    Excellent!
    I had speculated (I have quite spirited discussions with myself;-D!) that perhaps 'Jade' was magical, too, but then, as your original story progressed, I became increasingly convinced that Jade had been killed by her step-father and had only hoped that Harry would eventually discover the truth of her 'disappearance'. Was Jade older than Harry and could she already be at Hogwarts? If Jade knew Harry's name, from when they used to 'escape' for awhile and since she would have surely heard of 'Harry Potter' after arriving at Hogwarts, why wouldn't she have made the connection and maybe have alerted...Whoops, I forgot: Complete lack of trust in adults. Ah well!
    Anyway, great oneshot, but I'm a little confused about why you 'couldn't' do a sequel and opted to write these oneshots, instead?
    Also, I'm slightly surprised, that after the technical skill you displayed in your first story, to see quite a few typos and grammar errors in this. Were you in a great hurry or were you forced to type on an unfamiliar medium, like an iphone (I believe the 'i' stands for idiot, myself.)
    Anyway, thanks for sharing more of this story with us!

    Wow; that was a shock and not anything like I'd envisioned! Good, though!
    Gosh I'm not sure where I'd like to see you go with this, but I know I don't want to see Harry holding anything back! I want others to see just how intelligent Harry is, but without 'Mione's know-it-allness. Harry always had great potential, but Rowling chose to hobble him with Ron, but then Rowling chose to handicap 99.9% of her characters, except Fumbledick, the MOB!
    Thanks, again for sharing your gift with us!

Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry -GoF pg 342.

Harry never expected to be adopted—especially not by Snape. Harry hates his new father, and the feeling is mutual. But to the outside world, they have to pretend otherwise, or Harry could end up in very deep trouble. Is anyone that good at acting?

~In memory of one of the greatest actors of our time~

    Yes, please continue as soon as possible and, please try to find a way to 'enlighten' Severus to Harry's actual life in Durskaban?
    Thanks!

    Thank you, thank you: I've been waiting to read a story, with just this viewpoint, ever since I discovered HPff! It's just one of the many, many (ad nauseum) 'off notes' or discrepancies that I thought of after attempting to read the rubbish series!
    Imho, though my opinion is considered to be BLASPHEMY by most. Rowling did, indeed, prove able to drag together EVERY SINGLE PIECE of mythos, fairytale, folklore, fantasy, and CLICHE from every HIGHER CALIBER piece of fiction EVER WRITTEN into HER hodge-podge of stories, but there the compliment and comparison ends!
    If I go to a 5 Star restaurant and order the VERY BEST of everything and eat it all, including dessert and the rarest of vintages and then proceed to turn and VOMIT IT OUT onto a piece of canvas, would you be inclined to pay an extravagant price to own it just because it contains pieces of some very rare and expensive food though regurgitated by a FOOL? Sorry; this is why I READ HPff: Because quite a lot of it is written by writers who actually THINK and have a HEART! Just because her publisher is really good at SELLING Rowling's 'work' and popularizing it to mostly young, inexperienced readers doesn't make them all that GOOD! The REAL WRITERS (LIKE YOU!) are HERE, working in relative obscurity!
    That's one thing I LOVED about the Star Trek fandom: Gene Roddenberry ENCOURAGED writers with ideas for ST FAN FICTION to publish and make money on his creation! They're some of my most treasured books! I only wish that the greedy bastards who control the HP franchise would let Y'ALL make the money y'all deserve and show Rowling what REAL WRITING looks like! Cuz she hasn't a clue!
    Thank you for this great beginning!
    I know you probably won't answer and that I probably won't like what you say, anyway, but there it is: YOU ROCK and Rowling SUCKS!

    A wonderful, original premise and characters with more than ONE dimension; yes, quite delicious.
    Thank you for sharing!

Harry wants what no one has thought to give him. Safety. Security. The ability to rely on someone else. And he's willing to go to any length to find it.

    There--that's what's missing from all of Rowling's works: Humanity and reality! This is how a *real* child would feel; without dismissal, without downplaying, without whitewash!
    Now, please help to dry his tears and mine; please say you're going to relieve his suffering, quickly?
    Thanks, so much!
