Two updates in one day! I love it! The way you describe the medical procedures is amazing, I can see it happening! And the shimmerling intrigues me. Will we learn more about it? I hope so!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! Yes, you'll be learning more about the shimmerling in the next chapter!
Great chapter! I loved how detailed you were, it was very realistic which I can appreciate since I'm a doctor! Can't wait to see what else happens!
Author's Response: Thank you, so glad you liked it, I try very hard to inject a realisitc approach into my fiction, since it makes it more believable.
wonderful chapter!
did you invent the shimmerling?
Author's Response: Yes, I did. I was inspired by a book I saw at B& N called Fairy Foals, it was a book all about mini fairy horses with wings. So I thought, well if they have horses, how about cats? And thus the shimmerling was born.

Oh, this was marvelous! I love it that Sev is adept at healing both with magic and with muggle techniques. And The shimmerling sounds like he's going to make it. Whew! THe story about how Sev helped Lily was wonderful and so was the last bit where Harry went out ot check on the shimmerling in the middle of the night. I wish i could draw the image I have in my head of Harry asleep on the couch with the shimmerling curled up on his chest on the sofa. Sweet!
Author's Response: Thanks, I wanted to give Sev a diverse background, since he was raised both as a Muggle and a wizard and it makes sense that he would have both methods to draw on. I'm glad you liked the Sev and Lily bit and that image of Harry with the shimmerling at the end is stuck in my head too!
Great chapter - I really like the way the shimmerling was healed (and the story Severus told), and the way it was having trouble because of its proximity to iron; makes a lot of sense.
Author's Response: Thanks, I read a lot about fairies and stuff and I noticed most of the legend stress that those associated with the fairy realm have problems with iron, they're allergic to it or it burns them, so I thought it made sense to continue with the tradition and have the shimmerling react badly to its presence as well. I always like giving those little tidbits about Sev's past too.

I not only love the way Severus healed the shimmerling but I loved how detailed everything was you really put a lot of thought into every minor detail in the story, I guess that is why I like this story so much. I think Severus is now on a pedestal in his son's eyes; he is a hero to his son and I think the fae creature would agree with Harry
Author's Response: I try and put a lot of detail into most things I write, I like it when people can "see" what I see in my mind. Little things are important, they make a situation seem more real, which is what I want my readers to feel, and I'm happy that you think I've succeeded! And Severus is now a hero indeed, to both of his sons, I think and the shimmerling, who does have a name, which you'll find out in the next chapter, does too!
