Author's Response: Thank you! I hope you like the next one too!
Peace out Author's Response: Thanks, hope you like the sequel too, it's called Hide Yourself from a Prisoner.
-P.G. Author's Response: There's a sequel to this one posted on here called Hide Yourself from A Prisoner and it features the second term of the third year, when Harry returns to hogwarts with Severus. Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Author's Response: I did already. There is a small one-shot that comes inbetween this story,, called Depression Cure, and the sequel, called Hide Yourself From A Prisoner, also posted here.
Author's Response: Thanks and I hope you like the sequel.
::starts cursing Dumbledore in vampiric:: Damned, conceited, arrogant, old, meddling coot! What are his plans? ::glares accusingly at Headmaster:: You know... if he ever gets out of hand you could always threaten him with a vampire or two. ::shrugs with malicious smirk:: Just a thought. Amazing chapter my dear. I love your unique writing style and plotline. It's a rarity indeed and you should be very proud of yourself. ::winks:: Toodles for now! Jewels. Author's Response: Thanks so much and that isn't a bad idea! If I ever run out of options, I'll borrow one of your vampires, okay?
=^..^= Author's Response: Thank you! I'm honored you would stay up past your bedtime for me! LOL! The sequel follows the book POA a bit more closely, with a few AU additions and characters of my own thrown in for good measure, and I've plans for another one after that too! Enjoy!
I can't believe Dumbledore, though! The wanker says he wants to make nice with Snape, but then he goes behind the man's back to wheedle Harry into returning to Hogwarts. If he were a real person, (and magic were available to me) I'd hex him six ways from Sunday. And then, once more for good luck. :-) Author's Response: yes and so would I. I see Albus as someone who wants to do good, but he sees only the big picture and tends to lose sight of the fact that his players are people with feelings and lives and just because you want to do good--like slay Voldemort--doesn't mean you should manipulate people. The old saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" fits him to a T, in my opinion. he wants so much for Harry to be a hero and kill Voldy that he forgets that Harry is just a boy and should not bear such a burden. Good thing in my universe he has Sev to look out for him, huh? Check out the sequel if you want, I followed the books a bit more closely there, but I still added a lot of my own ideas in there.
Author's Response: Really? Well . . .maybe. Thanks for the review.
The only nitpick plotline flaw I could find was in insisting that Harry was two years old when Lily died in October and yet still maintaining that his birthday was in July. This is a physical impossibility that was never explained. (If Lily still died in October and Harry was two, he would have to have been born in October and that would negate the prophecy altogether.) The only other thing was insisting that Harry could fly with the little magic that he had left after stating he was no better than a muggle. Even though in canon squibs cannot fly blooms as the brooms need to react to the magic inherent in a wizards core, and Harry at this point had no core. The only true disappointment was not going deeper into Harry's reactions of not having magic, especially after being made to study subjects he could no longer perform which should have at the time appeared to be rubbing salt into a wound. (Yes, even if we all knew he would get his magic back at the point in the story they were talking years.) Think of being a pianist with a crippled hand being forced to continue to study the piano. Altogether a good father/son bonding story well worth the read. Author's Response: Well, the timeline for this fic was altered a bit, Voldemort just challenged the Potters a bit later than canon is all, a year later instead of the usual fifteen months. I tweaked it that way because I wanted to give Harry and Severus more time with each other when Harry was little to develop a greater bond with each other. As for the broom, the spell that shattered Harry's magic did not work as well as it was intended to, his core was damaged, but it began to mend itself gradually, so Harry can fly a month and a few days afterwards, though that is pretty much all he can do. lastly, Severus wanted Harry to still study his subjects so he wouldn't feel as though he had to abandon the magical world completely and give up being a wizard. He hoped that Harry's magic would return soon, sooner than predicted, and in order to give the child hope, he told him to do his summer homework, acting as if it were a normal summer, where he would be expected to complete assignments and wouldn't be allowed to use magic. That is also why Harry didn't really react too much after awhile, for he was used to doing without his magic over the summer, and he was kept occupied with his new family and friends, so the loss didn't hurt quite as bad. Thanks for reviewing and hopefully I cleared up those few points.
