    Oh, Hedwig.. :( It took me a while to get over what happened to her in the 7th book. I'm actually surprised Vernon really didn't kill her in the actual series. Poor Harry. It's good he can cry, though. Holding it in is much more unhealthy...hopefully this means he's making a little progress. I really like the idea about Severus making Harry write in a journal. You did a nice job with this chapter :) Just oddly curious: which story do you find easier to write...Whelp or Shadows? I enjoy them both immensely!

    Author's Response:

    Hi Jade,  I actually find Whelp far easier to write.  I think it's because, although both deal with tough topics re: child abuse, Shadows is really focused on Harry's recovery, where Whelp has ample opportunities for him to just act like a child.  I've had experience working both with children who have been abused, and with adults who have been victims of rape, and of the two, I found working with children easier, too.  But it's something I wanted to try, here, so I'm doing my best!  Glad to see it seems to be working, over all.

    Thanks for the review!

    Very well written chapter. You write this kind of situation very convincingly.

    Author's Response: Thanks, wynnleaf!  As I mention to Jade (above -- can other readers see the responses?) I've worked with rape and abuse survivors, and so have an inkling, anyway, of the process they go through in recovery.

    Another wonderful chapter. Snape is great in this. Poor Hedwig, of all things. I'm glad you have Snape realizing what Hedwig meant to Harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review!  Yeah, more will be made of Snape's background, and how come he knows how to deal with Harry.  But not till later.  I should have a new chppie out this weekend.
