Wow, everyone is moving along and Christmas is getting closer.

Loved Snape's reaction to Harry's letter in the first bit.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING STORY! i totally love this story. I can see everything in my head as if i was watching a movie. Great job i love how you brought in the new teen Tom and how you write everyone it's simply fantastic. Please update soon!

*coos* The end of this chapter was so cute! (Yes, I'm having a girl-moment, and believe me, it's frightening.)

I like how the cartoon leaking helped Severus' status as Harry's guardian. Granted, the journalist knew that would happen, or hoped anyways, but it's still good to see such plans come to fruition.

Foreshadowing on some form of Lucius/Petunia relationship amused me greatly. Whether this is actual foreshadowing or intentional misleading doesn't really matter. What matters is that it's fun to speculate.

See you next chapter!

That was a lovely chapter. I don't think Uncle Aggie is going to be very happy in the future and grandmother Longbottom needs a real kicking in the rear.

I am a bit pouty about the paragraph in which Petunia discusses her and Lucius. It could her true feelings or, better yet, "methinks the lady doth protest too much."

Hm, could Bill find out about Tom's secret - so looking forward to more.

wow,Tom and Dora, huh? somehow, it didn't seem all that unexpected. anyway, great chapter?

great chapter

I somehow knew dora and tom would happen, being relatively close in age. =D

I'm wondering if you'll do anything with the life debt Harry owes to Tom though.

Kissage! I'm glad Yvanne kept quiet during the kiss. I hope Bill doesn't snoop too much. I'd like to see the all the Christmas presents received. I'm really hoping Molly will be able to help Neville. And oh my! Scabbers!

I loved it.

Aw! I'm glad everything's going well for now! Tom and Dora! Aw! I can't wait to see what's next!

tom and tonks?
that I think i never saw before

This was a lovely chapter. I really do enjoy Tom's development; it's perfect. The kiss between he and Dora was sweet!

I do hope Neville gets turned around. He was always such a good child.

Lucius & Petunia?? Please!!

PLEASE bring on the Longbottom/Weasley confrontation!

I wonder how Bill will react if he does figure it out and what will he do with the information? I'm glad that he passed on the information to his father and I know that they will find a way to help Neville. I still hope that Neville will get over his jealousy of Harry and Draco and perhaps become friends with them in time, but if nothing else I hope that he will become more tolerant at the very least. He certainly owes Draco a huge apology for hexing him.

I'm glad that the boys enjoyed the Quiddich game and got to meet the team. It's small things like this that make childhood a wonderful thing and to share it with close friends makes it even more special.

Great chapter!

great start i really like it.
