    Like the fairy tale, it rings true and I've read a lot of fairy tales and folklore - African, Indian, Native American, Irish, Celtic, Chinese, Japanese and Eastern and Western European.
    Not really buying Harry's ok now just because he can self torture his internalization out of himself now. Still thinking he's on his way to be the next Dark Lord.

    This line threw me--- "James Potter and Lily Evans – perfect for one another, of course, both from good wizarding families, both... high-spirited." Snape and Slughorn both are very much aware that Lily was Muggleborn. She was not from a wizarding family, good or otherwise. This line just doesn't make sense to me. Why would Snape say that? Why doesn't Harry pick up on the error?

    Author's Response:

    Wow.  What a dreadful error, lol.  I'm not super-awesome with canon, but I've known all along that Liy was Muggleborn.  I'm not sure why that line is there, since I have now written this story (wow) - seven or eight years ago.  Given the nature of the story, I was likely trying to point at prejudice again: how, since Lily was such a talented witch, Slughorn thought that she MUST have been a pureblood.

     

    Or, you know.  It's a mistake.

    I really like the story of Morning Brother and Evening Brother. I wonder whatever hppened to Evening Brother's Wife? The bit about him being cut up into pieces reminded me of the Egyptian myth of Osiris being cut to pieces and then being reconstituted and revived by his sister/wife Isis. Hmmm. Did she ever find Evening Brothers pieces and restore him? Now that would be an interesting idea to pursue...

    But, I'm going to set that aside for now and go on to the next chapter. You write so well that it is sometimes hard to stop and review at the end of a chapter because I want to hurry up and see what happens next!

    Author's Response:

    I appreciate all your reviews, though!  :)  Just while answering them, you've reviewed three more chapters, and that makes you awesome in my book.  :D

    I knew that whole 'chopping him into pieces' bit sounded familiar; I was raised on multiple mythologies but don't consciously recall everything I've read.  And there's certainly a symbolic connection between what's happened to Evening Brother and Voldemort's choice to separate himself into smaller and smaller bits.

    Which is odd, b/c this was written before we knew about Horcruxes.  ;)
