    Ooh I cant wait to see how Harry is going to react to the fact that he has a godfather. Or how he and Severus are going to decide what to do about the poison. I really liked how you had everyone (almost everyone) share their little cooking stories:) Great job!!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review; yu, there's a whole can of worms open. Like Terry Pratchett, I think that many stories forget that people don't spend all of their time wafting on a cloud of angst; to live we must eat and, therefore, cooking must turn up sooner or later. Besides, Snape, as Potions Master must be a good cook lol!

    It is a good idea to bind Hissy with Harry. For several reasons, it will lend protection to both Harry and Hissy, it will keep Voldemort from attempting to do so, and it will provide Hissy and Harry with lifetime companionship (well at least for as long as Harry lives). Add into that the immunity to basilisk venom factor and really it makes good sense to do this. I do understand Severus' hesitation, though; he is thinking as a parent who wants to keep his child safe from all harm, as under normal circumstances, drinking poison would be considered quite dangerous.

    Sounds like Harry is about to get a puppy. I'm not at all surprised that Harry chose the runt of the litter. His empathy is one reason, as he would never wish any creature to feel unwanted. Another is that a less boisterous puppy, which on the shy side, is more suited to his personality.

    I hope that Severus listened carefully to what Lucius told him. Harry loves his father and would never choose Sirius over him. Besides, Sirius will hardly be ready psychologically to care for a child after spending years in Azkaban. It will take time for him to heal from the cruel atmosphere that he has only just left.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review. Yes, there are a myriad of good reasons for doing this (including one which I'm keeping to myself for the moment ;) but Severus will always worry over Harry: Severus is a pessamist and, therefore, will be on tenterhooks every time Harry does anything even remotely risky. The shy, gentle puppy is a much less worrying option lol!

    Lucius's advice is good but, naturally, Severus will continue to fear: like Harry, he needs his worth proved to him and it will take time for these worries to fade. (Sirius, of course, is in no fit state to care for himself, let alone Harry.)

    So much for Severus to worry about, but maybe Harry will reassure him - especially if he gets ownership of the runt of the litter.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review: Harry, of course, loves Severus very much so he is definately not going to abandon his new father but, unfortunately, Severus is rather paranoid.

    "The Headmaster was not comforted by the bird response: which was to turn his back and contemptuously relieve himself. "

    LMAO... that's the best line EVER!

    Bloody brilliant! :)

    Author's Response: Lol! Yup, Salazar is pretty persuasive; introduce Hissy to Harry or wait till he finds the basilisk himself. Poor Severus.

    *giggles softly* Sev's reaction was priceless. Great chapter, btw. Kudos on a job well done.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I think Salazar, while very useful in some respects, causes Severus a fair amount of worry in others (particularly the basilisk issue lol!) He's like one of those Grandfathers who sneakily manipulate their children into allowing their grandchildren to do many interesting, exciting but not absolutely safe things.

    Uh oh....only a Parselmouth..xD! You know what that means. Harry is the only one who can open the Chamber (other than ol' Snakeface himself). It sure is interesting that the RoR is the portal to so many places; I wonder if Harry will accidentally (or not so) open the Chamber?

    I can just imagine how hard it is for the children to remain still for what probably seems like lifetimes to them. Children are rarely good at sitting still at all...let alone for long stretches of time.

    Great chapter!

    By the way...I loved the Goldilocks comment. I wonder how Lucius would react to being called that to his face?

    Author's Response:

    Thanks ^^ I thought that, as the entrance to the RoR is shown to be able to open anywhere in the castle, DH, it might have been that way for a reason; as Slytherin obviously had a talent for magical architecture, maybe the Basilisk didn't travel in the pipes, maybe it had it's own little portal to wherever it needed to be. Of course, this has obvious problems for Severus lol! (I don't know whether Lucius would be flattered or outraged at Salazar's nickname; it's something to be distinguished by such a wizard as Slytherin but...)

    Again another good chapter. The Slyth gang is just too cute.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you like my portrayal of them :)
