This is so sweet I loved it. The relationship between Sirius and Harry was so brilliantly written and the emotions from all the characters were amazing. The epilogues were really sweet. All together it was just a wonderful read. I loved it.

I aboslutely love this story...your depiction of Sirius, Remus, and poor Harry are perfect! I LOVE YOU!

That was...amazing...

Actually there are 3 if I remember correctly. There is the one in the front of your neck right by the wind pipe which is some thing like the jugula and then there are two more. The other two are directly across from eachother. If I remember correctly they are what normally are the cause of a heart attack when they get clogged. I think they are called some thing like the carrodded. My spelling sucks so don't pay it any mind but I know that those are the largest ones in the neck from sword training and combat research.

If you've read the end of dh then you'll remember that Ron had just got his licence. All I'm saying is that wizards can have them just most don't think to get them. Also what about Arthur in cos? He drove his family as well as the rest of the golden trio to the station at the begining of the book didn't he?

They need to ask Harry if he wants to testify!

Ok. You need to get a reality check here. The doctor, even in England, has to report child abuse especially to this extent. He needs the names of Vernon and Petunia Dursley and he needs Harry's name. The doctor is required to document this abuse by taking pictures and x-rays if possible. He must report this to the Police and Child Services. This is abuse to the possibility of calling it attempted murder. The doctor can keep Sirius' identity a secret but must report that the child is in the care of a responsible adult. No doubt the police will want to see Harry. That can be arranged. Secrecy is allowed for the child's protection. Here, well, Albus is at fault. All Sirius needs to say is that he placed Harry with the Dursleys. Right now keeping it in the Muggle World would keep Sirius as his guardian.

Poor Harry.

Excellent! No I don't think 5 is too early to remember things. Actually the older we get the less we remember of our early childhood. Normal humans remember back to the about 3 years old. Sometimes between 2 and 3. If you want Harry to remember back older than that he needs to be about 5 maybe 6. As for remembering, what kid wouldn't remember a big dog to play with. Eventually he could remember Sirius. It would make an impression. He would remember the stag too especially if James rode him around on his back. The older he gets the less he will believe these memories thus the dreams in Canon. Harry has been around adults for most of his life. Not allowed a childhood. Treated like an adult. For him to talk and react like an adult would be reasonable.

Okies. More interesting.

Actually very interesting.

I love it!! Harry is so cute!!

Um... maybe Sirius was so calm 'cause he was in shock? I dunno... Your story is really good! I love it and your writing style!

This was such a heart-reaking chapter. I almost cried.

This fic was so good (I got through it in 2 days)! I ahve been hunting for a good abuse story or child Harry fic. So many I roll my eyes at or are just to graphic for my liking. I thought all the characters were believable. Harry's innocence was perfect along with Padfoot's protectiveness. I love how you showed their relationship evolve. It was so good! Absolute love!
