Well to start at the last chapter, it was extremely disturbing. I did skim it more than soak up the words but then I felt uneasy.
It wasn't hard to read as such, but then in a way it was. Harry's heart shattered and it was painful to see him so demeaned.
This chapter, just shows how well Snape reads Harry. And unlike Harry, I appreciated his unease and grief about his actions.
It proves he cares and Harry needs him like that. The latter end of the chapter was better and easier to read but then I was glad for it. Too much angst makes my heart sore.
Mmmm I'm not sure what to think of Harry getting to go to Hogwarts but I know you'll have plenty more up your sleeve and I look forward to it.
