    I thought you did a lovely job of knitting them back together. I was most touched by your description of Slytherin House. It was quite compassionate and respectful and those are not two words that can often be used to describe the treatment of Slytherin House. Well done Slytherin!

    Author's Response:

    One of my main foci of this work is Slytherin House and how it's not the den of iniquity made out to be, where a quarter of all Hogwarts students are singled out when they're 11 years old to be The Evil Ones, or The Dark Ones or whatever.  They're just kids, just like in all the other houses, and I wanted to show that, through Harry's experiences. 

    Thank you for reviewing!

Past Featured Story Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 1254]
Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

Reviewer: Librasmile (Signed)
    Wow...brilliant as usual. Thank you for the update - and for Mrs. Cook. This story is a TOTAL joy to read.

    And my condolences for Irene's damage to Vermont. It's simply unbelievable and I appreciate your being able to spend ANY time on this story at all. I hope your state heals soon. I've never gotten to visit Vermont. I just know it's beautiful and I'd love to see it someday.

Title: Chapter 36: Mortal Peril 13 Nov 2011
Reviewer: Librasmile (Signed)
    I really like your writing. I LOVE your story. I'm just wondering why Remus has to be the one to show up. I get the whole Severus-Remus dynamic and its popularity but there's a whole palette of characters to choose from. Why, in such moments in such stories, do writers always resort to Remus?

    Just wondering.

    Author's Response: In this case, Poppy wants to keep it to people who already know about Harry's abuse and why the custody changed (and how).  So, the Weasleys, Minerva, Remus or Dumbeldore.  Dumbldore's busy renewing wards (and Snape is pissed at him right now, anyway). Minerva is quite ill.  She is much older than Severus or Poppy and she was hit that much harder by the Tribua spell. Snape doesn't want to live in Molly's front room, so it must be Remus.

    That would be awesome! Let's have Snape in Molly's clutches at last! I bet she's been dying to put some weight on him * snicker *

Title: Chapter 50: Soul Bond 11 Nov 2012
Reviewer: Librasmile (Signed)
    I've been reading for a while. Can't remember if I've reviewed. I have trouble adding reviews here for some reason.

    GREAT chapter, one of the best so far. I really loved how you handled it. And I thought Bill's involvement was great. The tone was excellent. You balanced the Weasleys' gratitude and apprehension quite nicely.

    Can't wait for your next installment.

Everything To Lose by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 236]
Severus Snape comes across a runaway… the boy-who-lived to be exact, and drags him back to his home where a struggling Harry is surprised to find Luna Lovegood. Severus had agreed to take custody of Luna at the start of the summer, but taking on the boy who lived to be a pain in his arse as well? Harry is finding out quickly that he’s got everything to lose… and everything to gain. In response to the 'multiple challenges', 'this is home', and 'father to two challenges'.

Reviewer: Librasmile (Signed)
    Just saw your note about reviews. You may be over your discouragement by now but I thought I would leave one anyway.

    What a lovely story. Actually it's rather poignant. I know about unhappy childhoods so I find myself getting quite choked up as I read along. That's my excuse for not leaving reviews I guess.

    But you're doing lovely writing. Characterization is wonderful, real and sensitive. Your writing is the best kind - I don't even notice it. I don't see words, I see a STORY.

    Hope this suffices for now.

    Author's Response:

    These are the types of wonderful reviews that keep me going.  I think I've got the bulk of the best reviews I've ever gotten for this story.  That makes me happy to know my writing is getting better.

     

    Have you read any of my other stories?  You may like them as well.

    THAT was a good one! Dumbles got b-slapped by a ghost. Schweet! I'm not a huge fan of Lily but THAT was worth it. Ni-ii-iiccee.
