    Happy birthday Harry LOL
    Love the party... glad that Tobias has become accustomed to the magic even asking Sev to use magic and is an integral member of the family (after he has missed so many family occasions it is good to be part of this party)... glad a good time was had by all and no mishaps.
    Happy Mother’s Day to all

    Author's Response: Yes, Tobias is really a part of the family now, and he really had a good time. he has finaly accepted the fact that his son & grandson have magic and is willing to let them use it around him.  Just wait until you see what happens at the zoo!

    That was a really nice birthday. Harry sounds like he had a great time, your ideas were really creative. The games were interesting alterations of 'muggle' games, and sound like a lot of fun. Basing some of the birthday stuff in relation to Inky was also nice, Harry sure seemed to like it.

    Harry and his friends should have a really fun time at the zoo. I had to laugh at Sev with trying to get Remus and Sirius to come along and help watch the kids. They sound like they are really dreading it, lol.

    Looking forward to the next chapter!

    Author's Response: yeah, I tried to come up with intersting party games so the kis could have fun and it's always nice to include Inky, since he's part of the famly too!  As for the zoo, just hang on to your hat, girl, because it's going to be one wild ride!

    I'm really glad you have Harry throwing fits and such. A lot of fics with children have them never throwing fits or disobeying or anything like that. It's nice to see a fic portraying a normal child. Harry's bday sounded like a lot of fun, especially those games.

    Author's Response: I would never write something like that, because it's unrealistic.  All children misbehave and get into trouble, it's part of being a kid and should be portrayed as such.  And I had lots of fun inventing those games! But the chapter with the zoo is going to be very very interesting and wild!

    Lovely opening scene, Kathy. I thought Harry's crankiness was very realistic, and since he wasn't able to stifle his tears, it definitely proved how tired he was. :)

    As always, Harry's adorable. I'm really enjoying these chapters from Harry's perspective. I knew you'd write them well.

    Author's Response: Thanks jade, I try really hard to make Harry seem like a normal kid, not a paragon, and all kids have bad days and are cranky and whiny and get on their parent's nerves.  I enjoy shifting POV, it helps keep both my kid perspective and adult perspective in proportion.

    Really cute chapter. I love Harry's little mini trantrums and the fuss over getting his haircut in this chapter, it really does remind you that he's just a little kid, and it's really good to see him not getting to mature too quickly. Loved the birthday party and seeing Remus and Sirius. Tobias really blended in quite well for being a muggle at Hogwarts it was really nice to see everyone getting along. Seeing everyone at the zoo is going to be shall we say intresting??? Curious to see what kind of trouble Padfoot lands himself in. Keep up the awesome work and update again soon. LES

    Author's Response: Yeah, I'm trying to keep him as a little kid as much as possible.  It's never good for kids to grow up too fast and the zoo...let me warn you, it's going to be quite an experience!

    I can only imagine how terrified Sev was to find his son missing. When I was younger, my cat snuck out during a camping trip and I thought I'd lost him forever, so I can understand somewhat of what Sev was going through. His punishment sounds reasonable for his actions, that woman's suggestion was harsh! I absolutely adored it when after he was punished, Harry asked if his dad still loved him ^^ awe.

    Glad both Inky and Harry are safe and that he still got to visit his grandpa. I think it's great the Tobias is sharing his gift for woodcarving with both Harry and Sev. The ending was really sweet, a very sentimental thought.

    I'll be waiting for that next chapter!

    Author's Response: You won't have to wait long, it's posted now! Thanks for your great review, I'm glad you liked this one.

    Wonderful wonderful chapter! I could Feel the anxiety coming off of Sev and I laughed at the chicken-stealing Inky and was angry and relieved when Harry was found. The punishment was also well done and I loved all of it! Keep going!

    Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it so much that you can feel what Sev and Harry are feeling.  It means I'm doing something right.

    Great chapter! I can really appreciate what Sev went thru, since my son ran away once and was missing for about an hour. It was awful! Harry was very lucky, and he deserved whatever he got too. Can't wait to read about Harry's party and all!

    Author's Response: Wow! Thank goodness you got your son back! You're right, Harry was lucky!  Thanks for the review.
