    Hagrid is wonderful here and seems to be exactly what severus needs. Just the right amount of caring, concern and knowledge while not undermining Severus'. Poppy is Poppy but I do think that its a good thing she saw how having Freedom there, and thought of fetching Hedwig for Harry; I've long sinnce wondered why she hasn't thought of having Hedwig there. Or Ron or Hermione seeing as they know how important she is to Harry. I absolutely agree with the calming affects of animals even if you don't know them, even when you're just upset :) Love the writing; keep it up please :)

    Author's Response: Good question and I guess it's because most people don't look at animals a source of healing for people.  It's a shame, because I've worked with therapy dogs and there's nothing quite like petting a dog or holding  a purring cat to make you feel better.  I loved it when my cat curled up on my feet when I was sick and kept them warm, or when my dog used to come and sit next to me and put his head in my lap. But Poppy will remember this and fetch Hedwig should Harry get injured or sick again.  Thanks for reading.

    Lol, I think I'd be creeped out if I woke up in the middle of the night to find a giant and a hawk in my room. You know, I really like Hagrid in this almost fatherly characterization. He's just so accepting of everyone--I do think he'd be the teacher hurting students would gravitate towards.

    As for the hawk, I like how Harry tried to protect Severus from Poppy. It was nice to see such loyalty from the familiar. I'm excited that he'll get to fly soon too, though I'm fairly certain he'll come back after his demonstration in this chapter.

    -P.G.

    Author's Response:

    I've always thought so too, he doesn't really seem to judge people and the only person he really dislikes (and who wouldn't?) is Voldemort. 

    hawks are very loyal to their falconers or their wizards, in this case. 

    Freedom's flight has been posted.

    SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SE--
    A-hem. ::coughs to clear throat:: Where was I...? Oh, yeah--next review. ::grumbles:: Ya got me too excited there! Do you know, I've never reviewed so many chapters of a single story before?

    I like Poppy! I can just imagine how she must have let Dumbledore have it when she informed him of Snape's condition. Heh--I'd bet Fawkes bailed on him and went to hide out with the owls! The gargoyles guarding his office probably scramming along with the bird. ::snicker:: I liked the affirmation of Snape's bonds with Hagrid, Poppy, and Trixie--and Poppy's assessment of Dumbledore.

    I get the feeling that Snape's next summons might be a trigger for Harry to get his memories or/and human form back. ::winces:: That, or if he's flying again, he manages to go
    *with* Snape. ::double wince::

    Author's Response:

    Hmm . . .I take you want a sequel? *burst out laughing*

    Really? Wow! I'm honored. *blushes*

    Uh, yeah, Fawkes knows better than to stay under fire, LOL! And she was plenty angry, so I think she roasted Dumbledore, so to speak. Good for her, since evry so often he eneds the reminder.

    It could be . . .and that would be really bad for both of them. 

    So glad you're enjoying this!

    Freedom is flying now, check it out!

    I like how the bird knows more about his life, like the whole Cedric incident, yet he's so panicked that he really hasn't noticed his memory improving. Anyway, Snape dragging himself across the floor was pretty sad. I hope Hagrid can put him to rights.

    -P.G.

    P.S. Just a small concern really, but you might want to consider rephrasing the following sentence: "He hadn't laughed that way since Lily had died." While I know what you intended, it sounds a bit like Sev laughed when Lily died, instead of before she died, while they were friends. Just a thought :).

    Author's Response:

    You're right, but that's how it goes sometimes.  Harry has always placed the well being of others before himself and so is a little slow to notice all the memories he's been getting back.  That will continue to happen over the course of the story, until he finally remembers everything.  It's a gradual process. 

    Poor Severus, Hagrid and Poppy should be able to help him. 

    Thanks for noticing that, I have now fixed it, I knew there was something I missed. XD

    Phew, I finally got to catch up!

    Poor Sev, he really got banged up this time. Good thing he has some friends to help him, otherwise who knows what might have happened?

    I look forward to when Freedom flies, both he and Sev will be so happy. I'm sure he'd want to return to the potions master, but I do wonder when Harry will recall whom he is?

    Author's Response: He could have died or something.  Yes, they bioth need the release of flying.  Harry will start to regain more and more of his memories after the flight, as you'll see.

Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed) [Report This]
    Lol, very enjoyable! While I'm not sure I can picture Severus saying "bird brain," I did enjoy the part where the hawk gets away with fixing his hair. Good work!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Severus does know Muggle expressions, he just doesn't use them too often in his professor persona.  I loved the part with his hair too!
