    Great chapter, I like what was shown so far of Sarai. However, if Harry and Draco were so very jealous of each other for Sev's love and attention, at this stage wouldn't they turn that jealousy to her? She could potential be viewed as a much bigger threat, after all Sev is showing her a side he doesn't really show them. He hugs and tells her he love her while he isn't that free with the boys. This if nothing else should hurt them and cause them doubt.

    Author's Response:

    Maybe and maybe not.  They've matured a lot over the summer, and most of their jealousy had its roots in the rivalry that went on during school, plus the fact that each of them never had a real father figure and were scared to lose him to the "enemy" so to speak.  However, Sarai doesn't live with them, is visiting, and while it is awkward at first and confusing, for Harry especially, to think that his father is actually invovled with a lady, the level of jealousy isn't as high.  Yes, Severus did hug her at first, but he hasn't kissed her at all in front of the boys, the first kiss was shared while they were still outside, and they are being discreet, keeping the PDA's down to looks while the kids are present.  Neither of the boys has ever heard Sev tell Sarai he loves her either, though it is implied, they don't say it that often and if they do it's usually in private. 

    However, in the next chapter, Harry will have two separate talks about Sev's relationship, one with his father, and the other with Smidgen, who has her own advice to give, which will help quell some of the anxiousness.  Plus Sarai herself spends a good deal of time with them and helps them smooth over some rough spots with Sev, so they come to regard her as an ally rather than an enemy. 

    It could have been different if she moved in with them, but that doesn't happen, and her relationship with Harry & Draco can grow gradually.

    ::raises hand frantically and shouts, Oh pick me! PICK ME! I have a /question/!::

    What's a chimera?

    Ok, so I was slightly off about the relationship - or was I bang on? I don't remember. ::grins:: I think Severus and Sarai deserve each other. Is there going to be jealousy on Harry and Draco's part? I hope there is. ::grins wickedly::

    I have a feeling that Sarai would get along with Phil and Julie just fine. ::nods then lightbulb flashes:: I wonder how Sarai would react to meeting a vampire in the first place... depending on your vampires, of course. And don't be offended! Your story, I'm just brainstorming outloud 'cause I'm a freak. ::grins::

    Brilliant, very brilliant chapter, my dear. I am eagerly looking forward to more!

    ::waggles fingers::

    Byesies for now.

    - Oh! I saw The Dark Knight three times already. I LOVED it! Go see it NOW! ::winks::

    Author's Response:

    Julie,

     

    A chimera is a monster from Greek mythology, it has three heads, a lion, a goat, and a dragon, and also a snake for a tail all attached to a lion's body with wings.  It's dragon head can breathe fire and the goat  head can breathe poison gas.  Greek mythology had the hero Bellerophon fight the chimera on the back of Pegasus and kill it with magic arrows. 

    My chimeras are similar to those in myth.

    You predicted that Severus and Sarai would be in love, so that was good!  As for the jealousy, just wait and see.  it might not be as bad as you think!  I'm sure Sarai would get along with Phil and Julie or a good vampire, like those in your story.

    I plan on seeing DK very soon! And Mamma Mia too! Are you ready for Breaking Dawn?? It's coming out Saturday!!

    I really like Sarai and am so happy that Sev has someone who he loves and loves him back. She seems so spunky and a real warrior she seems perfect for Sev and he seems so happy smiling etc. I like the stories that she has told so far and look forward to actually going into the Fae kingdom...could see a lot of trouble when the boys meet Prince Balin (he seems to sound like a pompous git) can’t see Harry seeing eye to eye with Balin especially since they are going hunting for chimeras which if I remember my mythology is part snake which should be able to communicate with Harry and even if the animal becomes violent (which I doubt ...I would more guess that Harry would become friends with the animal) Harry has already killed a Basilisk, battled trolls and dragons so a chimera should be no problem LOL.

    Author's Response: Yes Balin is very much an immature young man, he's around twenty-one in human years and just full of himself.  Sarai adores Severus and vice versa, they have a very meaningful relationship, she is one of the few Sev has ever allowed inside his mind and into his heart as well.  As for the hunt, there is an unexpected surprise that occurs, you'll see what happens next chapter.  Lots of dangerous things lurk in the Realm of Faerie.

    Wow! Sarai's quite a character, I like her alot. I think she's perfect for Severus. I also like how the two boys reacted to her and the kin-sa-dor session.

    Author's Response: Thank you! You'll be seeing a lot more of her too.

    Loved it! Sarai's wicked and she reminds me of an Amazon! Loved the way she and Severus sparred. These two were made for each other!

    Author's Response: Yes there are some parallels between a Blade and an Amazon, except Sarai doesn't hate men and Blades are made up of male and female warriors.

    Hi there, first of all I want to say, that I love the story and this chap. The dreamscenes were exciting and brilliantly thought out. The only thing I would have really, really wished for, would have been a longer, cuter scene with Harry and Sev afterwards, altough I loved the one with Draco I longed for Severus coming and comforting his son. But well, one cannot have everything, so I will read the next chap and be happy. I hope you are, too, your Melfis.

    Author's Response: Hi! I figured it was time for Draco and Harry to get some sibling bonding going, which why I had him come to see Harry instead of Severus.  But Severus is very concerned over Harry, and guilt-stricken as well, as you'll see in the next chapter.

    Gotta tell you that you did a great job with the mud fight! I just got back from a family get together, and we had a mud pit "Just in case." The mud did not stay there before or after the tug o war bouts. It always starts so simple...

    Author's Response: Thanks, I try to make the scenarios in my stories as realistic as possible, at least for things like mud fights and all!  It sounds like you had a great time!

    Hunting for chimaeras? That's kinda dangerous isn't it? I dunno about Severus's and Sarai's love thing. I think it will take a few chapters to get used to it.

    Author's Response: Yes, but well, you'll see.  The boys don't actually hunt them.  As for Severus and Sarai, they'll be together for a few more chapters, they actually make a nice couple.
