    Wow that was just nice. I love the development of thier relationship, it isnt rushed. The sweet moments make up for the angst that they both feel

    Thank you again,Miss Waters for another beautiful chapter.I'm so "enchanted" by this story, and adore the way you write, that I will be grateful for whatever pace you'll posting.

    Another amazing chapter written by the equally amazing Emily Waters.
    The whole forgiveness scene was extremely powerful. When Harry said "Go on.", I was like "Oh crap, what's Harry up to?" But my favorite part was "Severus stared down, barely able to comprehend what just happened. Somehow, Harry took his entire life-story and re-told it in a new way, granting an understanding and acceptance that he had never believed possible." Beautiful.
    And UST doesn't even begin to describe what's going between Harry and Sev ;). Don't worry about finishing at a lightning pace because forced stories always come out as crap, and this is way too gorgeous of a story to be ruined like that.
    Great chapter!!

    Yes quite - there may be some blame attached to his joining Voldemort in the first place, but teenage boys are prone to idiot politics, and given that he *was* Voldemort's man at the time, it would have been very remiss of him *not* to relay the prophecy. And Dumbledore responded with quite unnecessary harshness, I think because he saw his teenage self in Severus and lashed out at it. You can imagine if Regulus had tried to defect, and Albus had been equally harsh and rude to him, Regulus would have told him where to stick it - he only got away with it because Severus is actually very forgiving.

    As for the story itself, it's extremely good, but I feel if you're going to spend another 20 chapters sorting out the relationship between Severus and Harry you could do with breaking it up slightly by introducing some other element, to prevent the pacing from getting too same-y. A dramatic storm, a mass cockatrice break-out, a political coup - something of that sort. How about a hurricane, resulting in much drama and the cockatrices being scattered all over the island?

    Lovely chapter. I'm so glad that Snape didn't stay angry with Harry for long. I love how you manage to keep him human with his own will and choices but still have that slave bond there metaphorically poking him. The story is transpiring nicely, don't feel like you're in a rush to complete it. Good writing takes time, and that we're all grateful for.

    This latest chapter (51) was deeply moving and superbly written. Thank you Emily.

    Hmm, I'm glad you made Harry state again how awful Dumbledore was being when he told Snape he was disgusting, after Snape pleaded for the protection of Lily's life. 15 more chapters? I'm surprised by that, but I look forward to this new change of the bond. I assume there are other covenants that can be formed, but I'm guess Hermione might act as Guardian? Something makes me think it COULD be Neville, but I'm not sure about that. Very sweet ending to this chapter too by the way, nice job.

    I like the conversations that take place in this chapter. You do a great job of conveying Sev's self loathing and his need to be repentent without making him a blubbering wuss. Harry's forgiveness and retelling was brilliantly done, I only hope that Sev can really accept them. I really like the flashbacks to Dumbledore and his explanation of the convenant. Nicely done, and the way you don't quite make Dumbledore good or evil but more complex depending on who's talking about him in this chapter. Great addition and a good step forward in their relationship. Let's hope they keep evolving into something more like real lovers. I can't wait to see how this convenant plays out.

    A painful & surprising turn of events... I guess I didn't see that coming. Will a covenant really be enough? ('course I don't know what your idea of a covenant is).
    So well written. Looking forward to your next chapter.

    Awesome chapter.
    It's interesting to see the typical Gryffindor tendencies (naivety, etc) mixed up with the connection of pleasure and power in Harry even after the fragment is gone.
    Great writing!

    Hmm. Well, it's probably inevitable that sharing his head with Tom for nearly all his life, and most intensely for the past few years, would have left an imprint on Harry himself. He's been conditioned.

    As a successful Occlumens, Snape must have a very good understanding of the contents of his own head. Harry, on the other hand, judging from what we see in the books, has almost no inner life. He thinks, to an extent, but he doesn't think about thinking.

    It's probably inevitable, then, that when Harry is asked about something like this he will play it down and avoid talking about it. Snape - as somebody acutely self-aware - will assume that Harry is being secretive and evasive and is intentionally excluding his lowly slave, whereas in fact Harry is probably ducking the question because he's never thought much about it, and doesn't have the self-knowledge or the vocabulary to start now.

    Just when you think they are fine things just come up to make them step backwards. Thier relationship just keeps one moving back and forth
