    Why Hagrid and not Poppy, I wonder?
    Harry insulting Dumbledore was brilliant!

    Author's Response:

    Twixie was very stressed and she'll go to Hagrid first, as he was the one to tell her to watch over Snape.  Hagrid will then call Poppy and the two of them will help Severus while Freedom watches.  Plus. hagrid is the only one who will be able to get freedom away from Severus without hurting either the hawk or getting attacked by him. 

    Thought you'd like that part, LOL!

    Nicely done! No gratuitous blow-by-blow description of impossible-to-survive torture by Voldemort, but still got the point across quite clearly--thank you! It was tastefully done.

    And the opening scene with Ablus--::cracks up in hysterical laughter::

    I'd imagine after this, if a restored Harry recalls clearly his time as Freedom, it won't matter if Snape goes bonkers at finding out Freedom was Harry all along--Harry's still gonna kill Voldemort, specifically for Snape. Saving a living person you care about gives a whole lot more motivation than vengeance for someone already dead who can't be hurt anymore, and I don't think Harry had any least idea before what exactly Snape goes through in his spying. He didn't want to think about it. And if Snape did it all for Harry's Mum--Harry's a forgiving sort; he can put himself in somebody else's shoes and empathize with their choices, whether he agrees with them or not, even if he sometimes needs a jump-start to do it for folks he's developed a prejudice against. Snape's "protective coloring" is awfully hard to see through, even for adults.

    And Harry is *so* gonna be pissed off at Albus Dumbledore when he's human again!! That is a scene I'm *really* looking forward to reading!

    ...I really, *really* hope you continue writing more stories when this one is finished. ::big sad pleading puppy dog eyes::

    Author's Response:

    Good, I don't like protracted torture scenes, I mean I have a good enough imagination to supply what went on without having it graphically spelled out.  The same with sex scenes.  You're right about Harry now having a more personal reason to kill Voldemort now that he sees exactly what Severus does for their side on a regular basis.  I think that part of Severus's duties is sort of overlooked by a lot of people, it's always well Snape went to spy on Voldemort, but what does that really MEAN? Well, basically it means going through hell, having to pretend to enjoy killing and torture and all those other awful things and sometimes having it done to you as well.  I often wonder how those CIA and FBI guys do it when they work undercover for counter terrorisn, which is much like what Severus does.  How much copunseling do THEY need when they finally come home? And are they appreciate for doing a job most people would never be able to?

    You're right about Harry being a forgiving person, and once he recalls everything, he will understand Severus much better and know that his initial reaction might not be what he actually feels, but a cover, as will his own. 

    And yes, he really is going to have words with the Headmaster, LOL!

    You mean maybe a sequel to this one?

    I like this one. Harry is such a smart and funny hawk.

    Author's Response: He is, and just wait till you see what he does next chapter!

    Very well done indeed.

    Half expected Harry to change back when the hawk's frustration level got to a certain point, but this is even better. Especially since the two haven't bonded enough to handle the revelation as yet.

    Thank goodness for Twixie. Nice little addition there.

    Author's Response: Exactly, though that could very well have happened, given the fact that when Harry transformed the first time, it was out of sheer desperation.  But you're right, neither of them would be able to handle the shock yet, and Harry still needs to remember he's a boy.
