    Moving along nicely. Perhaps the next chapter the mystery of the box will be cleared up.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks. Uh, will you forgive me if you have to wait a bit longer for the mystery to be solved? (Is ducking.  Running away from irate readers!)

    The description of Scabbers was really vivid and very good. Even Harry thinks the rat is creepy! Go Harry!

    I still think it's funny that Ron brought his rat to Egypt with him. *giggles*

    Love how Hagrid sent him the book. That book would scare the bejeeses out of me! *snort* Harry askingn Snape to the Ice Cream parlor! *giggle* The image of Snape licking an ice cream cone is hilarious to me. I really don't know why! It just is.

    Almost everything Snape says in this chapter makes me smile, for no other reason that I can so see him say it!

    OOH! A WILL! OH MAN! OH, OH, OH! I am very excited! So mysterious! So intriguing! I WANT MORE! Very awesome chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Oh thank you. Well some of the events did happen in Canon, I just embellished them a bit. 

    Yeah, even Hagrid's books are made of wild beasts.

    Yeah, I think that when the shopping trip is finished, I think that Snape deserves a large ice-cream sundae with lots of chocoalate syrup, whipped cream and cherries on top.  Damned..."I" want one now!

    Oh thank you RK, and I'm looking forward to more from you too!

    That was a mean cliffhanger! Can't wait for an update, now more than ever because of that cliffhanger!!

    Author's Response:

    Aw, sorry. It just seemed like a good place to end. (Yeah right! Common response by author, when she or he gets nailed by the reviewer for once again leaving them with a cliffie!) 

    Will you forgive me, if I update really quickly?  Even though your questions probably won't get answered in the next chappie either. (Oops...I wasn't supposed to say that out loud!!!)

    This is getting interesting! I wonder what's in the box...

    Author's Response: Oh thank you. I can tell you one thing, there are definitely some surprises in store for whomever manages to open that box!

    hmmm, I'm starting to wonder if Ron's going to have a hard time with Harry's growing relationship with Snape. Interesting. But, I wonder MORE about the box and the will!!! Can't wait to find out! Great job, Pandora. :)

    Author's Response:

    Well, if he has a problem with it now, he's NOT going to be pleased later!! 

     Thanks Kodak, I'll try to update soon.  Still anxiously waiting for one from YOU!!! Please?

    This is a good read. I'm glad i found it. I think the pacing is done well, though sometimes I want to get to the part where they like each other, it's just not realistic, is it?

    Author's Response:

    Thanks. Don't worry, they won't hate each other forever, and they really are starting to soften up to each other. Snape is a hard nut to crack. It'll get there....I promise. I can't have them falling into each other's arms too fast though, it just wouldn't be Snape-like!! LOL! I hope that you'll keep reading though, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Really enjoying this. I like that Harry has someone to be strict with him, but in a positive, not mean, way, and you also seem to be capturing the feel of the original books while weaving your storyline in perfectly.

    Author's Response: Oh thank you. snape will get less mean as time goes on, but I think that he's doing a pretty good job of it, he's still strict, but not quite as cruel as he can be at times. I'm trying hard to combine Canon and my own version together. I'm glad that you think I've accomplished that.

    Me Again...I am not one hundred percent sure when they changed to metric in England, but it was a lot more recently than us! I think perhaps the late eighties or nineties. I am sure though that even if they were officially metric in the mid nineties, many people, especially people who were already adults when the change happened, would still refer to things like weight in the old 'language'. Personally, I still like to know what a baby weighs in pounds and ounces (there are 16 ounces in a pound)rather than kilograms and grams. So I always convert to lbs and oz. There are 100 grams in a kilogram and there are 500gms in a pound (approx). Lots of elderly people here still like to know their own weight in stones and pounds.

    So, to answer the question...Severus, I am sure, would have talked about gaining a couple of pounds rather than a kilo.

    Hope this helps.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks. You are a big help. I will go change it, if I can remember where I wrote that reference. Tried to look yesterday, and I guess that I was too tired from work and couldn't find it to change it from stones to pounds.

