Nice beginning! I liked how Harry got a letter from his mother before all the Hogwarts letters came. That has got to be a sweet connection to her for him.
Too bad Harry couldn't get his school supplies ahead of time like everyone else. That's going to be a problem when he gets to Hogwarts.
I love that Snape is the one to fetch Harry and rescue him. Snape is very gentle with Harry in this one, it's sweet to see. I guess seeing Harry's situation has made it impossible to be mean to Harry. And Harry is sweet too, asking if his cousin can come too. Awww.
I'm glad that Harry got the healing he needed and the rest in the hospital wing.
I really like your characterization of Snape, and Dumbledore is spot on. Well done.
Good start!
This is so good! More please!
Lovely start to the story, thank you for sharing it
The prophecy was set in a physical stone. Crystal is a type of stone, and that stone contained the prophecy.
Author's Response: I didn't mean it literally, more that even though there is a prophecy it doesn't dictate the future. That his future is his to make :)
Great start. Can’t wait for more!
Thanks so much for posting your story! I’m so happy to learn that the rest is already written. I wonder if it was Lily who blew the pages of the book open and, if so, how she did that. It was a nice detail to add Snape’s discomfort with touch. I like how he is retaining his strict outward facade, while being gentle and comforting with Harry. I’m looking forward to the chapters ahead.
