I love Harry's positivity here, and how there's some diversity in the staff. The thought you put into the setting of the school and how it's different from Hogwarts is appreciated too. I can't wait for Harry to change everyone's perception of him! I also like the foreshadowing of a friendship with Draco.
My goodness, some teachers need to grow up and start treating all their students equally! Loving it so far, nice plot, very interesting and I love the mental images you create--and the time you spent making those visual images! :D
poor lonely Harry I know the feeling
Poor Harry. He is going to stress himself to the max, and why not? Because no one is treating him all that well. :(
Great chapter though!

I am loving this story! Very original and wonderfully detailed!! I've seen tiny shack/cabins like the ones you describe/show - close to the shore at a beach in Maine, USA. They rent them out during the summer - just big enough for a small bed.
Oh, my gosh. I am loving this so much. This is so cool and different. At first, I wasn't too thrilled at poor Harry being poor, but it really adds a different element that I'm liking, too. How nice of Draco to give Harry some stuff. That was really cool.
That teacher, however, doesn't know how to teach drawing. XD You don't hand paper to a kid and say, "Here, draw." Just doesn't teach anything. Having taught drawing myself to a small class of 5 students that ranged from 8 to 16 year olds, the thing about teaching drawing is having success. If you're trying to teach how to draw faces, you start with the basics and teach them how to draw the eyes first - step by antagonizing step. (And of course, they all go at different paces) LOL
However, when I was a child, I attended a drawing class and that teacher didn't teach very much.
So, maybe I'm the only one to teach like that. XD But after teaching for a few years, I found it was the way to go.
Anyhoo, I'm loving the story. What would I like to see? Hmmm, I'd love for Snape to see the bruises on Harry's back. I'd also think there should be a cabin check for cleanliness and Snape discovering that Harry doesn't have the essentials for sleeping. Like, him being all eager to find something wrong with Harry's cabin, only to find it in perfect order and missing things. And, of course, I'd love for him not to be his perfectly nasty self when he sees all this. LOLOLOL.
Author's Response: That was just the first day of class and he wasn't teaching them anything yet. It was just so they could see a comparision at the end of school, of what they used to draw like compared to after they learned everything. I took a drawing course in college and we did that. On the first day we drew a self portrait, and then on the last day we did a self portrait and compared side by side and boy what a difference! I was glad they had us do that :)
When I read about the gifted notebook I was worried Harry was going to be accused of stealing them! But maybe Draco has a redeeming quality? :>) Enjoying the pics you have included by the way! Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: read ch 4 :)
great story so far. i think that snape needs to get off his high horse. :)
I think Harry's classes are very interesting. And they way he's being treated sucks. Snape is always after poor Harry. Imagine if he actually had veto power or something....brrrr scary.
I would like to see.....Snape eat his words.
