Albus Dumbledore admits he often asks too much, but this time he has decided to ask something altogether different. With the shadows of war encircling them all, it will take incredible wit and strength to see his soldiers through to the end. What he needs, more than anything, is for them to work together - and Albus is nothing if not full of ideas on how to make the impossible happen.

Every year Harry Potter writes a letter to his second son, who is growing up surrounded by friends and family, new and old. Ignores a good chunk of the epilogue, happy and light.

When the Dursleys abandoned Harry in the Hut on the Rock, he never could have foreseen how his dire predicament would lead to the fulfillment of his birthday wish for a different, better life.

Author's Response: Yeah, I had to go with canon Snape in the beginning, and he was fun to write, but there are surprises in store for our fave Potions Master!
Author's Response: Well, at least he's not locked in his cupboard for this one! He actually has roast beef and a crusty roll! And a bit of cake! And dinner candles to WISH on! (That's the most important element of this special day...)
Author's Response: The-Holiday-That-Really-Wasn't, huh?! They certainly managed to get away from it all ... except for the owls, that is! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: *ahem* Did you see "character death" among the Warnings??? Were you FOOLED??? Hee Hee!!! Yes, poor Hagrid had to get shot in order for the Dursleys to leave Harry behind on the Rock. Seriously-- If they'd left as planned, Harry would have returned to Surrey with them! So, in order for the plot to take off, poor Hagrid... But I COULDN'T KILL HIM!!!! NOT HAGRID!!! I don't know how readers actually "experienced" that scene. Since I wrote it, I KNEW Hagrid would survive to be rescued, but I wanted readers to be shocked at Vernon's madness reaching a crisis. Who was it who said, If there's a gun on stage, it has to go off? (Ibsen? Somebody I studied my sophomore year in college...) Well, the shotgun had to go off, and I suppose the readers got a SERIOUS jolt! One person told me she was so worried that Harry might get shot that she'd forgotten about Hagrid! But onward with the PLOT...
Author's Response: Hmmm... I have to say it-- I'd somehow thought SOMEONE would have caught the intended HUMOR in this chapter. But then, that's the main reason I NEVER put "humor" as a genre in the story description-- Stuff I think is funny just falls completely FLAT, huh, autumn??? But thanks for the compliment! ;-D
Author's Response: I just HAD to put that in! ;-D |
