    LOVE this. Ditto about the basilisk. I always do feel sorry for her. Poor dear. I'm glad you gave her a happier ending.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, I always thought that Harry should have talked to her before going all sword-happy... glad you liked the story!

    Ha! That was a fun read. Though I doubt canon!Snape would have let Harry drag him through Myrtle's bathroom.

    And your ending made me laugh.

    This also makes me wonder what would happen to Quirrell/Voldie when/if he tried to hurt Harry. (sorry just had an image of Cy swallowing dead Quirrell, like a snake would swallow a rat.)

    Also like the bit of Harry not having to go to the Dursleys. (Well, Dumbledore was worried about Harry being safe from Death Eaters. I guess having a large basilisk would act as a bit of a deterrent. Or an invitation to up the ante.)

    Oh, if you feel like writing more of this universe I would read it. Imagine Cy eating Pettigrew, fake!Moody, or resurrected Voldemort.

    And getting rid of the Horcrux would be a bit easier, Harry could just ask Cy to bite them. (Which is probably what Dumbledore is attempting to locate at the end of your fic.)

    Author's Response: Yes, a pet basilisk would definitely come in handy, given Harry's tendency to attract trouble... and I never even thought of the Horcruxes, but Cy could indeed help destroy them! Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it!

    I love this. Especially Severus fainting and hiding behind a column.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, poor Sev, that was when his Slytherin self-preservation instincts kicked in...

    This is brilliant :) And the ending made me laugh very hard. Cute story :)

    Author's Response: Thank you! When Hagrid finds out, he'll probably want one of the hatchlings for himself ;)... a baby basilisk might be even more fun than a baby dragon!

    That's really brilliant and I love the way it's all in dialogue. Kind of reminds me of a Joyce Grenfell monologue, especially with Snape fainting. ;)

    Author's Response: Thank you! I enjoy writing dialogue more than anything else, so this fic was a lot of fun for me. Glad you liked it!

    Oh I love this! Original, witty and beautifully written. The first few scenes, the ones which are just dialogue between Cy and Harry, are probably my favourites; it takes skill to pull that technique off but you've done it beautifully. The backstory is also intreguing but believable and I loved Severus' reaction to Cy (both human characters are very well portrayed, by the way; I could imagine their canon selves acting in a very similar manner ^^)

    Cy is gorgeous; if only she could cross dimentions- I think my 'Mr. Hissy' (from 'When the Boat Comes In') would absolutely adore her!

    Author's Response: Thank you! I started to read "When the Boat Comes In" after reading your review, and I've been enjoying it very much so far! Mr. Hissy and Cy would make a great couple - the first basilisk pairing in HP history :)! Thank you very much for your review!

    The fainting Snape just made my day! XD
    Thanks for writing this, I've been interested about an alternate end for the basilisk, too.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Poor Snape, the ammunition he gave Harry... but then again, the two of them might well be on their way to a less hostile relationship, so Harry might not use it against him. Thanks for reviewing!
