    My family had a kitten that got into a yellow jacket's nest. The vet gave him an antihistamine shot and sent him home because he couldn't do any more. That little guy slept on my bed and I mostly on the floor, but it didn't work. Nothing I did helped, but I'm sure he's happier where he is now.

    Author's Response: Aww that's so sad! I hate it when pets die, though you're right, all animals go to heaven.  Thanks for reading.

    Aww I had to review this one now, it was so sweet! I too have sat up all night nursing one of my dogs newborn puppies and willing her to live (which she did) its a very emotional time for anyone to have and im glad that the story is already finished with a sequel so I know he cant die lol (and killing off Harry would have been kinda the end i guess...lol)

    Author's Response: That's right, he won't die, but he sure had Sev scared.  I'm so glad your dog's puppy lived, I hate it when my animals die on me.  Hope you like the rest!

    I like how your portrayed a softer, emotional side of Snape. I really liked how you flashed back to him caring for his dying mother and how Snape fought hard so he didnt lose a loved one. I like how he seems to be bonding with Harry "The Hawk", not knowing it is him. Maybe this relationship will carry on between the two & eachother will have a higher respect for one another. I cant wait to see that.

    Author's Response: I like portraying that side of him, not enough writers do it and he deserves it.  That flashback was so painful and yet it was necessary to figure out where Snape was coming from and why he fights like crazy to save the injured Hawk/Harry.  Oh, it's the greatest irony of all, that bonding!  That could happen.  And if it does . . .well, keep on reading, please!

    great chapter, loved the way severus was so caring and willed the bird to live, the chat with hagrid in the previous chapter showed hagrid in a more adult role and more insightful than what people take him for.

    i know what sev is going through as when i was in my teens i rescued two collared doves which had been knocked out of the nest, one had a broken leg and the other was fine, there parents taught them to fly and eventually they flew away

    Author's Response:

    I wanted to show Hagrid as more of an adult and less of a bumbler or an overgrown child here.  I think he'll make a great mentor for Crabbe just like he did for Severus.

    That's awesome that you rescued two doves.  I fixed up a crow with a broken wing once and let it go once it was better.  But then I tried something similar with a robin and it died. So i can sympathize with Severus here a lot, and then there was my beagle . .

    I just love your descriptions of Severus's seething anger and his thoughts in those first few paragraphs. Really beautifully written.

    I wondered who would find Harry's books. Filch, huh...so no-one is going to make a connection there. Except one of the books is Dudleys'. Will that shelve itself, I wonder as it is a Muggle book.

    Very moving chapter. I was rapt to see that Crabbe had gone back to tr and revive the bird...obviously in this story, he wouldn't be capable of casting a Fiendfyre curse. to try and murder people.

    Glad your beagle recovered and I am glad that HArry hawk seems to be recovering also.

    Snape's reminiscences are very sad. He definitely needs a friend...someone to care for.

    Pointless me making suggestions about punishments because you have already written it. I hope what you did was good though, and I hope that you were a bit easier on Crabbe. I would say it would be really good to have Malfoy hanging upside down from a large perch, thrashing about helplessly. But of course Sev wouldn't be allowed to do that.

    Author's Response:

    I really liked how that part turned out too, and I wasn't even mad when I wrote it . . .but Severus was, so he helped me.  He can be very scary when he's mad.

    Yes, it seemed logical Filch would find them when he cleaned, glad you picked up on that, some didn't.  As for Dudley's book, it won;t shelve itself, but maybe Madam Pince would keep it as a curiosity and wouldn't recognize the name in it either, so no connection to Harry would be made.

    No, not this Crabbe, he has a totally different outlook. 

    Believe me, so am I! My poor Rocky, thank God he's okay.  I love him, he's my baby.

    And I would never have Harry die, it'd be too sad.

    Poor Sev, a friend is what he needs all right and it's what he'll get with his new familiar. 

    I like that idea, by the way, too bad it wouldn't be allowed.  That's another thing I hate--animal cruelty, I am a firm believer in animal rights too. That's why mostly all of my stories have animals in them.

    I did get some very creative ideas in answer to that question though!

    Well that was sad, but I'm glad Harry is still living. As far as punishment goes, I think Draco and co deserve to be suspended for their actions. I don't know if Hogwarts has suspension, but at our school we don't send the kids home. Instead they still have to do school work, but they do it in a room by themselves and it's not hands on either. It's all essay writing and what not. Also all extra-curicular privileges are taken away as well. You might even make it similar to grounding, meaning the three have to stay cooped up in some isolation room and aren't aloud to leave except for during meal times and to go to the designted room where they do school work. And of course letters should be sent home as well. Good luck deciding what to do.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review and your ideas as well.  That sounds like what my nephew told me they do in his school, in-school suspension, they call it, and there is a name only I forget what it is, and he said his friend got it once for something and it really sucked.  He said they were there the whole day and could only do schoolwork and homework and even ate lunch there and it was so boring.  It sounds like a really effective punishment.

    That was very sad, though I'm very glad the hawk is still living. Severus needs a little company in his life, even if it's from Harry Potter, lol. I'm excited to find out how long Harry will stay in his hawk form. I'm afraid that finding out that Harry is the hawk might be a very deep blow for Sev after he gets attached.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: He does indeed, even if he'll never admit it.  Harry will be in his hawk form for quite sometime, since he can't recall who he really is and also doesn't know how to change back.  And you're right about Severus discovering his familiar is Harry is going to make him freak at first.  Until he realizes that he can still have a friend in the boy as well as the hawk . . .if he is willing to overlook the obvious.  But that's another battle.

    Thanks for the Kleenex warning I needed one. Great chapter and a brilliant idea for a fic. As for the punishment how about having Draco and Co catch food for the hawk, I can't imagine Draco enjoying rodent hunting.

    Author's Response: Yuck, neither can I! I feel bad for the mice, LOL! Hope you enjoy the next one I just posted! Thank you!

    Hello, I just wanted to drop a line saying that I really enjoy this story, but I like everything you write! I know nothing about falconry(?), but you're doing a good job of keeping the reader in the loop so to say.

    My suggestion for a punishment is Draco and his buddies cleaning the Owlery for a semester or something similar. Though I think that Crabbe should get a little leeway since he did try to help Harry.

    Anyway this is the longest review I've ever written... So keep up the good work!

    Author's Response: Thanks, I had to do a bit of research myself to make sure I was accurately portraying the equipment used and the anatomy of a bird's wings and treatment of an injured bird.  I hope to introduce more about the sport of falconry during the cours eof this story and will try to make it easy to follow, so you don't get confused.  Thanks for your dieas, they are very good, and for the long review! Glad you're enjoying this!
