- I love this story! Especially, I like the way you are keeping everyone in character and the development of the relationship between Severus and Shadow. Unfortunately, I don't know French so I'm going to have to wait until more chapters are translated to find out what happens next. I am looking forward to reading future chapter and this story has been added to my favourites list.
Author's Response: Thank you ! I think my main 'IC' problem is Dumbledore, but ah, the man is hard to keep in character all the time ! He is brilliant yet obviously misses important things, thinks a lot and yes make big mistake... poor Albus, it just won't work his way ;-)

- Happy Birthday, Shadow! As always, I enjoyed this chapter very much, particularly when Sev got all super-protective when they arrived at Grimmauld Place. I look forward to the next chapter very much.
As thanks I'm sending you virtual sweets and Shadow virtual catnip. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot, Shadow says he's happy with the catnip and Snape says he's got a bad breath now- well honestly he already had before ;-)

- Wonderful and beautifully written. I'm definitely not giving up on your story and looking very forward to th upcoming chapters when you get around to posting the English versions. Poor Harry and poor Severus! And I have to say poor Dumbledore. It seems all his errors have come home to roost with what happened to Harry (and Sev as well). It didn't surprise me to find that Severus had multiple injuries. He was running on fear, worry and adrenaline and that would tend to block such things. As always, bravo!
Author's Response:
Thank you ! Yes, I'm quite cruel with my characters indeed !
And yes Severus was injured too. Nothing really important, but still... it will soon become part of a bigger problem ! wait and see ;-)

- What a lovely, long and fascinating chapter. I hope Ron has learned his lesson in keeping his opinions to himself on Harry and Severus' relationship. I think that had Ron had said that if Snape wanted to be a foster Dad to HArry, it would have gone over better than the term "mother hen". Actually, I'm rather proud of Harry in that he only slipped into being Shadow once (and that only when he was absolutely furious)because there was enough stress going floating around that I was actually surprised that he didn't slip into being Shadow the moment he got to the lab at Snape Manor.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapters. Your plot is intriguing and your characterisations are excellent. Bravo!

oh, as for long, not so loud please, Raewhit nearly killed me when she saw the length of chapter 24... I must admit I might have gone a bit overenthusiastic with that one !
Ron has learned his lesson, but he sure won't be the only one to think that way, unfortunately! Harry is getting better at controling himself, but the cat in him can still get the best of him at times, for sure! Dear Shadow... well, let's just say that if I was any of the Gryffindors, I wouldn't try to pick something in Harry's plate, they might well end up with a clawed hand ;-)

- Oh, what a place to leave off! Now I'm not going to be able to get any sleep wondering what is in Draco's letter!
This was a wonderful chapter and if I listed all my favourite bits this review would be way too long. The polaroid photo is among the top faves though. I also really liked it that it was Minerva's scent that got Harry sorted out about be ing able to trust her again.
I must say that I am curious as anything about this Loki character (but I'm sure you'll tell us more in your own good time).
Thanks for sharing this story. It's one of my favourite HP fics.

I hope you managed to sleep, still ;-)

- Well, I picked up that Loki is Remus' son, without any problem. That makes things interesting nad I'm curious to see how things work out in regards to him.
Poor Harry! Green fur and now a bunch of blackmail photos have been taken! I can just see his expression!
Bravo! An excellent chapter (as usual).

Author's Response:
You're smart, very few people understood about Loki ;-)
there will be a lot more confusion about Harry's misunderstanding though! poor Harry indeed ;-)

- Wonderful chapter! I especially loved the very end. Harry definitely should stay away from the alcohol, I think.
I cried about Lily's Room (I can't help thinking about it that way even if she didn't eevr stay there), especially when Harry buried his face in the fabric of her dresses.
Bravo!

Author's Response:
oh, I'm glad that someone actually was sad about this first part, strange enough but the French readers loved this part more and the English readers prefered the funny part!
Thank you ;-)

- I don't think the crystal part was too much. I think it worked well. My favourite bit was when Harry stuck his head out the door and discovered Madam Bones as gong at Saintclair and Hopkins. Excellent chapter!
Author's Response: thank you :-)

- Oh, what a place to end this! I know I should have reviewed each chapter but I couldn't stop hitting the Next button! Excellent story from the characterizations, the descriptions, the plot, the conversations. Bravo!
Author's Response:
I know—the dreaded cliffie. :) Since you were so involved in the story, I guess I'll let you off the hook on individual chapter reviews. ;) Thanks for commenting!
