Reviews for Family Means More Than Blood

    breaths sigh of relief.
    At least he's square with the most important people in his life.
    Though, why pop him in with the Gryffs? I mean with Har's current personality brave and the bold isn't really him... or maybe he just has it at his core a la Neville. Still, it's fun watching him interact with the twins... and when Neville does eventually show, I hope Har will be kind to him and understanding of Mio and Luna.

    Yay! It's my birthday today and what a wonderful present then another awesome chapter. I'm very happy for Harry, I like when things go well for him. I think your Sirius was great, I always felt he was really immature toward Snape even as adults so I'm glad you've got that. Not much else to say, looking forward to your update!!

    Well, the Great Lady does seem to like making Harry meet the Potters accidentally... doesn't she? ;) And way to go, Harry! That's exactly how I imagine Sirius Black would react too. Although I'm a little surprised he didn't recognise Draco, since Narcissa was his cousin. But I'm very happy you agree with me about Sirius - everybody always seems crazy about him, but I think he wasn't there very long in canon for me to get very attached (and I hated his attitude sometimes). I was much sadder when Dumbledore or Dobby died than him. And your reasoning about Harry (canon and yours) makes sense too.
    Also, I've just realised that if Severus is 28, it means that Lily was pregnant with Harry at a rather young age... Could it be the reason she gave him up for adoption?
    And will Harry's familiar be Hedwig? (I like her) And will Draco bring his cat to Hogwart? (I like her too) And will Severus ever have a love interest?? (Remus for example?)
    Harry is really a dear and so modest... Severus being jealous of other people his son might care about is kinda cute, but Harry and him should really learn to express their feelings for each other more (to help heal each other's insecurities!). And is it me or does Draco seem a little more relaxed around his dad? Or maybe I imagined him being a little more intimidated by Lucius because of canon again?
    Anyway, I hope Harry and Draco's first year at Hogwarts goes well (with no Voldemort coming back yet, if possible?), and that they stay as close to each other (and cuddly in private) as ever. :)
    And thank you for another great chapter!

    previous chappie had me in tears a little, this one well, it's a bit sad that the sins of the fathers... and their dislikes are being carried on to and through their kids. understandable, but sad. Not wanting to know his birth parents, heh, thats so Harry. When he does find out (cause you gotta know at some point he''s gonna) things will get interesting indeed. As for Voldi... he's soooooooooooooooo gonna be back. bet on it.

    Aw! So cute! When you were drawing out Snapes verdict I was like no! But it was all good in the hood. I also love DracoxHarry cuteness, there can never be to much cuteness. Another excellent chapter. But what has become of Voldy? Will he be back? Is there a new villain in the works? And what is the deal with James Potter? Will my questions be answered? Perhaps in the next chapter, which I am eagerly awaiting.

    The love that Harry and Severus share is so, so beautiful and true - you see, that's why it was so hard to watch Harry doubt it in the last chapter! :') Aww, you made me cry a little there.
    Great chapter, and Harry and Draco together are unbearably cute too. I'm just one big puddle of goo from all the sweetness of this chapter.
    Also, to answer your review reply: actually, I did get that Harry was under some sort of Imperius from Voldemort, but canon Harry can throw it off, that's why I said Harry's will seems weaker in this story. I also think that the common annoyance with Harry's insecurities may come from canon too, since in there Harry has a crappy childhood (which could give him a huge amount of insecurities) but still comes out of it brave and with a very strong will. Just a guess, but I think it's rather true for me at least - sorry about that! It's sometimes difficult to let go of canon preconceptions... But I do think that your Harry can already show some strong will in certain situations. Best example: his reactions to James Potter! XD I do hope that Harry would show the same disdain towards Sirius, though, because in my opinion he's even worse than James when it comes to Severus (then again, it might be different in your story?).
    Now let's see if Harry will become the Boy-who-Lived again. I don't know if it can be exactly the same hype here, because Harry's family are previous Dark supporters, so some prejudices might stay. Also, is he a Horcrux now? I hope he doesn't have to go through that... But yay for Voldemort being gone for now! I hope he doesn't already come back through another DADA teacher when Harry starts Hogwarts. I mean, shouldn't Dumbledore be at least a little bit more careful when he hires the next one? I hope it can be Remus too, because I'd like to see how Harry would interact with him - particularly when Remus could maybe smell who Harry's biological parents are... (can you tell I prefer Remus over Sirius?)
    But first I'd love to see some more happy family time between Severus and Harry and with the Malfoys - hopefully? :)
    Thanks for sharing (and replying)!

