Poor guy.  It's really embarrassing to look so weak.  But he'll get better. I like seeing this side of Albus.  Someone who actually cares and gets a little testy when someone's not taking care of themselves.

I hope Severus is coming to realize that there are people who care about him.  I am glad Albus got in his face.

Hehehe, Snape in the middle of attention - I bet he hates it. Lovely how they made him eat and he too sick to refuse. Looking forward to the next chapter!

That's an awful lot of work just to appear well.  I know, he wants his fuss free privacy.  Can't he just tell the ministry that he won't make all of the potions they have requested?

So, so, when is this?  Is Voldemort in the picture, I can't tell. Nice beginning.

They're on to him and hopefully will get the poor guy to bed.

Well, now I'm really worried about him.  Not able to eat, feels like he has "stones on his chest"...and he damn near fell asleep in the toilet.  This man is suffering!  Send help soon.   PS:  I notice your note about not being a native English speaker.  Congratulations!  You are a better writer in English than some native speakers I know.

As if someone were piling stones on his chest?....That sounds serious.  Send relief soon!...and more story!  Thanks for Chapter 1.  

Poor guy.  I can imagine that he easily sinks into depression.  I'm glad he fights to not go there.

Poor Severus sounds like he could use a little fuss made over him, might ease the depression a little.  Interesting start.  I look forward to the next chapter.

I like it!  What in the world is happening to Severus?  Those "certain women will start to make a fuss" over him as soon as they realize what is going on.This promises to be very entertaining!  Good job!Beth

This is a very intriguing story this far, thanks for sharing!

Minerva's caring attitude was sweet.  He's really embarrassed, poor guy.  But it was a good thing, I think.

Note to self... never mess with Poppy Pomfrey.Oh, I felt embarrassed for Severus myself, but she had to have him listen to her and do what she said.  Poor guy, so very sick...

poor Severus!  you worked in some backstory and now I feel sorrier for him than I did before!  I'm glad the ladies are on to him.  I like his easy relationship with Filch.

I think it's funny he is planning to try to get the house-elves to lie about his non-existant breakfast.  If he spent as much effort on his own health as he has been spending on keeping his problem from his friends, he might not be ill at all!

A good beginning.  I think you do a fine job describing his illness.

Oh, yeah, he's doomed alright.  Those two are going to harp and henpeck and make him comfortable, and hopefully take care of him.  Isn't it funny that when you really need to lie down it seems that everything goes wrong?

You've certainly got my attention...and I'm worried about the Professor.  I was touched at the suggestion that Argus Filch is sensitive to Snape's condition and concerned about him but doesn't nag him.  Just a small correction:  The first quote from the two students should go to Hanson.  You've inadvertently given both quotes to Connor.  And a little later on, did you mean to say that Hanson "staggered" back, rather than "stuttered" back?

Addicted!  That explains a lot about his symptoms.

Oh, it's so hard to see himself so negative about his relationships.  Hopefully Poppy can help Minerva see that.  I enjoyed Poppy's motherly attitude.  Severus needs someone like her in his corner.

Addiction is one of the hardest afflictions to admit.  I doubt that Severus has truly accepted that he is addicted to the other potions yet.  It is much like alcoholism. Denial is more than a river in Egypt.  Let us hope Severus can traverse it.

Poor guy.  At least there's a potion to help with being addicted to pain potions.
