the fact that none of the neighbors caught the lie just boggles the mind.
I'm glad that Harry is out of the frying pan, but I fear he is about to enter the fire. Great story so far, though similar to A Boy Called Freak (I believe it was that one) but different enough.
Author's Response: Yes, I suppose it would be rather suspicious, but it works much better for my story if no one notices. :) Hopefully it is not too far-fetched. In the books, the neighbors seem to believe that Harry is a delinquent, this would be saying the same thing but they would not see him over the summers. And as long as no one had a second-story window too close by, Harry's set up should be hidden from sight. Anyways, I'm very glad you like it, even if you need to suspend disbelief slightly! Thank you for reviewing! Keep reading!
Ooo! More, please! :-)
Author's Response: Coming soon! Thanks for reviewing!

Great story. I love the diagram.
Author's Response: Glad you like the story! And I'm glad you like the diagram. I end up making things like that sometimes for my own reference, and I figure others might like it too. Gives a frame of reference that's pretty good I think -- too often, I read other's fics and get confused about dimensions/set-up when it's not very explicitly laid out in the story.

Wonderful!
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing, and for reading!
Wow....well done with Snape
Author's Response: Thank you! *blushes* I'm so glad you thought my portrayal of him was good. I always worry that I change the characters too much, or that they seem unrealistic... So seriously. This just made me so happy.

great update, looking forward to the next chapter
Author's Response: thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you like it! next chapter will be up fairly soon.
Snape did a good job gaining Harry's trust. Of course, I'm sure Harry will be more than glad to leave. Albus will probably be furious. Will the Dursleys pay for their treatment of Harry? Looking forward to finding out. I did wonder why the owls didn't deliver the letter directly to Harry at the doghouse. The Dursleys wouldn't have seen it. I suppose they knew Harry needed help so they didn't deliver the letters. One comment - it never feels right to me when Snape uses the term OK. It just doesn't seem formal enough for Severus.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! Yes, most of what you mention you'll just have to find out about. As for the owls, Harry still lives at the Dursley's house/on their property. I suppose I see your point though, it is an external structure. But I think it makes more sense that way, or at the very least, it works better for my story. :-P And I guess I see your point about Snape saying ok as well, hadn't thought too much about that, it just seemed such a natural thing to say to reassure someone. I wonder if he ever uses it in the books? Probably not. Anyways, thanks for reviewing, next chapter will be up fairly soon!

Yes an update:D!! Thank you for beeing so quick! It's fantastic! I am glad Harry isn't totally broken after those two years. Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: So glad you like it! Yes, I decided to make it only two years to make it realistic for Harry to have some definite issues, but not be completely beyond hope, and not completely broken. The story would just be too depressing. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Next chapter will be up fairly soon.