    Well, they are finally going to have a little rest, they deserve it, Harry is such a sweet boy!!! I wonder if Harry is going to tell Severus how Voldemort played with his feelings, although probably he won

    you think 'well he can't be that stupid' but yeah kids are stupid, so I guess so. Pacifism is for idiots.

    Oh son of a bitch! Cliffhanger fail! Why you be hating? Poor Harry, thinking he'd been abandoned again. I would gladly take him in. And boo on Voldy - he's so mean, plus using your nail to cut someone up is just wrong, upping his creep factor by like ten. Yay for Lucius saving the day, I love Lucius, I don't think there was enough of him in the books - then again I wouldn't be happy till I practically OD'd on the amount of Lucius. I hope Harry's all right. I think he will be, I don't see Draco loving a ghost - he likes hugs to much. Of course I am eagerly awaiting your update and regretting reading this as soon as it came out because it means I have to wait seven whole days for the next chapter.

    Well, that was surprising, to say the least. Harry seems to have a much weaker will than in canon. And even though Voldemort obviously manipulated him, I am a bit disappointed that his insecurities seem to be bigger than his trust in his own father (and his love for him)... And with what he represents (his beliefs, I mean) and what he has seen in his dreams, I also cannot understand how he could not find Voldemort absolutely repulsive (I expected Harry to disapprove of him a while ago too). I mean, as a priest of his religion, shouldn't he reject someone or something that is completely at the opposite of his beliefs? I only hope that putting himself in front of the death curse meant for Lucius will at least hinder - if not cancel - what Voldemort did to Harry with his 'mark'. (fingers crossed)
    Also, what will happen to Lucius and Draco now that Lucius has openly opposed the Dark Lord? I hope they can get to safety in Hogwarts too, and fast.
    Anyway, sorry about the rant. I still love your story and I know that everything is probably done for a reason, but I just wish that Harry would believe in his father's (and godfather's and Draco's) love for him more than in his own insecurities... Will he understand that soon? And will the adults understand the depth of Harry's insecurities? It would be nice if Harry dared to show his own opinions more strongly too, instead of staying rather neutral about everything so that people don't reject him (that is what it looks like to me anyway). The bond to Voldemort sounds quite creepy too (and let's not even go into Voldy's mighty pedo vibes concerning him). Could his 'light' powers as a priest (help) wash Harry of this mark?

    whoa, Voldi's going to be uber pissed. He just AK's his new pet. Poor Har. That miserable rat bastard, what the hells did he do to him? Doesn't sound like imperious. Did he just make a Horcrux outta him... well, that's one way to get his scar. :/
    Neh, with Har's marking. Does the receiver have to agree to have it or can Voldi just do to whomever?
    Wow, Har, seriously self sacrificing kid.
    About Pettigrew... WTH man... does Dumbles never check his staff out or what?!

    Loving this story a little bit more with each chapter!!!! Great story, love the way you fill my head with questions and then how you surprise me. I really hated Voldemort in this chapter, the way he played with Harry

    I like that everything is off just a bit, the whole AU thing is working.

    Peter the paedophile huh? Interesting... I don't want to guess because in your stories My guesses are usually wrong but I get the creepy evil vibe from him. I'm sure he's evil but that's mostly because of the paedo vibe and only slightly from the snakey+rat crystal ball thing. But of course, your story is different from canon perhaps he's a good guy, though I hope not he annoys me.
    As always I'm eagerly awaiting your next chapter!!!!
