    Great job on Harry facing Vernon - his reactions were really believable.

    Author's Response: Thanks, I try and and make all my situations as real as possible, because I don't like reading something where I'm going, this would never happen or it's ridiculous.

    Yep, I want to meet Sarai. She sounds interesting... and I get the feeling that there's a little more between her and Sev than just a teacher/student relationship. Is it romantic or motherly type? :;puts on fake beard and rubs chin thoughtfully:: Hmm...

    Again, an amazing chapter. I love the little shimmerling! She's adorable and has a personality that's all her own! I enjoy reading her. ::bows before Snapegirl::

    You are a goddess!

    Ok, onto the next chapter.

    ::sidles out the door whistling high-ho, high-ho, it's off to work -- no the next chapter -- we go::

    Author's Response:

    You really are hilarious, Julie! :) And you'll be meeting Sarai in another five or six chapters, I think.  She does have more than just a teacher relationship with Severus now, though a long time ago that wasn't the case.  You'll see when she arrives at the manor, she has a way of showing up unexpectedly and surprising Severus out of his skin. 

    I'm glad you like Smidgen, she's one of my favorite OC's, she's very fun and I enjoy writing her.  She is also wise and helps Harry and Severus a great deal.  Thanks as always for your wonderful reviews, I look forward to reading them!

    Firstly, my dear, brilliatn, brilliant, BRILLIANT chapter. I could not have written something like that because I don't know a thing about fairies and ::nervously raises hand:: I have a question:

    What, exactly, is a shimmerling?

    Oh! Chapter 3 of Breaking Dawn is posted! ::shouts:: Go me!

    Ok, off to read the next few chapters, as I promised.

    Yours,
    Jewels.

    Author's Response:

    It's a creature I invented, a fae cat, three inches high and seven inches long, serves as a messenger to the High Queen of the Seelie Court (the good fairies) has wings and can come in different shades and is telepathic and under a geas to speak only the truth.  The dreamweaver shimmerlings are midnight black, violet eyes, and purple and turquoise wings.  They also possess a limited teleportation ability called blinking.  Shimmelrings can live for centuries, Smidgen is over five centuries. They don't mind interacting with humans, and love children and will willingly help them, for a small price, i.e. food and shelter. 

    yay for your next chapter, I'll read it when I've got time! 

    I used to be a mythology buff, and still am, which is why I enjoy writing fantasy and I have a strange vampire fic going, one of these days I'll have to email you the first few chapters and let you take a look at it, when I finish this fic and some others.

    I know that facing Vernon would have been very difficult for Harry and that is because of all the years of torture and abuse. Actually I would have thought that in a way Vernon would have been more difficult that Voldie and that is because Voldie was always the bad guy Harry has his magic and Harry actually turns into a different more powerful person when facing Voldie...like standing up to him in Book 1 and 2 ...Harry actually never really hesitates when dealing with Voldie...yeah is a great evil – but something in Harry knows he could fight him. But Harry is not like that with Vernon...Vernon is Harry’s own personal monster I don’t think that Harry would have stood up to the real Vernon not like he would have with Voldie. The torture Harry experienced was ingrained into Harry every waking moment... however it is a first step into facing his fear that Harry could confront Vernon but I think he would still need Severus to reassure him of his worth

    Author's Response: You're right and Severus will be there for him when he needs him, though there is one very important thing Harry needs to do before the majority of his fear is vanquished.  And I agree that to Harry Vernon is more of a monster than Voldemort, in some ways, as are all child abusers.

    Great chapter! The sessions were wonderful but hte best part was the ending. "I forgive you too," That was just... I can't coherently explain how readign that made me feel. All I can say is that I'm smiling so wide that my face is going to crack at the same time I want to cry because it is so moving. Bravo! I wish I could give you an 11.

    Author's Response: Wow! Thanks! I'm delighted you found that part so moving, it was my favorite part too.  I figured after all he'd been through, Sev deserved a hug from his son too! And he needed to hear from Harry's own mouth that his son could forgive him for not saving his mother, it really meant more than words could say.

    Great job on this chapter. I really liked your portrayal of James Potter; it made a lot of sense. True, canon says he matured, but he wound up having a kid at around 20 years old, and for someone who is used to being able to charm his way through life (and is fairly arrogant), it makes sense that he'd only want to participate in the 'fun' parts of being a parent.

    Author's Response: Oh good, then I wasn't being overly harsh with my portrayal, because I've always pictured James as being an arrogant spoiled playboy who had a good deal of maturing to do, and somehow I never quite bought the whole idea that he suddenly went from a bored spoiled bully that tormented Severus because he was there to this wonderful hero in what--two years? I figured there had to be some kind of life altering thing that happened to make him change . . .or perhaps he never changed and people simply chose to forget about how he really was and make him into some kind of paragon after he died facing Voldemort.  I know plenty of real people who behave just like James did, though raising a child does tend to mature you if you let it.
