    Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention. The first thing I noticed about this chapter are the names of your OC characters. They seem be common American names. While the characters themselves seem fascinating, the names threw me off a bit. Out of curiosity, what is your reasoning for this?

    Author's Response:

    Yeah? I'm glad you like the characters themelves, however, in for their names and the reasoning behind their selections: please see the edited end author's notes of chapter 20. Thanks!

    This was a wonderful chapter. I believe that you truly captured all of Harry's emotions- the excitement, the nervousness, the fear. It was fun to read!

    I also like the way you've already started molding these characters and making them seem so three dimensional in such a short time. I'm already very intriguied by Casey. I wonder what his background is. At first I thought he was another Malfoy, classic blonde hair and skepticism for Muggles, but perhaps it is not quite so. And I wonder what Logan's and Conner's problems are! I mean really, talk about a bad first impression. I look forward to getting to know each of these new characters. Haylee seems very sweet and for some reason, I imagine Oscar will be a more comedic character.

    Hey, was the Casey the son of those strange people you once mentioned in a chapter?

    As for the sorting, my personal preference would be towards Slytherin not just because it is Severus's house but also because Harry had to fight for survival for a part of his childhood. I feel that Gryffindor doesn't seem to fit him very well because he's not exactly a loud running head first into a situation type of boy. Anyways, I look forward to reading more about the Sorting.

    Also, is Severus going to be there for Harry's sorting. I thought that since he's going to be a professor there (one can assume), he would show up.

    I'm so glad to hear that the wait won't be too long for the next chapter. I'm looking forward to reading more! :)

    Author's Response:

    Thanks you, I'm glad you thought so :). I'm really pleased Harry's emotions translated well, as I really wanted to show what it was like for him at that moment of time. I loved reading your review, though I always do! Casey isn't another Malfoy, no. Logan and Conner...well, every character I have shown will be explored throughout the story, so you'll learn more about them all as time goes along. Haylee is sweet, though. She's very kind and friendly. Oscar...haha, yeah. As for the son of the mentioned "people", I cannot reveal that yet. Your guess is interesting, though.

    I can't say what house I placed Harry into, as you'll find out soon, though back when I wrote the next chapter I spent a while reasoning it out to make sure it fit the story and his upbringing. Your facts were part of the consideration, so kudos for that. I think you'll enjoy the sorting ceremony - I did try to make the event itself more unique to this story, including a sorting song of my creation that will be part of the overall story plots.

    Severus is not a professor in this story, which will be detailed on in the next chapter. Therefore, due to this and other factors, he will not be there to watch Harry be sorted. Neither will Erin. I also wanted Harry to go through it on his own, without his parents for the first time in a long time. Thank you very much for your review, it provided me insight and entertainment. I will be updating again when I can, likely a couple days from now. I'm thrilled you're looking forward to reading more. Thanks, again!

    Lovely to see an update, not sure about all the OC's but that may be just that im not really into OC's, though im used to Jack and Erin now, also did I miss something about Harry losing a year somewhere or are the Weasleys older and thats why Ginny is in Harrys year group? :)

    Author's Response: Thanks. Hopefully with time you'll come to like the OCs, or at least be used to them. I personally find them rather interesting, but than again I know them very well and I created them, hehe. I do believe it was mentioned that Harry's year was different than canon, however for more information regarding that please see the edited end author's notes of chapter 20. Thanks for the review!

    That is a lot of new characters! I agree with honourary_weasley about the names. They really throw me out of the story. Perhaps you could have checked what names were popular around the time Harry and his classmates were born?

    Author's Response: Yeah, it is haha. The names I picked for the characters were not simply random. Please see the edited end author's notes of chapter 20 for more information. Thanks for the review.

    That chapter was so mysterious, I really want to find out what's up with Casey! Also I'm a bit confused, are Ron and Hermione not there?
    Caseys a definite slytherin, Haylee will be a Gryffindor I reckon, and Oscar maybe a ravenclaw??

    Author's Response: Yeah. The characters shown will be explored throughout the story. As for Ron and Hermione, they're a year older so they're not in his class in this AU story. See the edited end author's notes of chapter 20 for more information. Your sorting guesses for Casey, Haylee, and Oscar, I found to be very interesting. I can't tell you if you're right/wrong as you'll find out soon enough, but thanks for sharing them! Thank you for the review.

    You've chosen very American names for Harry's new classmates. Also, we know the names of a few students in Ginny's year - Colin Creevey (Gryffindor) Luna Lovegood (Ravenclaw), S. Fawcett (Hufflepuff) and Harper (Slytherin) - and you haven't used any of them.

    Also, I don't remember why Harry is a year younger in your story?

    Author's Response: In answer to your comments about the names, the canon classmates, and the fact Harry is a year younger...please see the edited end author's notes of chapter 20. Also, how do you know I haven't used any of them yet if you've only seen the train journey? I only showed a few of his classmates so far, though most are OC. :) Thanks for the review.

    *snicker* What a nasty place to leave us hanging! Good job! Lovely chapter. I wonder what house Harry will be sorted into?

    Author's Response: Yeah, I know. Haha. Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Harry will certainly be sorted next chapter, so you'll know then ;)

    Gah I can't believe I didn't review for this chapter! I could have sworn that I did. Strange.

    Anyways I loved this chapter! Especially with Harry needing his father at night. Too cute!

    Please please update again soon! I do think you've spoiled us a bit with updating fairly quickly so these past two weeks have been torturous! :) Hope to hear more soon!

    Author's Response: Haha. I love reading your reviews and comments. Thanks, and I realise that lol. I will be updating again asap. Thanks for the review!!
