    Hey I like so far!! Your Harry is so cool!! And I like your Sev, too. The grudging truce between him and James seems plausible, given that the two have continued to work together and Lily's still around to vouch for Sev. Much good. :-)

    Author's Response:

    Prior attempts at sober responses towards such positive reviews may be seen below; allow my abandonment of proper English to demonstrate how I actually feel:  Eeeeee!!!!!!!  I HEART Reviewers!  Thank you so much, Rhiannan, I'm in love with my Harry too, even though I'm scared he's not real (both in the sense that he talks and acts too smart for a little kid, and, yeah, in the 'Hate to break it to yah, there is no Santa Claus' way).

    Hi. Great opening! I'm really interested to see where this one goes. I take it Snape is on Voldie's side? And, I have to ask, do you have a friend/relative called Elspeth in the Orkney's, 'cos everything else seems american! ;D Do a lot of kids do summer school? Why is Harry going? x

    Author's Response:

    Blinks.  I think I know what side Snape's on as much as he does. 

    And American?  Good grief, you really think so?  I was aiming for Canadian, actually.  Nah... the author has a mortal dread of Brit-picking, hence she tends to ignore accuracy in favour of playing with plot and character.  Although, feel free to elucidate any glaring faults...  you are correct, of course, generally elementary students don't do summer school. 

    And, alas, I imported the name 'Elspeth' from somewhere far closer than England--try the local cemetary (abashed grin).

    Wow, Harry is so sneaky in this. I love it!! :)

    He's like the artful dodger or something.

    Author's Response:

    Considering where he's going to end up, he'd better be sneaky... that's all I can say... and he has a long ways to go before he'll have a shot at surviving what's ahead...

    Very funny and very good! I like your version of the wizarding world very much. Bravo for some very excellent writing (despite the travails of too much Baudelaire).

    Author's Response: Thanks!  Actually, I like Baudelaire and the Decadent Movement in general.  They made urban poetry the 'in-thing', where previously more attention was given to didactic and nature poetry (a holdover of the Romantic movement).  Maybe there's a similar trend with the contemporary shift in popularity from more formal epic fantasy (like LotR and Chronicles of Valdemar) towards urban fantasies like the Dresden Files and stuff by Charles De Lint, but I could be just seeing things.

    This is brilliant. Do you read Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett? You've a flare for writing like them. Keep it up.

    Author's Response:

    The Venerable Aged Author congratulates Kelsey on her positive reception of the story, and hopes Kelsey shall continue to give such accurate accessments of fiction (viz. 'brilliant') in the future.  The VAA must now confess she has never read Pratchett, and never finished 'Hitchhiker's Guide' due to its soporific effects. 

    Chagrined pause.

    Having confessed the latter, the author shall apparate off before her readers stop gawping and shooting Avadas her way..

    What an interesting take on the Potterverse! I love Harry's siblings (Elspeth rocks!). I was very intrigued by Severus' and Lily's conversation, the business withthe lamp in Dumbledore's office. And Voldemort is... well, I really having settled on an appropriate adjective but hte characterisation is great. I look forward to reading more.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Actually, I think I might have Voldemort more than a little OOC at the moment, but I had to humanize him to turn him into as much of a politician as he is a terrorist.  And we will be seeing quite a bit more Severus and Lily interaction... eventually.

    I love this story. A rebellious crazy Harry and Sirius driving their parents made. Who could ask for more.

    This is really uinique. I can't wait for your next update. This is very different from anything I've read before.

    Author's Response: Thanks!  I've been somewhat disappointed to find so few fics where Harry, knowingly or otherwise, finds and uses positive aspects of being a horcrux, so I decided to create one.

    Wow, this is a really unique take on the whole Voldie thing. I'm looking forward to reading more.

    So James and Lily are alive, and Severus is Harry's Godfather, and they're all friends, and Voldie wants to kill them all. Hmm...off to the next chappie.

    Author's Response: Thank you, thank you.  (Mock bow).  Please feel compelled to throw money, or failing that, further reviews, as my ailing tuition fund and ego could use the boost.
