Awww... I'm sorry that you had such a hard time with this particular chapter, but I can't bring Severus up to date with what's really going on here until he's at least a little bit interested in Harry or there will be trouble...

Everything is starting to change already. It won't be long before things are finally out into the open. Sev is a very clever man, after all, and we can't keep him in the dark for much longer without making him sound... dumb.

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review, my friend. Your every comment means the world to me. :)
