    I really like this story - its very interesting, and you're doing such a good job of writing Harry. You can't help but feel sorry for him - he's trying so hard to make the best of things but not getting much support from the camp staff. You'd think they might be a little more aware of his difficulties without him having to beg for extra help. Looking forward to more, and seeing if Harry can believe Snape would be willing to help him out.

    Author's Response: thank you for reviewing! I'm so glad you like the story and the way I'm writing Harry. I think 5th and 6th year (but particularly 5th) year Harry is rather angsty/emotional, so I'm trying to capture that along with considering how he would handle this new development. Also, you bring up a good point about the camp staff. I wanted Harry to struggle like this, and I have a couple ideas for why the camp staff is not really involved with him directly (although he is learning plenty of lessons he needs to know - how to learn new magic now, how to speechread, sign language, etc.), but they have not fully coalesced yet. So we'll see! Thanks for reading!

    Author's Response: Yay I'm so glad you like it! Just please don't take things portrayed here as fact -- I'm trying to be accurate, but I'm no expert. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

    It is a very interesting story. I am surprised Harry exploded into Snape's face. I had expected him to ran away into the woods :) I am curious if Finn taunts Harry some more. I'm curious if the Daily Prophet will find out about Harry. I am curious about Malfoy's punishment. I am curious when Snape will realise it wasn't Harrry taking his noteboook but Finn. I guess I am a horribly curious person. Your story is full of possibilities. I like that.
    I hope you will have time to update.

    Author's Response: haha thanks for reviewing! I believe a lot of the things you are curious about will come out in time. Some of them are planned for the sequel (this first story I don't expect to be too long, less than ten chapters but more than five), and some of them may turn out not to be important. We'll both have to see what ends up coming out!

    I agree with the last sentence. How could a man who is punishing a boy for the sins of dead man be compassionate. I am surprised that Harry hasn't hit the depression stage truly yet or will that be coming up?

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing! Harry is definitely not particularly happy right now -- he is grieving Sirius' death but has not really had any time to really do so, he is dealing with a sudden hearing loss, he has just finished off an evil dark wizard who's been after him his whole life... he's got quite a lot he's dealing with. So he's definitely having his moments, as you saw in this chapter. But he is not going to sink into a deep, clinical depression, if that's what you're looking for. Hopefully that's not disappointing.

    Poor Harry. He is really having a rough time adjusting to his hearing loss. I am glad that Snape is being sensitive to Harry's insecurities

    I think that Harry is beginning to be accepted though, with his cabin mates.

    Great job. Can't wait for the next chapter..

    Author's Response: So happy you like it! It is a very big adjustment, as you can see, and he's only had about 3 weeks to get used to it so far, which is really not must time in the grand scheme of things. Snape and Harry have a ways to go yet, but they are definitely starting to get there. And Harry and his cabinmates are definitely starting to get along, I quite enjoy writing some of their interactions. Thanks for reviewing!

    Wonderful, wonderful chapter!!!!!
    I love this story SO much.
    I wonder why sean was looking searchingly at Harry about the boggart. I am loving the development between Harry and his cabin mates.

    Author's Response: Ah I'm so glad you like it so much! Wow, so encouraging!!! Don't read too much into Sean's look, just know that he thought something seemed somewhat strange. There will likely be a bit more on it, but I don't want you to get too excited about some huge thing when it's really fairly small. And I'm glad you like the development between Harry and his cabin mates; I have been trying to develop their relationships and characters adequately but without making that a huge tangent in the story.

    I'm excited to read your next chapter. This one was great! My favorite yet.

    Author's Response: Thank you, I'm so happy to hear you like this chapter so much! Wow, it's your favorite so far! I put a lot of thought into how this chapter would go, and it came out pretty far from how I originally intended, so it's good to hear you like it!!
