    What a phenomenal story!!

    I too was so anguished for Harry in the fifth book (one of my favorite books, but also the hardest to read)… he was really harassed and I used to think that leaving everything behind would have been his best option.
    So finding this story was incredible!
    Beside your amazingly descriptive style (almost like a poem), the way you painted people reactions to his departure felt genuine and heart-aching (oh poor Hermione)

    I really hope you would continue this

    I’m looking forward to see how harry struggles with no shelter or sustenance … well he be able to find a place to belong?

    How well Severus deal with him once he finds him?

    Really can’t wait for more

    Please consider updating this please!!!

    I would be certainly thrilled to read more!

    Awesome chapter. It feels cold and I think it is supposed to feel this way. I am really curious how this story is going to evolve, so many possibilities. You are a good writer and I really like your writing style; Sometimes it reads a little difficult for me (my native language is not English) because of the way you describe things (hard to explain what I mean) but I enjoy it nonetheless and I hope you will update soon, because I'm so very curious! But I'm afraid this story is dead, because it has been 4 and a half months since it has been update. Can you let me know if you are going to continue this? I really want to know what is going to happen!

    Wow. This is really good and, despite it being slightly different to what I normally prefer to read, I love it. Keep up the good work! :)

    Let's see...the story itself is excellent in terms of writing style and the capability to capture and preserve interest. I especially enjoyed the way that parts are themed, so to speak; for example, the moving segment at the beginning. Two things. One, look into using the semicolon. Secondly, as an author, you must be careful not to act condescending towards your audience. Assume that they are intelligent and are quite capable of comprehending metaphor and allegory; after all, the readers are the ones who decide how well the story will perform. Thank you, and I hope to see this continue with as much resounding success as was evidenced from the rating and reviews in chapter one.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for your review! I'm actually a pretty big fan of semicolons. A couple of years ago, for my birthday, my friend made up a shirt with one jumping out of an explosion like some hero in an action flick, underneath it says: Semicolon! Avenger of Grammar! With this story, I made a decision to not use as many as I usually do because I wanted the writing to feel just a bit awkward and stilted; I wanted the reader to feel uneasy. It was a stylistic decision on my part and I do stand by it. I know that it may not come across to some readers (I'd be one BAD New Critic is I expected everyone to read my stories the same way I do!). I also know that fanfiction isn't literature and in a Literary Criticism class someone may be like, "OH! Not a mistake! Totally on purpose, dude!" But in fic it's hard to see things as such. I do appreciate your thoughts, though; good to see another semicolon lover!

     

    As for being condescending, I really don't see myself that way. I suppose some may think I am (just as some may not, it's really just based on a single person's view.), but believe me, it's not intentional. I just know that there are some people who may not be as nuts as I am over Literary Criticism, so I just attempt to explain what I can. It's more of a 'covering my ass' sort of thing rather than a  'I'm better than you' sort of thing.

     

    Again though, truly, thank you for a thought out review, and though this is anonymous, I hope you do see this and at least understand my reasoning behind my decisions. :)

    Wow! That's about all I can say. I have fallen in love with this story. If you aren't updating Impalpable, due to writing this, I suppose I can live with it. You are hereby uncondemned from the Desk of Shame, and all meal privileges have been restored.

    Author's Response:

    HAHAHAHA!! Thank you for allowing me to eat, Prin! And thank you for reading and reviewing!!
