    It was good to see Harry as Harry, though sad that he had to go through pain in order to transform. I really enjoyed this chapter, and like how Snape is starting to adapt into his role as a father.

    Author's Response: I don't see Snape as mushy, but since he already had a parental type role with Erebus (keeping a parrot is very much like living with a 3 year-old who will never ever grow up and who has a penchant for destruction) it made sense in my head for it to extend to Harry once he learned that they were one and the same.

    I... didn't even think about the clothes issue. I just assumed... with Dudley's sizing compared to Harry's... that it wouldn't be an issue. Oh, that could have been bad. Really bad. Because Harry hasn't been neglected and near-starved for the past few years, of course he'd be bigger than he would be at that time in canon. But, it's better that it happened now than, say, when he was 15. At least now that the whole clothing issue that was causing him pain is over with, I'm sure that the transformations from now on will be a lot smoother. And, until Harry gets his own room and things, it might be a good idea for it to be Erebus that sleeps at night... or, really, Erebus to be around unless Severus and Harry are only around those that are trusted in the know.

    Author's Response: It would have been much worse had Dudley not been huge. But in my head a 5 year-old Dudley still has the potential to be smaller than a 9 year-old Harry. And you're right, Harry is not scrawny by any means. He's been well cared for over the last few years with good, nutritious food and plenty of toys and exercise. As for who gets to know...that's a big question isn't it. We'll touch on that in a chapter or two.

    I can see harry using his animagus form to help his friends out. He's a good person like that. a86;😊😀😂😅😆😉😏🙆🙌🙋😸😹👍👌c4;c6;c5;a57;👋👏👐

    Author's Response: It's possible. But first he has to make some friends. While in human form, that is.

    Harry was brave to let them change him. Too bad his clothing caused problems. I wonder if either Severus or Minerva would have had any idea how to fix that problem so that Harry wouldn't have been hurt? It sounds like an issue that would hardly ever come up.

    Author's Response: I don't know if it's known what part of the animagus (if any) is comprised of their clothes. Maybe the clothes just, I dunno, are held in magical stasis or something. Do clothes become fur/feathers? McGonagall had spectacle markings, but would she still if she transformed without her glasses? Anyway, since it isn't addressed in canon, I'm going to treat it as an unknown and say I don't think they could have done anything to fix it.

    Thanks for a great update. The suspense of deciding what's best for Harry/Erebus and then the issue of the tight clothes ... scary but very satisfying.

    Author's Response: I had a few evil moments where I was considering ending it right when he collapsed. But then I figured it had been so long since my last update that a cliffie would have moved us into "cruel and unusual punishment" territory. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Wonderful way that Severus finally put 2 and 2 together.

    Author's Response: I do prefer it when he does the math rather than being hit in the face with the solution. Glad you enjoyed!

    I loved what you did with the chapter, is the mandrake leaf from the canon or your idea?

    Author's Response: It's canon, but Pottermore canon, not original book canon. I didn't realize that until somebody had mentioned it in a review, and then I decided it was a fun fact to have a flustered McGonagall ramble about. Meanwhile, I'm banking on the whole "wild, accidental magic bucks the rules" thing to explain why Harry didn't have to do that.

    Very clever way to find the truth, thank you a lovely chapter

    Author's Response: Thanks! Canon Snape was logical enough to create a logic puzzle, so it seemed right to have him reason it out rather than have it smack him in the face when, say, a Hogwarts letter arrived addressed to Harry was dropped next to Erebus listing his address as in Snape's quarters.

    Lovely chapter especially Erebus' additions to the conversations thank you

    Author's Response: I still smile at the Hufflepuff thing. I don't know why, but it amuses me more than it should to put Dumbledore in the house of the badgers.
