Please write more! I want to see harry grow to be a recluse like severus and severus try to help him instead of albus. Thank you for an amazing story and defending people who have suffered from it. 3

Please update this story is so good

You should update soon. It's a good story, and you represent the issue well. It would be nice if in the end Harry learns to accept what happened and overcome it, because that's what people in this situation deserve. They deserve to be happy.

I definitely don't think you should lead up to Snarry. Harry needs a father figure, not a lover. And I feel like Harry wouldn't really want a relationship especially with an older man. The story is really good so far though.

Well said. You put a warning for the potential readers, it’s not your fault the guest reader ignored the warning.

who said that?! its really good! my life is crazy busy but i still managed to get sucked into your story!
its amazing!

Please please update! I absolutely love this story!

Who ever wrote this letter to you lives in a world with blinkers on. This happens in South Africa daily!And not only here, we live in an evil, sick world. Just look at the porn that is sent to my email spam box without my say so! So if even one person helps another due to your story, well you have done some good in this evil world! Write your story and right truly about how someone works through it and out the otherside of the shame, self-blame, self-hatred, depression any everything else that goes with rape. Boys are meant to be strong, invulnerable etc, so it is even worse to open up and accept help when it happens to them!

I'm in total agreement of your above response. Why can't people take the time to read summaries and author notes? You were very clear on the contents of this plot line. At the end of chapter 7 you mentioned a planned 'snarry' slash. Please don't. As badly damaged as Harry is in all areas of abuse, it should take years to recover to the point of accepting any kind of intimate relationship let alone from a person who will have to work on building any sort of trust between them. Please reconsider; this is well written as well as painfully honest. Don't spoil it. thank you

OMG, I love your story, I cried so much and thank you for not making Snape into a horrible person, but sticking to what I believe would be his reaction to finding out any child had been abused (although I think he would also sneakily find a way to cause as much pain to the abuser as possible) Your writing is done very well, and the reactions of Harry's due to the abuse are accurate with how many abuse victims deal with the situation. Keep up the good work! You are awesome!

This is something I'm mulling over for awhile, because while it's good, it feels incomplete.

One thing I noticed is that when you addressed the 'current hugging', you attributed it to only disgust with oneself being the reason to push away, but equally as much, it's fear of being hurt again-that 'knowing' and 'feeling' are two different things. I think you should address that, because in these conditions, Harry would feel, in pretty much equal proportions, fear AND self-disgust.

is this fan fix being continued ...PLEASE FINISH! IT'S REALLY GOOD

This story is good so far. Can I stab Vernon?

Whoever wrote that review evidently doesn't read much.
There are LOTS of stories on THIS SITE with the same events (many HP too!) Your "Guest" needs to stop reading angst/hurt/comfort stories.

Like you said 'don't like, don't read' Mr. Guest

It is nice to see authors stand up for themselves! It was clearly written in the description that there would be rape and sexual abuse so the person must not be able to understand their meaning. I think your writing is fine and it has changed an improved since you started this fanfic.

Best Wishes,
