Crys,

I was wondering if you would mind if I also did a dream journal of Harry's. I wouldn't use your content or anything, just borrow the idea of the dream journal. I thought I'd ask before I did anything. Please let me know.
Thanks.

Crys replied:

Fine with me.   I'd appreciate (but certainly do not demand):

1) I got the idea of this form of story  from . . .

2) a URL so I can read yours

Thank you. I have read all of Dream Journal and enjoyed it very much. But then I expect nothing else but great writing from the authors on this site.
Regards
Yvonne

I like it - a great start for Harry to once again free someone, that learned to love him for who he is, no compulsion, and a chance to see a really manipulative Dumbles crushed to fine powder.

thanks for sharing

I love how Harry's subconscious is quoting 'The West Wing.' It was a nice touch, though I'm not sure when (or if) that show made it to Britain.

Crys replied:

Glad you caught the reference.   Even if the timing works (which I don't think it does), I can't imagine the Dursleys would've watched it.   Far too cerebral.

Naw, the line just fit into the situation and I used it.

Thanks for reviewing.

Nice. I particularly appreciated your canon correction of Dobby's freedom by the accidental dropping of a sock and your likening that to giving an elf dirty clothes to wash.

I'm very upset that you made Hermione out to be so deceitful. I therefore demand the next dream be another H/Hr tale! Okay? Good, that's settled, thanks. :-)

I'm going to assume that Harry took the second option ... once he could think clearly. I mean, the statement of his first option - "continuing with Hogwarts and his friends there" - shows that he still hadn't absorbed the facts, right? Because his 'friends' - certainly his *best* friends - weren't proper friends at all!

Crys replied:

[Crys looks at the next couple dream chapters in production.]   Erm . . .   Uh . . .

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

This is a very believable story. This could be the great beginning to an AU story. Thanks for showing us this bunny. It is great. pms

These are so cute. I love the solution. The next one is even better, keep it up.

Very Nice!

As a one-shot, this is the perfect place to end this, but as a springboard for more? Oohhhh, the possibilities!

And Hedwig is showing she is at least as intelligent as (if not way more than) Hermione, by her "liberal" interpretation (as I have inferred from the story) of Dumbledore's "rules", which to me means it wouldn't be long before Hedwig and Harry found a way to circumvent and nullify that "magical contract" without Dumbles knowing it was done, and feeding him a lot of misinformation.

Thanks for the great, albeit short, read!

That was very funny. I like the idea of the ultimate manipulative Dumbledore plan. Great chapter.

Wonderbee31 posted a comment on Wednesday 24th September 2008 8:31pm

Wow, I've been seeing some more interesting fics with Hedwig here lately, and loved the idea of her being and animagus veela, and one who may be falling for her charge, or maybe using him for her own schemes. Would really hope to see more of this in the future.

Crys replied:

Glad you said something about the ambiguity (whose side is she on?).   I tried to keep it from "looking" like she's going either way.

Thanks for reading.

Dragen posted a comment on Wednesday 24th September 2008 1:12pm

Oh I love this idea of Hedwig being a veela, I was thinking of making her into a human too for my story... :D

I like what Harry knows now, but what is he going to do with it and how is he going to save Hedwig from Dumblefuck??

PLEASE update soon mate, as I would like to see what happens next.

Wolfric posted a comment on Wednesday 24th September 2008 1:08pm

What's a poor boy to do? I say string the veela along and learn as much as he can in a lot of areas and then disappear into France. Thanks for writing. W.

Interesting, in a disturbing way.

uberwald posted a comment on Wednesday 24th September 2008 11:01am

As I started reading, I thought, "wow -- i've been wondering why I hadn't seen a story like this," having totally forgotten that I said something in that thread -- thanks for making something of the idea, very well done :)

Crys replied:

You're welcome.   Glad you enjoyed it.

Damn, talk about a hard choice.

gadriam posted a comment on Wednesday 24th September 2008 3:49am

Hmm. I'd read the next chapter where he tries to get the ownership, plays the other guardians against each other and has a lot of angsty fun. I'd read the following one as well as i have no idea what would happen. Fun, though.
Thanks

"Am I about to cross that point?"

"No, no; look behind you."

LOL! Loved that bit.

Crys replied:

Wish I could take credit for it, but saw it on an ep of "West Wing".   Great line, so I thought I'd borrow it.

Very unsettling. Everything said and done and he doesn't know what to do now that the pressure is off.
