Title: Not Another Plane Ride 17 Jan 2006 6:26 pm

    No one is already checked into a flight when they arrive in the US. At the first stop over you check the passports, collect your luggage and then check in all over again and go through security.... all over again

    Author's Response: They are magical people, going through magical means. The point is that regular rules didn't apply to them if they were with a Magical American agent. I figured that everything was secret and hush hush and they didn't want to leave a paper trail so they did things "specially".
Title: Welcome to British Airlines 17 Jan 2006 6:04 pm

    A few little corrections. They would not say a flight to the US. They would specify the city, like welcome to flight ## to Detroit, or Boston, or Washington DC, not the US.

    Next, at the time this story takes place (remember the books are in the past!) the planes did not yet have personal monitors on the back of seats. There would be one main screen in each section with a few smaller screens above certain seats so Harry wouldn't be able to choose what he was watching, there would be one movie.

    Also, planes ALWAYS ask passengers to put their belts on OVER the blankets so that when people fall asleep and there's turbulence, they can see if someone is wearing their belt and they don't have to wake them to check.

    And you forgot the safety talk that is done on EVERY flight. About the nearest escape route, how to use the belt, what to do in case of an emergency, how the breathing masks and floatation devices work, not to smoke, ...



    Author's Response:

    As to the first part- I know that and I didn't mention it specifically on purpose. This is an imaginary town in the US, and I didn't want to have to research and add in another dimension to the cultural differences because although I know what different parts of the US are like (having lived in different regions) I wanted to focus on the general differences between the two countries and not get bogged down on details. This is supposed to be fun, for both me and the readers.

    As for the time the story took place, even though the Harry Potter world is supposed to be in 1995, there are a lot of differences in the fandom perceptions of when it can take place- a lot of people write the books as taking place in 2005. In any case, I remember little monitors being in planes around 2000, so I figured that if Harry's a 5th year, this story takes place around 2000. If I was a year or two early, I didn't think that it would matter that much that anyone would bother noticing.

    When I was a kid, and I had a blanket, the flight attendants didn't ask me to place it under the blanket, from what I can remember. Maybe since the flight attendant was the one doing it, she should have made sure that it was, or maybe since she was the one responsible for that area she knew that Harry had his safety belt on so it was okay. I don't know. I might change it, but I might not.

    I think the safety flight talk WAS in the chapter. I wouldn't have left that out unless you're talking about the second flight or something, and I didn't want to repeat the whole thing in real time because that would have been boring, so I alluded to it.

    Hmm...I remember reading up through this chapter, I just don't remember when I last reviewed. Bad me. Anyway, while I am puzzled over how the social workers bought that story, I really don't care, that story was far too amusing. In fact, my attention span being what it is, I probably would have just skimmed over a conventional answer. After this, I've also found I don't mind Hoppity anymore (which is saying a lot since I have a deep seated aversion for original characters playing main roles). Her "goat rebellion" and bunny comments were just too funny. Congrats for a chapter well done.


    Author's Response: Thank you. :) The social workers were kind of drugged- I guess I should have hinted about it a little more. hehe XD I'm glad that you like Hoppity a little more now, at least. Thanks for reviewing!

    *wince* That story of theirs was so obviously fake it was painful. Seriously, lol, I had to skim over it. *grin* You'd think they'd go for something simple like Snape was close friends with Harry's birthparents and when they died he had been given custody. If anyone asks for the papers they could have said they were destroyed in a fire or something. Simple. lol, then again, their story was abviously wizarding in origin. *grin* Great chaps!! More Please!! ASAP!

    Author's Response: LOL, I know. I could have gone the normal way but then where the originality? I actually came up with the story with my friend on AIM, and it was a lot funnier there with her than when I actually sat down and wrote it all out. oh well. Thanks for your review!
