Araytigre: Interesting, it
would seem that Harry's Magic has changed somewhat (possibly due to using the
AK?), as he no longer has his connection with Hedwig, nor as it seems, able to
use his Mothers Wand. It didn't surprise me that Harry recognized Sirius (with
his memory and all), but it did surprise me that Padfoot bolted like he did,
well, at least they have found each other. Where they go from there is the next
question. I'm glad that Harry didn't obliviated Lisa and her Family, that would
have been just wrong. I wonder which of his Friends will think of Hedwig first,
in order to try finding him. I also wonder if he has been in contact with
either the Flamel's or Andi, either or both would have been a good idea. I'm
also happy that his Friends are together, even if it is at the Zabini Manor.
Thank You. TTFN
Answer: I’m glad you’re
enjoying the story so far. Harry’s magic hasn’t really changed due to using the
AK, or at least, not just because he used the AK. Magic is a lot more complex
than what has been revealed thus far. I’ll go into the sentience of magic and
why neither his mother’s wand nor Hedwig are listening to him right now.
Nine Lives
Bladeworks: I really appreciated the ending in The Heir of Slytherin.
While it wasn't enjoyable to have Hermione killed off, it showed that you are
willing to sacrifice major characters to advance the plot and has staved off my
fears that Harry will eventually become Gary Stuish.
On
a lighter note, I enjoyed the scene where you had Mrs Zabini blackmail Daphne's
father. It was a really nice touch as not only did it add a great deal of
humour to the chapter but it also helped to subtly remind us that he wasn't
always a bad person and helped show the complex shades a character can take.
Speaking
of which, will Stephanie be seen again during the summer? I really enjoyed her
character. Also, will the purpose of the blood stone Stephanie gave Harry be
shown soon?
Answer: To be fair, Hermione
wasn’t a major character in my story. I know that, canonically speaking, she
has a very active role, being one of Harry’s only two friends, but in my story,
Hermione isn’t really that important of a character in the grand scheme of
things. It’s something that not a lot of people really thought about when I
kill her off. All they see is me killing a canon favorite.
You
mean Selene, right? I don’t have a Stephanie in my story.
Noble Korhedron: Heh-heh... So Harry
can remember Padfoot?! Is he a savant or something?! Or just has a very long
memory...?
Answer: Because Harry has
perfect memory. That was the whole basis for me writing this series. Harry
recognized Padfoot because he has the ability to remember everything that has
ever happened to him, and he remembers how Sirius transformed into a dog before
his parents were killed.
