Oh I’m so glad you mentioned that! Thanks!  That’s one of my favourite moments too, I do so love the giddiness of discovering freedom and it’s fun to write too ^^ Oh *gives you hugs and cookies and muffins* thank you so much!  That’s such a hugely flattering, sweet thing to say and I’m kind of overcome by it, thank you!!!  And I’m glad you don’t like Umbridge... there’d be something wrong if you did ^^ and oh don’t delete your expletives... she’s all of them and deserves worse so I wouldn’t worry about offending anyone... we’re all thinking worse ^^ - and Sev will get a chance here or there to have his vengeance for Harry, though it’s unlikely Harry will get his own opportunity to – you never know but he might still be a bit too down to do anything while she’s still around.  Thanks so much!  Points and muffins and cookies, oh my!

Hello again! ^^ yes, I think I may have gone a tad overboard in hindsight (what a wonderful thing it is), but like I said in my story notes, I’m just so fascinated by the blood quill and the things it could be developed to do (one of my more morbid fascinations I guess ^^) – I think it’s really quite amazing what a person can recover from, and Harry will have a fair bit of support, I wouldn’t worry too much ^^.  Thank you!!!  I’m thrilled that you liked that part so much; especially given the fact that you seem to have this knack for saying your favourite moments are the ones I worry most about including ^^  thank you!  Very glad you like some protective Sev too.

And nevermind about the pic, I’m going to try making it smaller and seeing if that works and if not, well, there’s a link there still, at the very least people will still get to see Fab’s gorgeous pic (I giggle madly with happiness whenever I do ^^)

“Get it write” – I like that ^^  Your composition prof sounds great ^^ - and hopefully I can get cleanly written chapters out faster over the next few weeks, though that I have one person reading who understands how time consuming uni can get is comforting ^^ (the wait I’ve put people through really has been ridiculous, no doubt half the people reviewing this fic do so to prompt me to update faster because they know how long it’ll be otherwise ^^) – hehe as much as I wish I was reading Classics and Literature and completing a degree in something to further my writing I would only be doing it because I want to, not to get any particular job or begin a career in it (Liberal Arts sounds interesting though, what do you learn about?), I’m actually not reading anything for my course right now (and a few weeks ago I was reading about iconoclasm in the Renaissance) for my Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication).  It’s really interesting and despite feeling like I have no talent in it I’m getting decent marks... it’s something I feel like I could do for money day in day out you know?  As opposed to writing which I studied last year and found is to spare of the moment for me to want to do for a living.  Now if I won the lottery... ^^

Thanks so much for such lovely (confidence-building) reviews, I hope you continue to like this little fic of mine ^^  and good luck with uni! ^^   

Hello!

Thanks a lot for the review! And thanks a lot for pointing that out! :-) That is indeed what I meant. I just didn't realize that's what that phrase meant. I thought the two were synonymous. But hey! You learn something new every day! ;-P I changed it the moment I read your review. Thanks again and the next chapter should be up within a few days. :-)
