Your writing is marvelous and I hope at some point you feel like writing again. I would love to see your Harry Potter stories finished.

Yay! Harry finally talks!I just now got done reading this fanfiction.It was sad in the beggining but got better as the story progressed.Make that muse work darnit!I really want to know if harry makes it in the world or not.

God you are a wonderful writer! I'm glad you made harry's recovery realistic. It's brilliant! Please UD ASAP!

Oh my god, what an amazing story. I literally teared up at least once in every chapter - generally more in the earlier chapters, but still.. WOW. Harry abuse is so overdone, but you've taken the concept and applied it so skillfully that it's just amazing. You never lost your patience with Harry's character development like many have done before, and the outcome is one beautiful story, which, by the amount of reviews, is something everyone agrees with as well. Now that Harry has his speech back, tentative as it is, will make things interesting for sure.

Cheers,

Oh wonderful Harry finally slowly starts to talk!

Awe I like that Severus told Harry he loves him and means it!

That was very good, glad to see that Severus has Harry's best interests at heart as always here!

Wow that was good for Severus to help bring light to Harry's mind.

You have done well here in discribing how Harry really would act.

Good chapter, I see Harry coming along quite well here, in fact I am not disturbed by his muteness at all. He will talk when he feels comfortable to and not before.

Well speaking is speaking and even in his sleep it is a good sign.

Glad to see Moody be the one to teach the Dursleys a lesson! So glad to see Harry able to react to the outdoors in such a good way!

Very good chapter, and I do like your notes. Now my favorite books of any abused children books are the "A Child Called It" for the reasons you pointed out. Dave is such a good and noble person to forgive as he did in the end. I would not have been so forgiving as I am very revenge minded myself.

This is hard to read but there is hope for Harry, a lot in fact. He was sociolized somewhat normally until seven, as such he will be able to live a somewhat normal life. Will he remember his abuse? Oh of course he will but he can live a normal life. I read a good series the "Child Called It" series and the boy there was horribly treated but turned out to be a loving wonderful man with his own family.

This is so sad but at least Dudley is redeamable, he will hate his so called parents and wish them dead in years to come.
