    Ready for the chaos!!! I wonder what Remus told Hermione

    Author's Response: 5 chapters until chaos completely breaks loose. And Remus told Hermione "no." That was it. But the implications....... Argh! *cackles maniacally*

    First off I really like Shannon-- when she said what the he'll is going on at hogwarts I felt it in my soul! Lol 😆 and second, I know remus said "no" and that he wouldn't elaborate but was he saying no as in "no you guys aren't wrong"? Cause that would be a total violation of both snape and Elias trust. I mean I get they're his friends but is their comfort in knowing where harry is really worth his life? Cause if anybody finds our harry is Elias, there's like a 90% chance he'll die. Voldemort will be all to happy to do it with his vulnerable he is. Dumbledore would do anything to have control over harry again. I just don't think sating Hermione's should be on par with saving Elias life. Other notes, though, remus in a muggle library is so amusing. I keep trying to figure out this project for myself too but I just come up with "muggles and wizards all have electricity as a source but for wizards they can manipulate it as magic. Muggled manipulate it in other ways" but but I have to wonder why. I mean why fo they manipulate it differently? What makes them intrinsically different? And couldn't muggles really just be squib? Does anyone test them for a magical core or something? I mean how do they know there's no such thing as a completely non-magical person? Then snape killed me when he shot down the possibility of lily being from a squib line-- wouldve been much easier to handle than the poor the poor being a horcrux. Also, does Elias have hazel eyes now? Or was that another patient in the ward who'd been eavesdropping? If it's Elias, I hope he was in a lucid state or else he not going to take that well at all. So totally awesome a chapter

    Author's Response:

    I love writing Shannon. She's such a fun character and just does not give a shit. She will say it like it is and call you on your bullshit! And oh man has there been some bull at Hogwarts over these past few years!

    The Remus/Hermione conversation gets wrapped up in the next chapter, no worries. Or worries. Whatever you choose.

    Remus in the library will be a bit of a recurring thing here for a bit. Including a bit of Remus vs. an early 90's computer. That was fun to write. As for the project, all will be revealed in time. *mystery jazz hands*

    I imagined Snape having looked up Lily's heritage or used a potion or something back when they were in school and he was hearing all of the 'good' things about purebloods and the 'bad' things about muggleborns. It's very easy to vilify a group of people but say "oh but this one person is fine" and I can definitely see Snape trying his hardest to prove his best friend wasn't what the Slytherins were calling her.

    Yeah, it was Elias. His eyes darkened up a bit when the potion failed. And as it was lunch time, it puts him in prime 'lucid' territory. But lucid or not, I don't think he'd take finding out he has a fragment of Voldemort's soul in him well.

    Glad you enjoyed! Next chapter is up!

    I'm so 😟 worried! Missing the flugurs put him in mungos in the first place. Now with a lower dosage, will it even be effective enough to help him? Glad the nurse didn't pay it any mind when he said he is harry potter but Dumbledore had eyes and ears everywhere so I'm also worried that that'll be passed along even if it's just someone saying it as a funny work story. Also worried cause why do doctors always want to affect people's mood like geez-- just ranting lol I understand why they want to go this route-- but he's a teenager and he's already going through hell. Was not surprised but very happy remus wants to continue the project(honestly I'm almost just as invested!)

    Author's Response:

    Hahahah, you should be worried. You should be very worried. We're playing a very delicate balancing act here.

    As a nurse, I've had patients tell me they are any number of things. My all time favorite was a guy telling me that he was Jesus on Easter Sunday. I wished him Happy Easter (I couldn't resist) and he just snapped "PAGAN HOLIDAY" at me. It was all I could do to not just keel over from laughing so hard. This same guy also claimed to be Nostradamus and that he was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. In short, I wouldn't expect anything to come of it. Confused/demented/schizophrenic patients at St. Mungo's probably routinely claim to be Harry Potter.

    Doctors/Healers effecting peoples moods comes down to two factors 1: is this person a danger to themselves or others and 2: will giving this medication cause more harm than good. In Elias's case, he is routinely trying to do actions which could harm himself or the staff. Biting, hitting, spitting, etc is assault and if other methods of de-escalation have failed (i.e. Healer Tallie keeping him busy with puzzles/coloring pages and sitting in with him to keep him calm) chemical means come next followed by physical restraint. There is a real cascade of techniques being followed here. Once the muscle relaxers are out of his system, there is a much higher chance of him causing damage to himself or others when he gets confused as he is already biting and hitting staff, so the question of will this cause more harm than good definitely comes in here and at this point they don't really know how much Fulgur will be effective in keeping Voldy out. Such a lovely balancing act, yes?

    More Remus in the next chapter! I think you'll like where the project goes. Or I hope so anyways.

