| Final Note 6 - June 2018: Although it has already been a long time since I have posted or updated anything, it is time to make it official. I will no longer be writing fanfiction. I haven't come to this decision because I have run out of ideas or inspiration for my current works - to the contrary, I have put a lot of thought and planning into each of them. Even now, the moments and scenes I had planned live happily in my head. The issue becomes the fact that I have limited free time, so I must choose how to spend it. This is why there have so often been extremely long breaks between updates. In turn, this becomes unfair to readers, as I know that they often have limited free time as well and it is very easy to forget the plot of a story that wasn't born within your own head (and sometimes even then!). Now, I know many of you would continue to wait for updates. We lovers of fanfiction are tenacious that way. However, since my free time is limited, I have decided that my focus needs to be on my original works. In that spirit, though a part of me is saddened, I hereby abandon all my current works-in-progress. I will not be updating them again. However, I also open my stories up for adoption, should anyone be interested in continuing them in my stead. (Though, to be clear, I don't honestly think anyone would, but) I ask only that I be credited and that no large portions of my work, incomplete or no, be copied by another (so please link/direct readers back to my work if you continue it). I've had such a great time in this fandom. Thanks to all who've helped keep the magic alive! Warm regards, Dream Painter [Report This]

I do enjoy Sirius having showed up, here. A very nice touch, indeed. And it was fun to read, too. If only the Dursleys' memories weren't so short.
Author's Response: Thanks, thought it was a nice touch. And yeah, if only...

Ah, Harry. You'd think the kid would have noticed his special knack for getting himself into tricky situations, by now. I imagine, however, that Snape's response to his home life will be different than he expects.
Author's Response: He doesn't get himself in tricky situations.. They just find him. It's a talent but not his fault :P
And you imagine correctly, obviously :P

Oh, good. I wasn't entirely convinced that Snape WOULD interfere. I'd hoped he would, but who knows whether he'd have reasons for doing otherwise. I do like how that ended up playing out. Nicely done, indeed.
Author's Response: Of course he would. It was only a question of how far it would go before he did..

I am really, really loving the rapport that is building between Snape and Harry. It makes for delightful reading, indeed! Very nice, very nice.
Author's Response: So am I.. I can only hope I can keep it up..

Another good chapter and more delightful growth in their relationship. I really am enjoying this tale.
Author's Response: Thank you :)

I fear I am beginning to sound redundant by this juncture, but the more I read of Harry and Snape's growing relationship, the more I enjoy it. It really does make for not only and interesting, but an enjoyable read. It was sad to see that Sirius was being his stubborn self, although, it felt true to nature.
In any case, I do look forward to seeing what's next, and hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Aah, only a little.. But it's still nice to hear :D
Sirius might turn around, though I don't think I'll write it in this one; maybe in the sequel (If I ever get to writing it)
Next chapter is halfway done, but I'm a bit stuck.. Hopefully I'll be able to get to it soon :)

A most satisfactory conclusion, though a bit sad. So many people still lost, but I'm glad you elected to keep it that way. Cute story, all around - love that Kreacher was excited about the farm - made for an enjoyable read.

Petunia is such a spiteful thing. It just makes me want to throttle her, sometimes.
I'm very happy to see that Aunt Susan has recovered! And I'm looking forward to seem Snape and little Harry interact.

I'm so glad Harry doesn't have to go back with the Dursleys straight away after the will reading. They're going to be back enough, as it is. Maybe, this way, they'll have had a change to calm a bit first.
Ah, but I'm sad that Aunt Susan is gone. :(

Ack D: I just knew something was gonna go wrong. I hope Susan recovers, and soon. Ah, but I don't think Petunia will be willing to bring Harry around for a visit.
