    I have a feeling that the twins might get the location out of Harry eventually if he isn't really careful. Not, mind you, that I worry too much about what they might do with the information. It might be a good idea for Harry and his friends to become friends with more Gryffindors. The two houses are very similar in many ways and I'm sure that with a little time they could get on famously.

    I'm glad that the children love their new owlets and am sure that they will all treat them well (even Ron). Maybe this will be a way for Ron to get to know Harry and the other Slytherins better. It would do him a great deal of good to learn that Slytherins aren't evil.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks ^^. I agree, Gryffindor and Slytherin are very similar in many respecs. However, I think that, as far as the first years are concerned, Neville and Ron really are the best suited to Harry's gang; the other girls in Gryffindor have never struck me as particularly pleasant, Seamus has a long running feud with Harry and, as Dean is Seamus's best friend, I expect he'll not be too keen on burying the hatchet either. Fred and George are already friendly, so Percy, Lee, Angelina and Katie are possibilites. Oliver Wood is too obsessed with quidditch to wish to hang around Slytherins, I expect ^^.

    I smell a friendship coming on! Well, maybe..Ron never is very predictable;) I really liked how you intorduced the owlets, I thought it was nicle done. Great job!!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Ron, as you say, is unpredictable but, with Molly on the look-out, he's not going to be too unreasonable lol! I'm glad you liked the owlets ^^

    Awe. Harry such a loving boy. I wonder, though, if he'd be so understanding if he knew that Severus was the one to tell Voldemort of the prophecy. Of course, Severus had no way of knowing that Voldemort would kill Harry's parents because of that prophecy.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Harry's capable of great compassion and, as Severus' story is one which invites sympathy, Harry will not think badly of his father. Lucius is going to see to it that Trelawney doesn't even remember who was listening at the door on that fateful night so Harry won't find out about Severus' spying. If he did, however, I think Harry would still understand although, of course, it would be hard on him. This is why Severus is not going to tell him; no good would be achieved by it.

    Interesting take on Severus' initiation into Voldemort's inner circle. It was different, but in a good way ;)
    I'm happy that this strengthened Harry's love for his insecure, intellectual father. He's pretty skilled at comforting Severus.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Harry has had a very good teacher; after being comforted by Severus, he knows all the tricks lol!

    I loved the update! I thought Severus' vulnerability was very well placed in this chapter. It flows really nicely:) I loved when Harry said that Severus 'made it right again; it's great that Harry doesnt hold it against his dad and that they were able to move on so quickly. Great job!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Severus has always struck me as a very vulnerable man; people who are as spiky and reserved as he is are very rarely cold or insensitive, it it generally the complete opposite. In discovering his father's vulnerablity, Harry will respect Severus even more and, as Severus' story invites sympathy, Harry's anger will only be directed towards those who hurt his father.

    It is always a hard moment when the child realizes that the parent is not perfect. It is such a feeling of fear that this person will not always be able to do the right thing or always make the right decision.

    But it is a liberating moment too. Trying to live up to perfection is too difficult and scary.

    When we realize our parents are human with human frailities is when we first start loving as humans and not as just parents.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I quite agree; in the past, Harry hero worshipped Severus, believing him to be perfect. However, now he's able to see that his father is flawed, Harry can grow to love Severus as the brave, strong, clever and good person that he is, whilst knowing that his father's heart is as vulnerable as his own.
