    I wonder if the link to Voldemort is what is causing this reaction? Could the bonding eradicate the horcrux, seeing as basilisk venom is one of the few ways to destroy one? Wouldn't that be a wonderful bonus!? I just hope that Severus won't panic and possibly hurt Hissy.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Yup, you're completely correct (which I can now reveal as the next chapter is out). When I was planning this scene, I realised that Harry's immunity to the venom did not equate to voldemort being immune and, indeed, the basilisk's magic would attack Voldemort's soul viciously as he was an 'enemy'. So, the horcrux is dead and Harry doesn't have to risk his life to get rid of it.

    Oh man, a cliff hanger! This chapter was too small!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review: I know, sorry: the chapters in this fic seem to fall into bitesized pieces rather than great long chapters. However, I hope the fact that I update almost daily helps :)

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review: I know, evil cliffhanger but (as you now know) it was to his benefit ^^

    That is a good interpritation of the Basilisk. I never did like the way the movie had it. It was too ugly. My favorite image for a basilisk was the Ring of Life's one, if you've ever read that book. Reminded me of Quetzecoatl. Loved the pups. Kudos on a job well done.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I also thought they made the poor creature too ugly; with but one exception (the fer-de-lance) Snakes are very beautiful creatures and, more often than not, gentle with it.

    Ooh I cant wait to see how Harry is going to react to the fact that he has a godfather. Or how he and Severus are going to decide what to do about the poison. I really liked how you had everyone (almost everyone) share their little cooking stories:) Great job!!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review; yu, there's a whole can of worms open. Like Terry Pratchett, I think that many stories forget that people don't spend all of their time wafting on a cloud of angst; to live we must eat and, therefore, cooking must turn up sooner or later. Besides, Snape, as Potions Master must be a good cook lol!

    It is a good idea to bind Hissy with Harry. For several reasons, it will lend protection to both Harry and Hissy, it will keep Voldemort from attempting to do so, and it will provide Hissy and Harry with lifetime companionship (well at least for as long as Harry lives). Add into that the immunity to basilisk venom factor and really it makes good sense to do this. I do understand Severus' hesitation, though; he is thinking as a parent who wants to keep his child safe from all harm, as under normal circumstances, drinking poison would be considered quite dangerous.

    Sounds like Harry is about to get a puppy. I'm not at all surprised that Harry chose the runt of the litter. His empathy is one reason, as he would never wish any creature to feel unwanted. Another is that a less boisterous puppy, which on the shy side, is more suited to his personality.

    I hope that Severus listened carefully to what Lucius told him. Harry loves his father and would never choose Sirius over him. Besides, Sirius will hardly be ready psychologically to care for a child after spending years in Azkaban. It will take time for him to heal from the cruel atmosphere that he has only just left.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review. Yes, there are a myriad of good reasons for doing this (including one which I'm keeping to myself for the moment ;) but Severus will always worry over Harry: Severus is a pessamist and, therefore, will be on tenterhooks every time Harry does anything even remotely risky. The shy, gentle puppy is a much less worrying option lol!

    Lucius's advice is good but, naturally, Severus will continue to fear: like Harry, he needs his worth proved to him and it will take time for these worries to fade. (Sirius, of course, is in no fit state to care for himself, let alone Harry.)

    So much for Severus to worry about, but maybe Harry will reassure him - especially if he gets ownership of the runt of the litter.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review: Harry, of course, loves Severus very much so he is definately not going to abandon his new father but, unfortunately, Severus is rather paranoid.

    "The Headmaster was not comforted by the bird response: which was to turn his back and contemptuously relieve himself. "

    LMAO... that's the best line EVER!
