For a moment there, I thought the blood curdling scream might have Pettigrew in rat form as he was being devoured by Draco, lol. What a great way to use the prompts in a non-angsty way. I loved it! Thanks for sharing, Bil!
Interesting start! =)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad that you're enjoying it.
It seems that Snape has fallen into the futile task of proving Dumbledore wrong...
Author's Response: Yeah, silly man. :-D
I'm glad to see a wizard concerned about the delicate balance of ecosystems. A conscientious potion master, indeed! XD
Author's Response: He strikes me as the type who would be aware of the dangers. I'm glad you liked it.
Loved this part: “And see images in the clouds, no doubt.” “How did you know?” “It seemed to follow.”
Also, I loved the use of the prompts in this chapter. I never would have seen that line being delivered humorously.
Author's Response: Thanks!! I really liked the idea of using the line is a positive way.
Hm. I can see Snape obsessing over a detail like this. How foolish he would feel if Harry, indeed, had the upper hand in Surrey, after all. Having already suffered the indignity of being proven wrong about the boy's character, I don't know if he could have survived it, lol.
Very well done with this story, CeeCeeMee, and thank you for sharing it with the us for the fest! =D
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for all the great reviews.
What a tragically realistic picture you paint of lives nearly destroyed by war. This is certainly a darker fic than expected, but it is hopeful and inspiring, too. Excellent use of the prompts for a very compelling tale! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Author's Response: I'm really glad you like it. Some authors have said that it is a little sad but as I said in other replies I have my reasons. And maybe more. I think living in the country where I live has made me more aware of the hardships and feeling of being at war. Eventhough violence has just but grazed me I feel deeply for those afected and involved in warfare (I hope this makes sense)
Worried sick about a missing Hedwig, Harry decides to pull one of his more dangerous stunts. Snape has been landed with the job of looking out for the Boy-Who-Lived… but surely he doesn’t know anything about Harry’s missing owl? One-shot.

Oh my! I absolutely adore this story. There is too much for me to point out in such a small space, but Diomedes deserves special attention, as he is quite a character. I love how much he resembles Snape in both appearance and manner, and it is easy to imagine that the two of them might get along well. How very interesting it is that Diomedes found his match in Hedwig. =)
Very good job with this story, and thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you liked Diomedes, and yes, he does resemble Snape in some ways, doesn't he? If Harry were much older (and this not a P&S story :) ), who knows, maybe Hedwig and Diomedes might give their wizards ideas ;)... Thank you so much for reviewing!
Harry has been so terribly damaged by those Dursleys--and not just physically. It's sweet to see Snape take on this role for Harry, and what an adorable note to end the story on! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! =)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! And if you remember, Sev isn't so very old himself either.
I think you've captured Harry's grief well, especially with this line: "And although Harry's world had changed, the world itself hadn't." It is a devastating realization when you've lost a loved one, to find that you are expected to rejoin the world in a reasonable amount of time, even though your heart feels like it will never recover. This moment between Harry and Snape is a very sweet one.
Very good use of your prompts, and thanks so much for sharing this excellent story! =)
