    This ending I didn't see coming, but after a fall like that, I should have. Great chapter, please post soon. The dursleys need to get their just desserts, they need to suffer for hurting harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm going to try and post asap, I need to work out some issues in the next chapter, but it's pretty much planned out. :-D -Autumn

    I didn't but I really liked it. Thank goodness Severus found Harry! Now I want to know what happens next!

    Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad that you liked it! :-D Yeah, Severus saved the day (and Harry!). I'm planning out the next chapter and then I have to write it, it shouldn't take too long though. :-D Thanks again! :-D -Autumn

    Oh, eeeeeeek!!! Poor little Harry!!! I was afraid it might be something like that, wasn't sure though! Can not wait for the next chapter!!!!!

    (Oh ... Ravenclaw)

    Author's Response: Good job on the guess. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I'm hoping that I can get the next chapter out soonish, no promises on when though. :-D Points to Ravenclaw. -Autumn

    Considering I just donated my blood for Red Cross...Ironic...

    Haha, good chapter. He'd better not be paralyzed.

    Author's Response:

    Hi there and thanks for reading and reviewing. Good job on donating your blood. I want to again soon, but I'm a bit of a "pussycat" as Dr. Hanson put it. I have O blood (sound familar?) and am pressured to donate. The first time I donated, I fainted, the second I felt sooo sick. More on Harry's paralysis in the next chapter. :-D-Autumn

    Yay, you fixed some of the little issues I brought up for you. I noticed some more showing, too. ;)

    Okay, I totally didn't know you were going to hurt Harry this badly. Poor kid. I hope it's not permanent, but I could see how this could progress some of your other storylines that you have lined up.

    Oh, I loved the reasoning behind the Wizarding Blood Bank being out of O blood. Vampires stealing it was a nice touch that reminds us of the magical world the HP universe is set in.

    I'm happy to hear your sister is okay now. It must've been really scary for you and your family. As you go forward in the story, remember to research the medical facts before writing them to make the story that much more believable.

    Good chapter, Autumn. As I said before your writing skills are improving, and when you finish the story I think you'll look back and really see how much progress you're making. :)

    Author's Response:

    Hey there,

     Yeah, I tried to go back and fix the issues, I know I probably missed some but I tried. Thanks for pointing them out to me. Yeah, Harry's injuries will definately progress some of my other storylines for this story. Amongst other ones, remember how I feel about "Dumbly,"? Well that will come into play as well. Thanks about the Wizarding Blood Bank stealing thing. I had to come up with a reason for the bank to be out blood. I also thought it might add a tiny bit of comedic relief, that and the fact that Ron is still frozen.

    Yeah, it was a VERY scary time for my family when Heather broke her neck. She was 16, my other sister, Tonya was 18 and I was 10. I saw Heather being rushed out of the woods but then wasn't allowed to see for days...it sucked for all of us but God prevailed. :-D I didn't mean to do this, but I realized actually a few minutes ago that as Harry's accident happened on 12-24, Heather's had happened on 12-22, rather near each other. Wow. Harry's neck injuries are exactly what happened to Heather (one broken, another twisted around a third vertebra in a 90 degree angle). Besides the opening the airway thing that I orginally wrote, what could I do better in the medical field? I tried to research it, but if you have any ideas, please share. :-D

     Thanks again for betaing and commenting, it really means a lot to me. :-)

    -Autumn

    Glad you updated! Great chapter, though poor, poor Harry. I was really scared for him being injured so badly that he was on the brink of death. There were some very tense moments here.

    I was so happy to see that Severus has changed his mind about Harry, and when Harry asked him why he was being so nice, and he just answered simply that he had been wrong...I thought that was beautiful.

    No, I did not expect the ending, and I certainly do hope that the paralysis is temporary; that it resolves itself or that there will be some medical means to help him.

    I'm so glad that your sister is ok; boy, did she have a close call!

    Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response: Thank you for reading and reviewing. I'm glad that you liked the part about Severus saying "I was wrong." I thought it was short and simple yet conveyed the truth. That was one of my favorite lines to write about this chapter (the other being the Wizarding Blood Bank being out of blood because of vampires stealing it ! hehe). Thank you about my sister, it had been a really close call. Harry's neck injuries were exactly what happened to Heather (one vertebra breaking, another wrapping around a third at a 90 degree angle). Thanks again for reading and hopefully my next chapter will be ready soon. :-D -Autumn

    I did'nt anyway!! Well done, great description of the spinal injury. I'm glad your sis is ok. I thing I want to point out in the CPR scene, if there is a suspected or definite spinal injury you do not do the head tilt to open the airway instead you preform a jaw trust, you place your fingers behind the jaw hinge and push the jaw out, this opens the mouth flattens the tongue and opens the airway. Keep up the great work and post soon.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for reviewing. Yeah, I thought that it was strange, but I couldn't find anything on cpr on neck injury patients hense I put him in a magic-bind that would cause him not to get injuried again. I highly value your input thank you! Thanks for telling me. Thanks for the lovely review and for reading it. :-D -Autumn

    Well as soon as the neck was twisted I thought the worst but I'm a half empty person not half full!
    Great chapter and please update soon if you can

    Author's Response: Thank you for reading and reviewing! For the neck injury, I pretty copied what happened to Heather (how one broke and another twisted around a third one at a ninety-degree angle). Thank you again and I hope to update soon. I have the general idea what is going to happen in the next chapter. :-) Thanks again!

    I am taking a guess that your greatest fear is escalators.

    It can't be bad reviews because this story is great!

    Hopefully points for Ravenclaw!

    Author's Response: Thank you! Points to Ravenclaw for getting the question correct! :-D Great job!
