...okay I need another chapter! You can't just LEAVE me here Pweeze?

That was fun! Yum on all the angst. Although it seems a bit harsh that he HAS to marry Potter it DOES make sense that Sev would be in danger of being injured by a resentful coerced spouse or a spouse who's not the father of their child. But WHY is the wizard world so prejudiced against Soul Givers? Why can't they run their own lives?

And what punishment is Harry facing if there's a trial? It looks like there won't be one but what would happen? And you're right, NO ONE will believe Sev if it's his word against Harry's but I thought he did try to fight Harry a little bit, didn't he? I'll have to reread the beginning.

But THANK YOU for updating. And yeah I know I'm asking for a lot but - when do we get the next chapter? Can't wait!

Boy, you sure ask a lot of questions! LOL. I'm now working on the next chapter, along with an A-Team fic at the same time. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment and I'm not sure when the next chapter will be finished. But, hopefully it won't take as long as this one did!

It's not that the wizard world is prejudiced against Soul Givers. I perfer to think of it like protective custody. You know, kind of like we do to endangered species; sticking them in zoos, tagging them, etc. They must be protected because there are so few of them. I'll have more about that in the next chapter or two.

Sev didn't really fight because he'd learned early on in his life that fighting wouldn't do him any good and it just might earn extra punishment. He didn't want it, but he'd been trained to just take it. Sad, I know.

As for the rest of your questions, you'll just have to wait. They will be answered. I don't like to give anything away, keeps people on the edge that way!

Yes, I know, I'm very, very, very evil!

Oh, I hope that Dumbledore will truly be Severus' Advocate and will not immediately start making excuses for Harry's behavior. Too bad there's nobody else that Severus could claim was the father to help him stay out of a Potter-who-hates-him's control.

This is getting more and more interesting, and I think you're doing a wonderful job! Thank you!

Yes, Dumbledore will be Severus' Advocate and I'm not sure if he will make too many excuses for Harry. In fact, I'm willing to bet that he'll stick up for the Potions Master. The next chapter will have more explainations of why Severus couldn't just pull a name out of a hat and why he and Harry have to marry.

I got a note from you saying that chapter 6 was up but you posted that back in January when I read it. Did you mean to say you posted chapter 7? And if so can you give me the link? Thanks!

soulsrant February 19 2011, 21:53:07 UTC

No, this is chapter 6. I didn't know that you've already read it. I have all of the chapters in my memories if you want to go through them.

Oh my GOD, YOU HAVE UPDATED! And this was such a good chapter, we can finally see a side of Severus that no one else can see. I love the line about him wanting to wear different colours other than black. You have said that this will be RL SS, please bring good old Remus into this soon. Update, update, you have something wonderful here, and I really want to see this ended well. I love this, good one!

soulsrant February 19 2011, 21:55:00 UTC

Thank you! Yes, it will be eventually RL SS and Remus will pop his head up soon. But, poor Severus will have to go through alot to find his happiness. But, he will be happy in the end.

librasmile asks lots of good questions. I understand the idea of treating the Soul Givers as a rare prized animal and Snape's fear of fighting back. The Soul Givers sound like a very wizarding world construct, so Harry might not be aware of them. It'll be interesting to see his response to having to marry a pregnant man. Very interesting read, thank you! Keep me informed if the next chapter pops up =)

soulsrant February 19 2011, 22:02:03 UTC

Thank you! Yes, Soul Givers are a sort of secret that the wizarding world want to keep quiet for their protection. Not many outsiders know about them and it's a subject not taught in the schools. Sort of like the Horcurxes. Old families know of them, but not the details and laws surrounding them. As the story progresses, I'll have a more detailed back history on them and why they're not mentioned much in the wizarding world.
