    Some of those pranks on Flint are truly vicious! It’s very touching that Snape is so invested in Harry and is acting like a concerned and involved guardian.

    Are they Hamlet and Twelfth Night?

    Author's Response: :0) Hmm...close. Macbeth and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is my favorite Shakespeare play, and Macbeth just seemed appropriate. (Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble; Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake...?) They even use it in one of the Halloween scenes from the movies. :0)

    Macbeth of course! The witches and the potion were a dead giveaway, and 12th Night, another of my favorites. I love how Severus is handling Harry and trying to make him think better of himself. Pranks for Flint, how about turning his head into a donkey's like Apollo did King Midas in the Greek myths? Only he gave him an ass's ears.

    I approve your choice of Shakespeare plays as a former English teacher. One of my original novels is actually set in that time period and features the Bard himself and a young runaway girl who hides herself from her abusive husband in his theater company.

    I wonder why they don;t do plays at Hogwarts? Think of the cool special effects. Sinistra's just awful too! Why is she like that?

    Author's Response: Huh, how did I miss responding to this? You're right on both counts for the plays, of course. 12th night is my personal favorite. I don't actually like Macbeth all that much - I prefer Hamlet and the Taming of the Shrew. Some people thought it a little unrealistic that I have an eleven-year-old reading Shakespeare, but then I managed as a kid. It just takes a certain patience and willingness to work to figure out the language. They really should do plays at Hogwarts. That would be beyond fun. Sinestra's attitude will (probably) be explained at some point. Mostly, I think, she's just a bitch. lol thanks for reviewing!!

    I think Macbeth and 12th Night are the two plays you refer to.

    Harry was a lot less confrontational in this chapter. He is beginning to get the message I think. That horrid potion must have some magical component in it to stop the hapless miscreant from vomiting. I am sure that something that foul being held in the mouth for so long would definitely induce vomiting in normal circumstances.

    Is there a particular reason (besides Harry's charming nature) why Sinestra has it in for Harry? Just wondering.

    Author's Response: Yup, you're right about the plays. And Sinestra is just a bitch who can't handle Harry's rudeness. I'm inclined to agree about the potion. Yuck! :0) Rhiannan

    Another chapter! Yay! Shakespeare is always fun, I know that one of your plays was Macbeth (crazy people are fun!), I'm not sure what the other one was.I enjoyed this chapter and look forward to seeing what happens next!

    Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for your review!! The other play was Twelfth Night - my personal favorite. :0)

    Macbeth and Twelfth Night, obviously! Personally, I'd think Harry's a little young to have read Shakespeare on his own - perhaps he read an abridged copy =P

    Shape washing Harry's mouth out with the potion for saying he's a freak still seems a little odd to me, but I guess whatever works... and Harry feels a little too angry. I don't know. But hey, he's your Harry, and you know what you're doing with him, so I'll let it go.

    Liked the stuff with Blaise - can we have something with Ron next time? Ooh, can Ron and HArry have a fight? That would be a spectacle and a half - Weasley temper vs. Harry's 10 years of bottled up anger...

    :P Just a suggestion!

    Author's Response: Actually, I read the Taming of the Shrew when I was in fourth grade- younger than Harry, and understood it relatively well. Harry's in a particularly bad mood this chapter, so maybe that's what you don't like. He's got way too much to think about to not have it affect him. LOL I like your suggestion. I'll think about it. Thanks for the review!! Rhiannan

    I will say Macbeth is one. As far as pranks, what about when he opens a book he becomes covered with an exploding powder that turns him neon colors off and on for a week?

    Author's Response: Yup, Macbeth is one. The other is Twelfth Night, my personal favorite. And your prank suggestion is a good one. (Can't promise that I'll use it, 'cause things kinda turn out how they turn out, but I'll consider it :-) )Thanks for your review!!
