    Your story is so good. Such imagination. I think #3 would be best. Harry would not understand #1 and #2 sens to easy as we know how Sirius escapes. Operation Potter search and the teohouses cooperating was so clever. Miss Kitty too.

    Snapegirl, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's re-hospitalization. Positive thoughts and prayers are headed your way to her benefit and yours.

    I really enjoyed this chapter, finding it exciting and satisfying--even the cliffhanger ending! As always, your characters feel so real, and I always feel that I have a stake in the outcome of their lives within your tales. Thanks again for bringing Skullduggery home just in time to save the day!

    In regards to McKinnon's fate... I'm for the trial and the Dementor's Kiss... Mainly because I don't want Sev to be accused of murder and vigilante behavior. Leaving her in Azkaban for life has the same potential problem as happened in canon when the Deatheaters attacked to free their fellows. Yet, taking her up to the castle to await the Aurors could also mean that the revenant that she's sent out could be summoned to rescue her... assuming that it won't take advantage of her situation to free itself from her... Hmmmm. If it frees itself from her, it could be a horrible thing for Hogwarts as it goes to feed itself... I can't see the students being able to protect themselves from it, and Albus, Minerva and Severus can't be everywhere all at once.... Hmmmm. I don't envy you the plot complications no matter which option that you pick for the next chapter!

    I know that I say this every time I review one of your chapters, but it's true and I have to repeat it again: Well done!

    This was exciting! I'm so happy Harry's okay now...or is he? :) I loved the description of Harry going into the between world. It was so vivid:)
    I love that Skull has returned too!

    Please don't make Severus kill Marlene. I hate Marlene in your story, but she's lost her family and is unhinged. Also, I don't really want to see Sev become a murderer.

    My best wishes to your mum, I hope she recovers soon. Thanks for this awesome chappie!

    I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she starts getting better. This chapter was fantastic. I am glad that they finally found Harry. I'm not sure about Marlene... Though Sev probably shouldn't kill her in front of Harry. I'm not sure if it would be a good thing for her to be in a cell next to Sirius either... What if she gets out?! Lol. It really doesn't matter what you do, I know it will be fabulous. Again, great job! I'll also be praying for you and your mom; I hope everything gets better soon.:)

    Loving the story. I do hope Harry will get rescued soon. Is within the next few chapters? One thing I like (or can't stand) about your stories is that when someone is kidnapped or captured, they don't get rescued the next day. The victims have to fend for themselves and come up with clever ideas to stay alive and safe. Oh he suspense!!!!

    Harry is holding up well. Severus and Skull will be furious when he hears of what Marlene has done to their boy. Stay strong, Harry, stay strong!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, it's in the next few chapters.  Thanks so much for saying that! Since I got another review over on ff.net where the person complained that it was taking too long to get Harry rescued and it was boring.  In my opinion, when you have a person get kidnapped or captured by the enemy in a story, it's because you want certain things to happen to the characters which makes them grow or change or develop new abilties, ect . . .You also want to pue challenges in the path of your protaganists, and having Harry kidnapped and rescued within two chapters is pointless.  Then there's no tension, no room for the character to experience anything except maybe a few minutes of fear, and unless the bad guys were planning to execute him, no challenges to overcome.  In real life people go missing for weeks, months, and years. Sometimes you never find them.  Or when you do find them, they're forever changed by the experience . . . or worse, they're dead.

    And while I won't kill off Harry here, I do want him to learn from the experience, and develop certain aspects of his magic and that resilience to bad things happening.  I also want to show that not only Severus, but other students and teachers also care for Harry, and that sometimes, the good guys don't always have all the answers at once, and a good rescue attempt takes time, planning, and patience and it's not always as easy as cast a Locator Charm and here he is! Some kidnappers are stupid like that, but Marlene isn't. And Sev's not Superman, he has limitations too.  So it's not going to be just Severus alone who rescues Harry, but Severus working together with Lena, Irma, Skull . . .ect and even the book and Harry will all play their parts. Harry's not a damsel in distress, he's going to try his hardest to save himself and not just sit there on his bum waiting for Severus to bust through the door and blow away Marlene. And right now he's being very clever and Slytherin like. Sev ought to be proud!

    If you do that Snapegirl, I will hunt, find, and get you. Plus there will be no more treats! (Glares at the evil Marlene) Don't let the evil one tamper with Harry's memories!

    Oh I sincerely hope that Skull can find Harry quickly--so quick that he doesn't have time to master projection--I think that it could take a while-no matter how gifted our boy is!

    Looking forward, as usual, to your next update. Thanks for sharing!

    Author's Response: it could if Harry was studying it all on his own, but the book will help him learn faster.  Thanks for reviewing!

    I live in fear that the crazy lady is going to do something to Harry. Please Skull and Sev save Harry! Maybe Lil can make an appearance. I'm now suspicious of why Lily and James got together.... Is this related to our conversation on ff.net?

    Author's Response: Yes, it sort of is.  Lily was influenced by Marlene to reject Severus.  You mean, you fear Marlene will hurt Harry more than she already has? Like maybe altering his memories too?

    Well done to Harry for learning how to deal with the madwoman so quickly. Hopefully he'll get away from her before she does any real damage,with the help of the book and (yes!)Skull.

    I was glad that Harry was able to hold his tongue with Marlene. If she trusts him, he will be able to get away sooner. I am sure that I won't be the only one that is glad at the return of Skullduggery. Severus is going to be relived to see his familiar again. He will be a big help in Operation Potter Search, too. Thanks for another great chapter.
