Sorry I've been neglecting to review lately; I was without a computer for a few days and I've been pretty busy since. But I am still loving your story. Salazar is a wonderful addition, and Reggie is adorable...almost enough to make me forget my own intense fear and dislike of snakes...just so long as he stays on the computer screen, lol.
I really love the developing relationship between Severus and Harry, and Harry's friendships with his yearmates. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Salazar's one of my favourite characters in this fic; he's the typical naughty old man lol.
Awww, cute, cute, cute! I loved this chapter! Can't wait to see what's next!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I hope you continue to enjoy it: I have a few more surprises in store before Harry's term ends ;)
wonderful. i just love this story
Author's Response: Thank you ^^

I'd be nervous around any but the smallest of snakes. I have heard of pythons/boas biting, though of course not with poison. And even some of the smaller ones, if in the proper position, can squeeze on the neck of it's handler. Now, this would never happen in the Slytherin House, as I'm sure Harry would go to any lengths to prevent a disaster from happening; but, if he wasn't there, it would be fairly dangerous to have all but the ones no larger then the size of a bracelet. This chapter is very well done, I liked the interaction between Draco and his parents. As well as Lucius' other letters. Yes, cleaning charms would go far in this messy world of ours. Kudos on a job well done. (I'll leave snake handling to those with the courage for it.)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. To be honest, every animal bites, whether you have a rabbit, a dog, a horse, they'll always be that risk. I've been bitten by Arrow and, quite truthfully, I've recieved worse wounds off my dwarf rabbit lol! (Admittedly, Arrow wasn't going for me, he was going for my dumb brother who had just darted forward and kissed him rather roughly on the nose. Not unreasonably, Arrow saw this as an attack and I flung my hand out in front of my brother's face.) Additionally, most medium-sized animals can kill humans, particularly pets like dogs and parrots. However, I wouldn't reccommend a snake as a pet for a young child, mainly because I wouldn't trust the kids. However, as the HP universe is strongly magical and the canon Constrictor in 'Philosopher's Stone' is shown to be intelligent, I'm going to have parselmouth-trained snakes as being considered by the magical community as reasonably safe pets for 11 year olds. (It's necessary for the plot lol)

Loved the letters. Looking forward to seeing Harry and Sev at the Malfoys at christmas. OK, please have sev say no to dracos snake. And your right, Lucius spoils Draco, please post soon!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Lucius and Draco are two of my favourite characters to write; they love each other dearly but they're not above a little manipulation lol!

I should be asleep as it is 1 a.m. where I live but I just got back from an S.C.A. event and found your update when I went to check my email. So of course I had to read it. I am literally howling with laughter over this chapter's correspondence. I especially liked Draco's writing his Mum when Dad said "no". Typical of a kid, as were his justifications for getting a cobra. What Blaise did was truly devastatingly Slytherin and I can just imagine the stuff that was going on "behind the scenes" of these letters, both at Hogwarts and at the Malfoy residence. It's a good thing that both Lucius and Narcissa's hair is so fair as their darling son is likely to turn them prematurely grey with demandsfor things like one of the most venomous snakesin the world.
Arrow sounds like a lovely snake. I wish I could meet him (and you!) in person.
Again, bravi, bravi, bravissimi!
Author's Response: Thanks: yes, that's the best thing about letters- they give you a better insight into the characters private-lives as well as a better knowledge of their personality. I think Draco is definately going to send his parents a few shades lighter before the end of this fic lol!

Haha, I loved how Lucius said he and Dracos' mom had grown fond of him over the years! I also really liked how Blaise would tell Draco to get a Black Mamba, and with some of his following Harry's example I think it might give Harry some more confidence, that his friends want to do or have what he is doing, or has. Great update! I cant wait to see how Christmas could play out:)
Author's Response: Christmas should be fun, lol! However, I have lots planned before this term ends ;)

only a spoiled eleven year old . . .
this was quite funny. i've enjoyed all of the malfoy's correspondence, but this is by far the best. very clever. i especially like the letter to blaise. it seemed like lucius wasn't sure if he should be scolding or congratulating!
Author's Response: Yes, I think Lucius has a 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me' mentality and, while feeling sorry for poor, gullable Draco, he definately admire's Blaise's naughty but nice wit ^^

OMG I LAUGHED until I cried!!! My husband did also although our two year old was looking at us as if we had lost our marbles!! I loved the letters and cannot wait until Severus's reply!
Author's Response: Lol! My parrot did the same whilst I was giggling over this chapter: he was like "why are you laughing at those squiggles? Stupid human" ^^ I love writing Lucius and Draco and I'm glad you found it funny too.
