Who in their right mind complains that a chapter is too long? That just means more story to read, which is a GOOD thing!

So how is Snape getting past the promise he made to Dumbles? Or is his vow to keep Harry safe overriding the one to Dumbles? *curious*

I'm not sure how I feel about Petunia trying to act like she cares for Harry NOW, instead of when he was small, when he really needed it. Yes, he needs love now, but her denying it when he was small SCARRED HIM TERRIBLY. And that plan she and Vernon came up with made NO sense, none whatsoever! Especially allowing Dudley to become such a horrible bully towards Harry! Grrrr

I'm having a hard time believing this. There's just no good excuse for how they treated Harry. NONE! If they'd been spelled to come up with such a horrible plan, THAT I could believe, but you're trying to get us to believe that they did it on their own. How STUPID would someone have to be to think that was a GOOD idea? Are Petunia and Vernon both brain damaged? Dudley certainly seems to be!

Um, this is the absolute first time I've heard about Harry having an agreement with Voldemort. Did I miss it in a previous chapter? Voldie demanded that Harry learn from him, Harry had to acquiesce or be made to suffer. When was this "agreement" made?

I'm surprised at Paul. What was up with that?

Looks like Harry running to hide was a good idea. A pseudonym of Evan James won't fool Snape, he's going to know it's Harry. Heck, Harry is probably going to come down from that tree in the next chapter.

I would appreciate if you would finish the story. after years of following it I would really like an ending.

Harry is playing a VERY dangerous game with Voldemort. Is he actually ready for that? I hope so!

I am really hoping nothing bad happens to Paul or Sensei, because Harry is really becoming attached and I don't think he'd survive that.

Oh Good, Fawkes is going to keep Harry's secret? And maybe Petunia will let Remus know where Harry is? Hey, why is Remus using a cane? Why is he considered unable to participate in the war? What happened?

Oh I love how the WARDS are turning against Dumbledore and Snape! LOL Goody!

So... You're ignoring canon? Harry, book one, ducking under Petunia's frying pan. That was LEARNED behavior. She had HIT him with the dang thing in the past. Vernon manhandling Harry, at the very least. And Dudley actually using his friends to regularly beat Harry up if they caught him during "Harry Hunting."

While I am LOVING the fact that Paul got through to Harry that what happened to Sirius was NOT his fault, I'm still mad as a wet hen that Harry is letting Voldemort dominate HIS dreams. Has no one ever told Harry that what goes on inside his own head is HIS domain and NOBODY can dominate him in there unless he LETS them? He can control his own dreams. He can control his own thoughts. He can control ANYTHING that happens INSIDE HIS OWN HEAD. I'd say it's past time someone pointed out that he has homeground advantage, don't you?

That was weird. Why did Paul ask who Snape was? Unless he's still pretending he hasn't spoken to Hermione? But hasn't Harry mentioned Snape to Paul already? I'm pretty sure he has... :(

Ha! Dumbles has NO idea he's playing into Petunia's hands. Which is weird, because Petunia also hates Harry. It's like somebody cast a spell on her to make her care about Harry. Did one of the Order do it? *curious*

Hey, does this mean Dumbles and Snape will also stay away from Hermione? I hope so!

Um, since Hermione knows where Harry is, all Snape or Dumbles have to do it pluck the information from her mind, because they make a habit of reading Harry's mind, why not hers? SHE didn't learn occlumancy.

That's sad. I was hoping they'd be able to help him there.

Snape is NOT a teacher, though. Putting instructions on the board and telling kids not to screw it up is in NO way teaching them anything. They'd do just as well or bad by relying on the book!

Yelling, "Clear your mind!" before mind raping Harry doesn't count as teaching him occumency either. Grrrrr

Love it! Hope you come back and finish this story soon. I can't wait to see how it ends!
