Thank you for your review Shannon.  I use that phrase all the time too, and we Canadians use mostly British spelling, but I'm not sure about our terminology. I curious as to where in Canada you live.  I live in Montreal.

if you noticed Lesley, who is from Australia has said that she uses this expression, as well.  Australians use many British terms--so I will be checking that out.  I wanted the story to be as true to form as much as possible.

Thank  you Lesley.  I was kind of wondering about that statement beting labled as an Americanism too.  I will explain later why Harry went into the Pensieve to begin witth, and why he is not as angry as he might be, about James not being his father.  As far as Harry having the book for a year and not realising that it was a Horcrux, well...alot of these questions will be answered later. But, remember how angry Snape was when he realised that Harry had used his spell on Malfoy.  He was starting to suspect that Harry had the book at that point.  It made him very nervous.

Dont worry about Dumbledore being the bad guy.  Harry is just angry right now; he will eventually realise that Dumbledore only did what he thought was right to protect him.  After all, Dumbledore didn't know the extent of the abuse that Harry suffered at the hands of the Dursley's, nor did he truly believe that Severus was capable of bringing up a child alone, without Lily.

Oh, I hadn't thought that that statement might not be considered British enough.  Thanks for pointing that out.  Time frame, well it takes place shortly after the Final Battle. Almost right after. Sorry if that's a little unclear.

Thank you Tabitha!  I couldn't have done it without your help!  Thanks again.  You are right, I will try and work harder on Harry's emotions.  He has been through alot, and this is supposed to be a happy time for him, now he has THIS to deal with.   Thanks for reviewing!  ;)
