I would be so happy if you were to update this wonderful story! :D

I very much enjoyed reading what you've written so far of Derivations. I like stories where another dimension of magic is introduced - in this case, familiar magic, inherited magic and other "older magic" that only Dumbledore seems to still practise in the canon story. And you've also brought up two other ideas about HP which I had been wondering about, that of what Lily Evans was really like, and how intelligent the animals could have been.

For some reason I've always found it strange in stories when Dumbledore is portrayed as showing less confident emotions like confusion, etc. He always seemed to - if not already know - then at least have already guessed at what someone was about to divulge to him, or what someone was really thinking. I've never liked a blatantly manipulative Dumbledore either, but I enjoyed his role in this story as a potential antagonist besides Voldemort. I think it's because in changing his character this way, other authors have unfortunately neglected to show how intelligent he really is, and so they give him flaws that are too easily exploitable. But again, I like Dumbledore in Derivations, especially with his ulterior motives.

So yes, it was a fantastic read! I hope you're still committed to this story, and if so, I wish you luck in adding to it.

Well, this whole story has piqued my interest. I hope you're feeling better and update sometime soon.

Merry Christmas!

this story is so good! i check back every so often to see if it's been updated, but unfortunately it hasn't. =[
if you're too busy, i understand, but PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE, if you have any time at all, PLEASE update this story.
I'm so anxious to see what happens! =]


- sincerely, your fan,

I like the way this is going. It is an interesting and new twist on the plot device. I really hope that you come back to this story some day soon. I know that it's been several years now, but I still hold out hope. Very amusing!

i hope you dont scrap this story i was really getting into it, please update the chapter soon please!

This story is wonderful. I can't wait to see what you will do with it next. I love how you had Lucius as a semi-good guy and Draco as an intelligent human being. I am curious as to what type of 'creature' Harry is and if he will go with his 'family' or not. Please update soon.

Wow, this is an amazing story! It's a "creature fic" but without the insta-love that usually accompanies the genre - I'm impressed! I'm a bit sad that you seem to have abandoned it (seriously, this story is very original and well-written), but if you are still looking for a beta I would be more than happy to help! ^_^

Uh, never mind, ignore my last question.

Is the white thing a wolf of some kind? Or a feline/avian? Ys you can tell, I'm a bit confused on that aspect.

interesting story!

I REALLY like this... hopefully you haven't given up fully. I'd really do ANYTHING to see more of this. Thanks!

Oh wow, really liking your story so far. It's more individualistic than many I've come across, and that always invites me to want to come back and check for updates.
Please, keep up the good work and update soon :)
And if you should find yourself in need of a beta, please email me. I'm very fussy about words, spelling and grammar, and part of my enjoyment so far in this story has been the good english.

brilliant story so far, wonder what type of magical creature it is,please start updating soon

Gosh.

If you ever update this -

I want to know.
