    Thank you very much for your statement on cp. I fully agree with it. Nowadays authors seem to write cp stories for the sake of cp only and because it's kind of hip or something. It's a bit disconcerting how uncritical and careless it is used in these stories. I'm glad it's banned in my country. I've got the notion that it is still much more common in the english speaking world though.

    About your story: It's quite entertaining and I appreciate that you continue with it.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your comments and for your support!

    very much liking your story, glad you kept on with it. very much disagree with you about corporal punishment. i respectfully submit that not agreeing does not imply lack of understanding of the ramifications of the act. i don't have a problem with you not writing it though - it's your story and you should write whatever is in you to write. and you obviously have a great story to write. can't wait for the next chapter.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review, mwc. It's fine to not agree. Not agreeing does not mean that a person doesn't understand the consequence, I just worry about any younger readers who end up reading a lot of corporal punishment stories and start to believe that it's always okay, even when it crosses the line of abuse. I think that some readers will read a cp story, and then create their own without understanding everything, thus teaching others that it is okay even when it is abuse (because it's the younger readers that seem to take it even farther than what they read). I wanted to make sure that they got the other side of the story so that could make up their own minds. Of course, this is all fiction but it's possible to learn mistakeningly from anyone and anything. Studies on the psychology of spanking is a rather new development within the last decade or so. Many people grew up with it, and they don't end up traumatized. It can be seen as a legitimate way to discipline someone in society. However, people should always be on the look out to make sure that the things they do are really okay, and be open minded enough to investigate and be willing to change their minds if that is not the case. Whatever they choose, they will be responsible for it.

    Yeah!!! You're still alive! And an update too. I really like this story, and am quite curious to see how it will play out. Also how long it will take for Harry to do Occlumency.

    I also agree with your author's note about spanking. It seems there's a lot of people writing fanfiction who believe spanking is ok, while I have learned that's it's not (for the reasons you mentioned). Great to see someone agreeing.

    Author's Response:

    Yes, I'm still alive! :) Hooray! I don't think that Harry will fully master Occlumency in this story, but he will be on his way!

    I'm glad that you agree about the spanking issue. I think for a lot of people it ends up being a battle between science and tradition. I worry about any younger readers who end up reading a lot of corporal punishment stories and start to believe that it's always okay, even when it crosses the line of abuse. I wanted to make sure that readers got the other side of the story since it didn't seem like anyone else was taking a stand about it. Whatever individuals choose, they will be responsible for it.

    Thanks for your review and show of support!

    Thanks for the update, and the end notes at the end of the chapter. I appreciate a viewpoint different than the one that seems to prevail that corporal punishment is "cute".

    Author's Response: Thank you a monny nouse for your comments and show of support! I wanted to make sure that people got the other side of the story.

    Thank you for not including spanking. It's so refeshing to find someone who doesn't write a kid fic as a vehicle for spanking. I can't wrap my mind around that. It drives me nuts. I hadn't even realized there was a chapter update before this one so I got two at once. I'm very happy! You did the tantrum very well. Hoppity and Snape were perfectly stern and loving. Very, very well done!

    Author's Response: Thank you Kim! I am glad that you agreed about the tantrum scene and how Snape and Hoppity took care of it. I wasn't sure how to do it at first, but it finally came. Sorry for taking so long to update. Thanks for still reading!

    Oh, I forgot to mention how sweet that was that Snape stroked his hair after Harry was asleep not to see it!! Too cute.

    Also, I had to laugh about the whole "vegetable" thing, because I'm a vegetarian, and my kids make fun of me for eating veggies all the time, and they chant "Can't make friends with salad" to me.

    I just can't seem to sell them on the idea of becoming a veggie though! LOL! Wonder why? Kids and veggies, just don't get along! :)

    Author's Response: Awww, yeah. Kids and veggies don't seem to mix, although Harry was good about eating veggies earlier. I think his age is starting to rub off on him. :) Thanks so much for your review and for still reading! :)

    Awww, what a cute chapter. I have to say I was glad that there was no corporal punishment. I agree with your stance. Its sort of barbaric. Harry's such a sweet little boy and his behaviour was typical of that of a cranky six year old. Continue writing! I honestly had thought you abandoned this story. Its truly one of my faves.

    Author's Response: Don't worry, Mahi. It's not abandoned. I intend to finish it eventually. :) Thank you for your review and your support!

    No, spanking wasn't called for.

    What was needed was the expert advice of Dr. Meany, that mean doctor that tells parents what to do.

    In this case, Dr. Meany would say that poor Harry's behavior was due to lack of rest and rest of vegatables - nothing the parent can do but obey the doctor.

    So the doctor says that the plate should be covered and put in the refrigarator and the poor child should go to bed an hours early for a whole week - until he isn't tired anymore.

    When the child is hungry, the plate is brought out and given to the child - if the child still doesn't eat, then he is still too too tired and must go back to bed.

    This only needs to be done a few times. Dr. Meany helped my a lot with raising a child.

    Love him.

    Author's Response: Aw, I love Mr. Meany! Great advice! Don't worry, I think that Harry will be facing more consequences in the future. I think that Snape is beginning to realize that Harry is a six year old boy now, for all intents and purposes and he will begin to treat him as such. Perhaps I will use some of Mr Meany's tactics. Thanks so much for the review!
