    I've never read a fic featuring the founders before. I love this story! It's brilliant!

    Author's Response: Thank you!

    Oh, that's a nice twist. I wonder who else's relatives we'll find in here? I do have to point out that it's rather questionable that literacy would be a problem in the world at this time. This is a year before the printing press was created and so books would be really scarce because every book would have to be copied from another and printed by hand by a scribe or monk. Nobody really needed to read for their jobs, and most people wouldn't ever see a book during their lifetimes. It is said that perhaps their memories were better than ours because they had to remember information passed on by word of mouth; that was how you learned.

    I do think it is believable though that wizards might be a bit ahead of the game in this because they would probably have spells to transfer information from one book to another. I do like the story so far and am excited to see how you develop the founders.

    Yes, that was exactly what I had been afraid of happening. I hope that Severus and harry can help them bring the others back and restore their friendship.

    I'm anxious to meet Sarah, I take it she's married to one of Dumbledore's ancestors.

    Wow...Sarah, Trelawney-Dumbledore? Most intriguing.

    I would have thought it would be just as dangerous for Muggle-borns when accidental magic occurred. At least being taught (and being obedient) would be the safer option.

    Just a couple of things...there was no tea in in Britain in 1032, nor were there spectacles. I am sure you knew that though and you have made it so for the purposes of the story.

    Your descriptions of the castle a thousand... excuse me... 964 years in the past were very obviously well thought out. It's that sort of attention to detail that makes you such a good writer. The story of the girl who was killed was really good. It makes everything fit perfectly. Great chapter!

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you, Kim!  I'm so glad that you noticed the descriptions of Hogwarts because I struggled with it a bit.  I wanted to add details about how the castle had changed over time, but wasn't sure about it at first.  And yeah, the poor girl, but I thought it would be believable and it was a crucial piece to Salazar Slytherin's motivations here, since I didn't want him to just be a one-dimensional prejudiced figure.

    Oh wow! Harry and Snape must be shocked. Trelawney! Ooh, Trelawney-Dumbledore? Dumbledore's, uh...wife, cousin, sister? Other?

    I love this story, and am excited to read more....

    Author's Response: Thanks!  Sarah is married to a Dumbledore in the past.  But the connection is very, very distant by the future!

    Very intersting! I particularly liked the debate about admitting muggleborns. In fact, it was so close to how I always imagined this discussion (in fact, I have roughly planned a story where this discussion will also play an - albeit very marginal - role.
    Sarah Trelawney-Dumbledore? What! Dumbledore is related to Trelwaney? That's a surprise! However, as Harry once was told, by Sirius I think, all pureblood families are somehow related, so why not...

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!  Glad you liked the Founders' feelings and reasons.  I have read about them on other sites and it made me think about why they might feel as they did and what was going on in the muggle world at the time...it surely was very different from the present.

    As for Dumble-dore and Trelawney, it's a very distant kinship by this point, but I kind of liked the idea and Sarah and her husband were supposed to be very clever and powerful as they created the spell that brought Harry and Severus through time.
