Anger pitted in my stomach when I heard Poppy's first words in over a year. An adult woman, that has been violated herself, condoning this behavior? How appalling. I've never been violated before, but when I guessed my uncle was molesting and raping my cousin, I told immediately, and I was right- he was. My aunt, my cousins own mother, thought my cousin liked it because she lived with it for so many years in silence. I believed the mingled love for her father, a deep fear of him, and the humiliation of discovery stopped her from confiding. I never would have known he was abusing her if he hadn’t tried to get me down as well. The only thing that stopped him- was my cousin herself. I feel most secure around her, knowing that she would protect me from any harm. Today, she’s a wonderful mother who has learned to trust again. I’m sorry what happened to you SW, and your aunt’s heartless reaction. Social stigma is a strain on victims that perpetuates the cycle of abuse, allowing abusers the privacy to continue abusing. More importantly, this stigma discourages victims from confiding in someone they trust, because oftentimes those they trust, turn on them- showing no understanding, compassion or acceptance. ‘Enticed’ my ass, auntie. Brilliant work southern

Author's Response: Oh, your poor cousin, and what's worse, it was her own dad. Now that's truly horrible. I am glad that you told. When it's someone you know and trust, I tend to think it is much worse. You love and hate them at the same time. You're afraid of what others will say, and as you know, sometimes they make you out to be the "enticer" or some other rubbish.

My aunt was much like Poppy, having experienced something she considered "far worse" and just totally blow over what I'd said. She called my grandma and told her. My grandma really got on her arse for being so nonchalant about it. I've never talked to my mom about it, or anything else, but I know that she was told. I think she paid him a visit, but I was told not to let my dad know b/c he likely would have gone to kill the guy, as he was also a friend to my dad.

I agreed with that. I didn't want my daddy to know that some creep touched me. But this taught me that sometimes you can't always count on those who "love" you to look out for you. It's just made me into a very suspicous person. I don't like that about myself, but my mind wonders about odd things. That and the other situation ruined me for a long time. It's hard to learn to trust again, but it's great when you finally do. Cheers and thanks.

Another brave chapter. It's very frustrating to be victimized and not having anyone either beleive you or to blame you for the victimization. I've found that if the man is the financial supporter of the family, a mother will sometimes even allow him to molest his own children and look the other way because she thinks she has no other option. Very very sad...I hope Hermione gets the strength she needs to hex him...

Author's Response: I agree. That's sort of the angle I put on it here. He's in charge, they need him, so Poppy would rather look away. Yuck. Things will change for her. Thankfully! Cheers!

Poppy pissed me off. Where does she get off. One would think they wouldn't want anyone else to endure what they had happen to themselves. She's always seemed a bit sadistic... example harry taking skelegro - what were you expecting pumpkin juice... i think she needs a visit from mary poppins. will she figuire out what snape is up to? does he talk in his sleep? hopefully she will poison him.. that aunt sounds like my girlfriends mother. she's constantly interferring in her life. when my girlfriend moves she doesn't tell her mother where she lives. It takes the woman a few months to find her. But on a happier plotbunny - how about a story where mary poppins is hermione's aunt or a teacher in being a nanny.

Author's Response: LOL... I agree. Poppy is normally very saucy! She even tells the headmaster to get out when she doesn't want her patients pestered. I'm thinking she should have more of a nurturing nature, but I suppose in her mind it won't help (in this story).

About my aunt, the only reason I told her about that night was because she'd been talking about something that happened to her when she was younger. So I felt compelled to comiserate with her. That's why I wrote that Poppy had experienced something along the lines of what Hermione did. I agree. It should have made her understand it more. I think she felt like what happened could have been worse, and I should have appreciated it. Yuck, I say.

I'm sorry that happened to you, all i can say is-- you're not alone. You're a wonderful writer, and I enjoy the stories you write very much.

Author's Response: Thank you. Hopefully the next chapter will give us all a sense of relief. I appreciate your comments. :)

This story hasn't been easy reading times but is still a gripping story anyway. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you (sends hug). I certainly hope Hermione gets away from this particular Snape soon...

Author's Response: Thanks. It's been many years now, and it's easier to talk about (with friends--still not with my mom), but it's quite a sad situation. Hermione will definitely get away from him. Cheers!

Oh Sun I'm so sorry... So sad...

Author's Response: Ah, it's been a long time. I wish I would have the mind I have today when that happened. I'm a lot "meaner" now. Hahha! I suppose that is likely why though. Cheers! xoxo

wow

Author's Response: I know. He was quite harsh and unfeeling. :(

I never comment, even when I read good stories, but I felt that this time I had to speak. I want to thank you for daring to bring up an extremely uncomfortable situation and showing all characters in true lights. I've read too many fics where Hermione is raped by Snape but ends up liking him anyway. And even though it makes me feel a lot better when reading, I feel that it really doesn't cut it. It's not reality and it definitely doesn't do any good for the image of rape. I have never been placed in a situation like that in your story, but my eyes were opened to the real horrors of rape and the conflicted feelings that come out of it. Thank you for dispelling the fanciful notions of rape as a "sexy" thing. I love your stories and I love the way you write. I really hope to read more soon - keep it up.

Author's Response: Thank you. I appreciate the comments. I, too, have read many stories dealing with rape and eventual love. Sometimes I wish the feelings would be a little more developed, or if they must be together, go through the steps. I am also guilty though of feeling better about the actual deed if they do find love, even though I don't think that would normally be plausible. And, you never know, maybe someone will be asked for advice on a situation similar to this, and someone might remember this story and be more helpful than Poppy was to Hermione. Thanks again!
