Title: Chapter 37: Midnight Farewell 11 Jul 2010
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    This was a beautifully done chapter. You have my sympathy and commiseration about the fibro flare. I have it as well, though right now my symptoms are in remission (keeping fingers crossed that I stay that way for a while). I'm sending out prayers for your pain to diminish and your energy to return soon.

    I am looking forward to finding out about Hermione's background and seeing what else you have waiting for us.

    The funeral was beautiful and I was so happy to see that Sirius is Danae's True Love. He deserves to be happy after all those years on the run and in Azkaban.

    Bravo for a woderful story. I ish I could give it a 15.

Title: Chapter 41: Midnight Reunion 03 Aug 2010
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    This was agreat chapter! I think Ron should learn to be an animagus from a teacher, especially as he is still trying to figure out his own choices in regards to religion. Besides then he can tease Harry that he was smart enough to learn to do it the hard way while Harry had to be given his form. :) I'm looking forward tothe next chapter but will be sad to see this story end. It's been a lovely journey.

When Little Means a Lot by watercrystals starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 27]
Voldemort was truly gone because of Severus' intelligence and Harry's luck. Facing the crying child of 15months, Snape doesn't want to entrust him to anyone else. Taking a child into his care so soon after Lily's death and with little to provide for him...it appeared to be a disaster in the making. Seven years later and Dumbledore can no longer stand it and goes to check on the pair. Nothing could prepare him for what he finds.

Habitat for Hagitude by tambrathegreat starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 14]
There came a time in every Hogwarts student’s experience when they were required to serve the community in some capacity. After the war, Harry's time has come, and he has to do the service with Snape breathing down his neck.

    Why do I get the feeling that the Hag Queen is as dangerous as she is beautiful? A most excellent first chapter. I look forward to reading more.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review.  I hope to have the second chapter up this week.

The Boy Who..? by Dream Painter starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 224]
By third year, Harry was starting to think he knew his own identity. Then, the discovery of an old secret threatens to throw his world into turmoil, yet again. Nor is he the only one who finds his life affected...

Who is he, anyway?

Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    I really, really loved this chpter and the mierdim eye was cute as was Harry's reaction to it. I'm so glad that Sev signed the permission slip so Harry could go to Hogsmeade with his friends. I also like the intimation that Severus is arranging for Harry to have a room of his own in his quarters. I'm looking forward to your next chapter and the development of Sev and Harry's relationship. It was nice also to see Hermione using the Time-Turner and to see Crabbe and Goyle silencing Malfoy. Your versions of Vincent and Greg are among the best I've ever read. Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! This chapter was quite fun to write, really. It's good be back to this story!

    Glad you like how Vince and Greg are shaping up. I felt it was about time to give them a little personality, y'know?

    More to come,

    ~D

    A beautiful chapter! I can just see Harry's face as he open's the presents from Severus. And the ending was PERFECT!

    Author's Response: Thanks.

When the Boat Comes In by Morgana starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 618]
Darkness swallowed Severus's childhood and is threatening to engulf Harry's. Will the man recognize himself in the boy before history repeats itself? [Generally short chapters due to (almost) daily updates]

Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Oh this was the best chapter of them all! I love Slytherin's speech andidioms. My heart is full to bursting with the emotion your writing has engendered and I find myself smiling at the mental image of Harry and Slytherin both sleeping in the sunlight. Bravissimi!

    Author's Response: Thank you: it is wonderful to know that you are enjoying this story (And, I must admit, I got rather tearful over this chapter too)

Title: Chapter 21: Interlude 4: I Shall Wear Purple 26 Mar 2010
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    LOL! I LOVE it! Godric "hissy-fit" Gryffindor? Oh, my ribs hurt from laughing at that line. I have no idea how Severus didn't burst out laughing at that! The locket is a lovely gift and using a noisy familiar to disguise Harry and Severus' talking is inspired. Why do I get the idea that the dagger that is in the drawer may be appearing again later on in the story? Perhaps you are drawing me astray with a red herring, but it seems to me that there are certain possible events that could occur where either Harry or Severus could find it useful.

    I think a ball python would make an excellent familiar for Harry. They are one of my favourite snakes; they are friendly and their markings are so pretty. Also they don't get too large for a python. If the snake is a male i think a good name would be Reggie and if a female, Regina (as plays on the Latin name of the species).

    Go Slytherin! Keep on making petunia's life miserable!

    Excellent job and just the kind of thing I needed to read this evening (it's raining and my attempt at making donuts did not turn out well. I think i need a house-elf to give me cooking lessons). Thank you for sharing this tale.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. It's lovely when someone takes the time to write a review and long, detailed ones are very appreciated. Yes, the dagger does reappear in the story but I can say no more than that (for now). I'm glad you approve of my choice of familiar; ball pythons are very sweet.

Title: Chapter 22: A Slither of Snakes 27 Mar 2010
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Oh, I'm absolutely tickled by this chapter! It's been an incredibly long day and I came online looking to read something to smile at before I fell asleep and here your new chapter was!

    I'm also tickled that you used my suggestion for the snake's name. Reggie remids me of Longfellow, the ball python that lived in a tank in our biology classroom when I was in high school. He loved water about as much as it sounds like Reggie does. I hope that Hedwig doesn't stay in too much of a snit.

    I liked the spell to change Harry's voice. It makes sense that if you have a potion to change your appearance there has to be something to change your voice, too.

    This was very fun and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I hope you have a nice weekend. Bravissimi!

    Author's Response: Well, as you probably know by now, Hedwig had a reason for being a bit, well, hormonal: she was about to lay eggs!

Title: Chapter 23: Interlude 5: Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me A Cobra 28 Mar 2010
Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    I should be asleep as it is 1 a.m. where I live but I just got back from an S.C.A. event and found your update when I went to check my email. So of course I had to read it. I am literally howling with laughter over this chapter's correspondence. I especially liked Draco's writing his Mum when Dad said "no". Typical of a kid, as were his justifications for getting a cobra. What Blaise did was truly devastatingly Slytherin and I can just imagine the stuff that was going on "behind the scenes" of these letters, both at Hogwarts and at the Malfoy residence. It's a good thing that both Lucius and Narcissa's hair is so fair as their darling son is likely to turn them prematurely grey with demandsfor things like one of the most venomous snakesin the world.

    Arrow sounds like a lovely snake. I wish I could meet him (and you!) in person.

    Again, bravi, bravi, bravissimi!

    Author's Response: Thanks: yes, that's the best thing about letters- they give you a better insight into the characters private-lives as well as a better knowledge of their personality. I think Draco is definately going to send his parents a few shades lighter before the end of this fic lol!
