    great conversation between the three! loved it!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks ^^ I really enjoyed wri ting that conversation; I drew upon an observation by JK Rowling that Dumbledore did not know about the room of requirement. In the canon, Dumbledore is often almost omniscient and I thought it would be fun to depict him as being not 'in the know' for once.

    O.K. give me a moment to get my breath back! Whew! that was an excellent chapter! So Harry's scar is gone, the horux he carried is gone and he's Bound to Hissy and Severus is wondering if he's ever going to get his heart out of his throat. Dumbledore is shocked that Hissy can go anywhere in the castle and Poppy is the epitome of a Healer. I loved the second thing she'd learned in training. A most excellent chapter! Bravissimi!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm really glad you liked the chapter; rather fraught after a period of calm but that's how life goes ^^.  Severus is going to be feeling somewhat overwhelmed for a while, as is Harry. As the sister of an incredibly accident prone brother, I've learnt Poppy's principles by heart: get on with patching him up, then ask what he thought he was doing lol!

    And thus Harry is no long a horcrux! (You know, Harry almost died in 2nd year when the dying basilisk's fang pierced him. I have to wonder why that didn't destroy the horcrux, seeing as basilisk venom is one of the few ways to do so. xD...) I'm just glad that Harry is going to be okay and that one of the burdens he was carrying is now gone (It will make his life so much better than it was in Canon). I am guessing that when Severus' eyes met Hissy's that she gave him the ability to be a Parselmouth? It will be a useful ability if it is permanent. I am glad that Severus defended Hissy and revealed that there was possibly another horcrux. I wonder if they will figure out that there are even more?

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review; In the canon, Harry *almost* dies of basilisk venom- and *almost* is the operative word: Fawkes' tears vanquish the posion, so both Harry and the Horcrux survive. However, here, Harry is totally immune to the poison but the horcrux is not, meaning that no antidote is given and the horcrux dies completely.

    Oh, great developments in these chapters! I really like how you've incorporated Hissy and the Chamber, but made them likable, and how the basilisk venom freed Harry from the horcrux. I hope he'll recover completely...it was still a very traumatic experience.

    Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it. This subplot's going to have a few more developments, so I hope you'll like them too ^^

    Awesome! What a fantastic way of destroying Harry's horcrux! I have read quite a few fanfics here, but this is really great! And I loved that the basilisk is not portrayed as an evil thing, but a gentle and majestic creature. Great job! I will look forward to the updates!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm so glad you're enjoying this fic- it's been rather experimental lol! I'm glad you like my portrayal of the basilisk ^^

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review; I'm sure he'll pop up once or twice more ;)

    Isn't that the truth;) I love that ending line. I also really liked the horcrux coming out of Harry now, I had no idea that was coming but i feel like I should have. Anyway, Severus speaking parseltongue!? What a strange turn of events;) I cant wait to see what else might surprise me with this fic, great job!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks ^^ It's one of those twists which are only obvious in hindsight lol: the sort where, once you've thought of/read them, you think 'why didn't I consider that before' :) The idea came to me out of the blue around a month ago, when I was considering a binding ceremony. Severus speaks Parseltongue, by the way, because the basilisk did the equivalent of downloading a 'Parseltongue to English' dictionary into his mind lol!

    Oh, eeek. I'm so glad Harry is ok and the horcrux is out of his scar. Can't wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review: basilisk venom is useful stuff, huh?

    I hope Albus will listen soon or at least do some searching of his own. Thanks for the update!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^ In the canon, Albus suspected there was more than one because the diary was intended to be a weapon, which was rather reckless of LV if he only had one. However, this time, there is one horcrux and Albus probably wishes to believe that Voldemort intended to make his one and only horcrux with Harry's death. It might be up to Severus
