Um...maybe I'm not remembering rightly, but weren't the three of them supposed to be using other names than their own? I thought that it wasn't just for their air tickets, but to make sure that no accidental sightings (or overhearings) of their real names happened. Didn't Albus have Harry in a room with a trampoline briefly, in an earlier chapter? Just asking...no disrespect intended. I am enjoying this chapter, though looking forward to whenever Snape starts to realize he can't call the others their last names (whether their own or aliases) in public.
Author's Response: Yes, they aren't supposed to, but old habits die hard. :) And Snape's a jerk. Just because Dumbledore lets Harry do something doesn't mean that Snape will. :) In any case, Harry was on a miniture trampoline at Hogwarts, which doesn't lead to the same flipping and possible injuries. thanks for your comments.
It may have taken Snape forever but it sounds like he got more of the basics than Hoppity did. I wonder what she came up with for dinner? I'm glad that Harry found a friend. At least he will know someone at school when he starts.
Author's Response: Snape is a lot more capable than the others give him credit for. I see him being a regular help in Harry's life, not only when he is deaged, but afterward. :)
Lol, Snape would be camera paranoid. I feel bad when he interacts with Harry because I'm used to "fanfiction Snape," who eventually becomes nice. I'm not sure that yours is going to, though I am glad that he's got Harry's best safety interests in mind.
-P.G.
Author's Response: Don't worry, Snape will eventually become "nice" but in his own way. :) It will develop and I think that you will like how it turns out.

You stupid child, we are far, far away from any Medi-wizards. If you injure yourself, you shall have to deal with Muggle practices. Do you know what they do in Muggle medicine? They cut people up and sew their wounds closed with string. And do you know what they do with broken bones? Nothing! They leave them alone because they can't-do-anything!" He lightly shook the boy to get his point across. "If you break your neck, it will stay broken!"
That line right there is just ooohhh crazy good! There is so much about this chapter that I really liked that I'll probably forget to mention a lot of it but eh. All the dialouge between Snape and Hoppity was great. Snape is such a git!
That part where Snape was all concerned about Harry jumping on the tramp was awesome. I know I mentioned the wording earlier, but the things that were unsaid were great too. I got that tight feeling in my stomach, lol.
You know how you said this chapter went on forever? That's not really a bad thing. I found it to be rather fun to read. Thanks so much for sharing!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for all your reviews! And the rewording of that part was a treat for me too. I got the tingly stomach! hehe. :D Thanks again!
LOL, it's been so long I hardly remembered helping you with this chapter! ;-) Poor Harry--"I'm fifteen, you know!" Man, you're going to give the boy a complex! I think it would have been better if he didn't remember being older, in a sense--so that he didn't feel so conflicted. Then again, there is the issue of him being MUCH more vulnerable in that case--I'm surprised they'll let him out of their sight at all, much less if he were *actually* six years old!
On to the next chapter, now!
Author's Response: Whoooo!!! Vulnerable!Harry yay! Let's bring on the complex!
