I'm sorry everyone, I know I haven't updated in like forever, but school's been really hectic and I went camping, so I had nowhere to plug in the computer (though I could've sworn that tree had some sort of current going through it). I had chapter 4 all written out for you, but Dreamweaver gave me a brilliant idea, so I'm moving chapter 4 to ch5, and writing a new ch4 in it's place. I hope I finish it soon so I can post it, but I dunno, life's crazy right now (stupid homework) lol.
Dreamweaver asked a few questions in a review, but I couldn't reply because it's anonymous. Here's your answers:
Snape was the only person in the house at Grimmauld Place when Harry did that switch the Secret Keeper thing?
Yes, he was. Everyone else left after the Order meeting.
Snape is given as being all too observant. He'd have to be to do what he does (both school and spy wise). Then, he goes through waking up and all its relative procedures, making himself coffee, into reading the newspaper, through Harry's tirade and falling unconscious, and he never realizes he doesn't recognize where he is until Chapt 3 where it says it finally occurs to him sometime in the middle of Harry's 16 hour faint?
When the Secret Keepers were switched, Snape didn't not recognise the place, he just forgot where he was (he knew he was in the Black house). Like most of us, he doesn't spend every waking moment consciously thinking about his location, and so many things happened that only during Harry's faint did he have the time and clearer mind to stop and thing. And it wasn't so much a realisation as a startling observation (wouldn't we all be a little worried if we suddenly forgot where we are or where we lived). lol. thx for your review, I think I'll pinch your 'meanwhile, back at the…' idea. Hope I cleared those points up.