     

    How's the progress on the next chappie of SD over at FFnet?  Can't wait to read it!

    *Imagines Harry writing the lines about whining* Hilarious! You manage to add just enough humor throughout this story that it makes me grin like an idiot! Hmm, his appearance is shifting...Interesting, interesting...especially with Snape somewhat wishing that Harry was his son...And Hermione noticed. Something's up...Laughed at Snape saying in no uncertain terms what to do with Potter's money! Oh, he let it slip out to Ron and Hermione. Poor Harry! Ooh, very nice how Harry learns about Sirius a little here rather than in Hogsmeade. Nice twist of events there. I'm very much enjoying this story!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for your lovely reviews, and I promise when I'm not so zonked from working all day, I'll leaving longer ones for you.

     

    Oh thanks. I always like to try to insert a little humour, so that (hopefully) my story is not too depressing, especially when you are dealing with a serious subject matter like child abuse. I want the story to be serious, but not so heavy that it's hard to read.

     

    I think that Severus' wish that Harry were HIS son, not James', took him my surprise. He really doesnt' want to feel that way. He'd give anything to go back and change the hands of time, but he's seeing Harry in a different light these days, and he's starting to think more of Liily everytime he sees Harry, and it confuses him that all these feelings are coming out.

     

    LOL, yeah, can you just picture him telling James to stuff his money, where the sun don't shine!

    I don't think that Harry meant to tell Ron and Hermione abou the abuse, but perhaps his subconcious was a better judge of the fact that he needed to confide in his friends and that the support from his friends will help him heal.

     

    Acitually, in the book Harry learns about Sirius in the parlour at the Leaky Cauldron. I've taken bits from the movie, in this story and bits from the book. This scene actuallly has some direct quotes from the book about the conversation between Molly and Arthur arguing about whether to tell Harry, but I've added some dialogue of my own to include Severus in the scene to make it look as though he was there in the original scene. I'm hoping that it worked.

     

    Thanks so much, and I'm so enjoying Sacrifices as well. It's so well written, and I always love a younger Harry, or should I say "Tevin".

    OOh, I thought Harry was going to get caught outside of his room for sure! Did Harry just dream that Snape was a vampire!? Aww...THat makes me scared but amused all at once. Haha! How paternal! "Do your homework!" I love it! I laughed out loud at this sentence: "So, that was how Harry found himself with his face smushed up against the large man's broad chest, in a one-armed hug by the kind-hearted giant, the first day that Harry was allowed to resume normal activity." The image in my brain was like a cartoon and so funny! Snape would make this rigid every-minute-planned-out type of schedule. He so would. Dragupines sound AWESOME! Wow, his first day outside and the black dog gets closer and closer. Things are getting very intense and mysterious...LOVING IT! I can't believe he called him a git out loud, and where he could hear him! Wow! Bad Harry! Bad! Ooh, very interested in that last bit there.

    Author's Response:

    Harry escaped by the seat of his pants, didn't he? LOL!  Yeah, Harry was experiencing his fears about Snape and that the man would abuse himn, just like his uncle had, and it manifested itself in Harry's dreams. It's just really all Harry projecting his fears into his nightmares.  Yeah, let's not let Snape know that he is being paternal!

     

    I always loved the idea of Harry, with his face pressed up into Hagrid's broad chest. Hagrid is such a softy and cares very much about Harry.

     

    Yeah, Sirius, or "Padfoot" is one smart Canine!  Snape is going to make sure that Harry stays out of trouble and Snape's way of doing that, is by keeping  him occupied.

     

    I don't know why, but the image of a part dragon, and part porcupine just popped into my head. It is something like Hagrid would own, isn't it?  He would think that something so dangerous is cute, wouldn't he?

     

    Harry has no sense of preservation, does he? He should remember that Snape has the hearing of a bat, as well as looking like one.. Yeah naughty Harry.