    Thank you a wonderful chapter as always. Sirius seems to be the big danger here. He is deteriorating rapidly with the worry and despair over Harry but for him to know the truth would be disastrous for Elias. You have set up a lovely conundrum, if the light side finds out they will blame Severus and try to reclaim Harry which would be dreadful for him and if the dark side find out curtains for Severus and Harry. Can’t wait to find out how you are going to resolve it!

    Author's Response: I can't wait for you to see how it gets resolved too! I'm glad you're enjoying this!

    Author's Response: Oh you sweet summer child. That wasn't sad. And if ever there was an ominous response, that is it. Glad you enjoyed!

    Oh great, now you have mentioned my OTHER great love - deaging stories! I could see deaging helping him though. His brain would have to rewire again as he grew and the potion is now out of his system. There would still be damage, but it would help. Eeks on going down on Fulgar. Can't wait for the next chapter but I have to say just because your chapters are short doesn't meant they aren't PACKED full of information.

    Author's Response:

    I guess the question is: would you like to see the original version of this story? It is so radically different from this one that there is zero chance of spoilers but it actually does contain deaging, hurt/comfort, and a bunch of people trying to keep secrets from one another while stuck in Snape's house for 14 days under lock and key. It's only like 30 pages long right now, but I'd send it to you if you wanted to read it in its VERY MUCH UNFINISHED state.

    Yeah, that was what I was thinking too on the deaging, but then I realized I'd have to adjust the levels of all of the other potions he was on an it would 100% mess up the story, so that was a no go. Coming down on the Fulgur would have been the least of their worries. Also, you've inadvertently put a spoiler in your review but I'm not going to say what it is because it's one of those semantic things I keep warning about.

    Next chapter is up and has more information in it than I care to shake a stick at. I'm glad you're enjoying this!

    Love the chapter as always, gunna look up that story as well!

    Author's Response: Aw, thanks! There were a few other stories which fit as well, but I couldn't find the entire text for them and I didn't feel like doing that extensive of research... Oh well, glad you enjoyed.

    Thank you. Lovely story and fits in so well. I like the way Elias is so fixed on one thing as it is very much what people do when they come round from anaesthetics, at least I did apparently, and I imagine this is a good analogy for a healing sleep. I’m still worried about the other two, Hermione seems to see it as a educational problem but poor Ron is so upset at missing his friend. I hope they don’t blunder into making the situation worse!
    I love the reviews people leave here they are so interesting and the fact that you take time to answer or comment, thank you for that and of course the story.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, the healing sleep was very much inspired by sedation, though without so much of the paralytic effect that most sedation causes. So he could move, just not well or much because of the all the other potions he was on. Don't worry, I have a plan for Hermione and Ron. And a few other people who have been kinda bebopping around in the background for this entire story. One of which comes up in the next chapter and who has a MUCH HIGHER potential for problem causing.

    I love the reviews and I do enjoy responding to them, especially when people are so close to figuring out what's going on! There is one particular thing which we're going to be running into in ... (checks notes) ... four chapters which not one person has mentioned but is literally hanging out there and the urge to point it out and scream "look!!! its a major plot point" is so high but it's such a major spoiler that I can't bring myself to do it! I'm just waiting for someone to find it. In short, the reviews give me purpose.

    I am honestly terrified of how much I'll write if I comment on every single thing I loved about this chapter like I reeeeeally (God I reallllly do) want to. So I'll try and content myself with a quick (1) love the story and the research you put into it (2) so freaking happy he's finally awake (3) I couldve smacked that grandmother over the freaking rainbow for hitting the boy-- her fault he was angry anyway! (4) the actual pronunciation of his name is really cute and I'm definitely sticking to it from now on! (5) he remembered his da! (6) awwww "I sto bweefin" 🥲🤗🥰 I can't breathe for the bloody feels!

    Author's Response:

    1: Thank you! I enjoy doing the research and making sure things mesh well with reality and canon. You don't want to know how many tabs I have open at any given time when writing.

    2: I'm glad he's awake to, but... you'll see in the next chapter.

    3: I know right! Like wtf don't hit kids anyways! Let alone kids with powers!

    4: I've loved that pronunciation for a long time and literally cannot read the name with the English pronunciation anymore. Same with the name Julia; 100% pronounce it Yoo-lee-ah like my German friend says it.

    5 and 6: His brain may be muddled, but I figure let the kid have at least some memory of the major events of his life. For good and for bad.

    Didn't think I'd respond to all of it, eh? Well guess what! I did! Hahahaha. Next chapter is up. Enjoy more feels.

    Not a long review this time, but a review nonetheless. I would say I hate to see you put poor Elias through all this but I am a sucker for hurt/comfort so that would be a lie. LOL Hopefully his confusion will let up more as he wakes up, but I will look forward to the next part as always!

    Author's Response: Oh, I feel that! I'm a huge sucker for hurt/comfort (if you can't tell from my stories). Next part is up and.... well.... don't get your hopes up on the confusion.
