cattle that would be our beef for the next few years, but that was about as far as I could go.

    Very interesting chapter. I was wondering if you were going to stick with Harry as the horcrux, and if so, how they would find out. Strangely, I gave it a lot of thought and even went through a few scenarios in my head. Including Snape calling him an idiot for getting himself recklessly killed. I do like the way you did it, not that my opinion matters much, and it was nice to see what was going on with that shadow.

    I will say... Harry's getting ballsy. And Snape... well, he's becoming rather entertaining, isn't he? And I love it being pointed out to Harry that they love each other.

    Slightly entertaining, my captcha for this is "the thickest." How appropriate.

    So, the Horcrux in Harry is in love with him, while the outside one has no clue about it? Or is he still connected to his Horcrux?
    Loved!

    You have a colleague who studies the neuroscience of morality? This explains so goddamn much about the sophistication of this story. Begs to ask the questions what is your area of specialty?

    Anyway, great chapter. Snape's masturbation cream was a hilarious delight. "I made that when I was still in Hogwarts," indeed. LOL. If Snape just patented and sold jars of that stuff alone he could have lived on easy street for the rest of his life. Ha!

    Also, with this dream at the end you've sort of thrown in a game changer. The dream conversation brings up a lot of questions and issues for Harry to consider. He realizes he is a Horcrux. Also, this means Voldemort realizes everything too. Its a weird scenario. Voldemort claims he loves Harry -- which is bizarre, unless you consider the only person Riddle really cares for is himself and now Harry is a part of that. Also the similar backgrounds might help him relate. But then again, if everything he says is true, then he also knows Snape is a spy and has been training Harry to defeat him. And if he could feel all the torture Harry's been going through, why let the tortures continue? There is both truth and deception going on here. The fact that Riddle could remove Harry from Snape at the drop of a hat throws into question why he would say Harry was captive of Snape. Manipulated truths make the best lies because you see the facts are real.

    I'm truly looking forward to your next update. Things are going to get extremely interesting. Keep up the fantastic work!

    He had wards... for the ring at the shack and for the pendant at the cavern, he didn't need any for the diary or the cup as they were in Gringotts (goblin warded) and the diadem was at Hogwarts, also warded. Nagini had himself as protection and there was nothing he could do about Harry...

    Wow, I've read all 54 chapters in less than two days and I'm absolutely captivated by this story.
    It is by far one of the best Snarry fanfictions I have read, if not the best, and I cannot wait to read the continuation.
    You are an incredibly talented and creative writer, reading this story is like reading an actual novel but better, since most novels don't entail yaoi and your style being very unique, frank, detailed and humorous.
    You've also, pretty much, managed to keep all characters 'in character' despite the story's plot and setup, a constantly masturbating Harry isn't exactly considered 'typical behavior' on his part but you've still managed making it credible. I also really enjoyed the facts that Harry didn't break too easily (I also dislike that in fanfictions), that he still held onto his love for Ginny (even though I dislike her) despite everything and that he didn't fall in love with Snape immediately but that it's taking its time like it naturally would.
    Additionally, I like how you haven't beautified Snape but kept him like J.K Rowling has described him, which most authors fail to do, and that the smut scenes are deliciously written, I get a nosebleed every time (jk) :P.
    I hope you update soon.
    Keep up with the good work and good luck with the writing.
    Take care. Hugs(^.^)/

    Excellent chapter. Keep up the good work.


    Also, I'm not sure wards were necessarily an option for Voldy. Honestly, if no one knew about the horcruxes, who would ever think to look? Personally, I think if you just took an item and tossed it in the woods or some other random place, who could ever find it? Voldemorte did so much to cover up his past that, on the unlikely chance you somehow knew about horcruxes, where would you think to find them. The one in the vault was the most obvious spot. Its the only place you might actually think to look for something. Everything else was just in some random location. The objects were hidden from site based on their seemingly "obvious" unimportance. When you trust noone, you have to assume that those with access are going to try to find out what your secrets are.

    Chapter 5

    Even when Snape did things that were decent it was an attempt to control Harry.

    I think this is at the crux of your Severus, here, and it is a fascinating tale of warden and prisoner that you have going so far. I must confess, starcrossed, that I tried to read your story way back when you fist started it (on TQP, and we had an interesting dialogue about Snarry), but I think I was too busy looking for something else at the time. Noticing how far you've gotten in this story, I decided to give it a read---all 52 chapters of it---so we'll see how far I get.

    I love how you are keeping Harry so defiant in the face of his capture. This is exactly how I would see him responding and reacting based on what we know of Harry's past. And because he has familiarity with Snape, the baiting and taunting is expected. I think the way they fight with each other is spot-on in this scenario. Although, I have to agree with Harry, why would Snape think that a teenage boy is going to find being amenable to his captors and not attempting to escape is the smart thing to do, is beyond me. Harry's life is at stake, and he's a fighter. He'd resist til the end. Snape should know this, at least, about the boy.

    One question...my eyesight is fine, for the most part, so I don't get how Harry is able to read a book without his glasses. If you are far-sighted, is it really that easy to read small print in such a huge, involving tome as the Hugo?

    Anyway, you have me so worried for Harry's mental state and what Voldemort plans to do to him. I like that you give us Harry's pov when he's being tortured because it makes it more vile and realistic. I can see how Snape's machinations have worked on Harry, even as the boy struggles to understand what is happening and how he can make things work to his advantage. It's great that you are showing us that Harry is much, much sharper than Snape has ever given him credit for, but alas, Harry is still innocent to a lot of adult manipulations. MacNair is truly frightening.

    You are setting up a real Stockholm syndrome scenario, and I wonder if you have ever seen The Night Porter? I'm attempting to begin a full-length version of a torture fic I wrote not too long ago, so I find a lot of your plot and subtext fascinating.
