I've an awful feeling that "matron" is planning on kidnapping. Scorpius malfoy from the hogwarts express:( Not good news!

Harry is excited, understandably, about the thought of walking again. I'm sure it's common for patients to try and push themselves too far and too hard at first trying to speed up the process.

Ron's plan sounds incredibly dangerous, I have huge respect for him and can only hope it works out.

Author's Response: You're right on all three accounts! My pre-betas actually scolded me for wanting to put Ron into a situation where he could easily wind up in a wheelchair. Keep reading to see if your predictions come true.

Nice chapter......and I'm on tenterhooks to see who the Matron is!!!!

Author's Response: Go back and read Chapter Ten; Meetings. The Matron is actually given a name in the first section by Healer Stilwell. However, because she is only known by her minions by her hospital title and the Aurors have become used to calling her that as well, she remains nameless because it's easier to keep referring to her as such. Also, if for some reason someone who shouldn't know it used her real name inside the hospital, she would know she was being watched. I hope this helps. Thanks for commenting.

Very interesting. I look forward to seeing Ron's plan will work. Harry's pt session seemed very realistic to me and I'm glad he is making some progress.

Author's Response: Harry's PT session is realistic because I had help from a very dear friend who spends many hours in therapy for various ailments. When I first asked for her help she told me she would help me only if I made the PT scenes as realistic as possible. I'm indebted to her because so many people have commented on Harry's treatment reminds them of something they have experienced or someone they know who shares Harry's plight. As for Ron's planned mission, it's quite risky because he's deliberately setting himself up to be vulnerable to the Matron's experimentation. If something goes wrong, Ron could end up in a wheelchair just like Harry. Thanks for reading and commenting. Until next Thursday...

Oh, no! I take it she's targeting Scorpius and not Draco himself. I hope her timetable is not too advanced as compared to Ron's. The mission sounds incredibly risky. Nice to see that Harry is having some improvements, and that walking is a possibility, at least with crutches. So, we're finally seeing a little of Matron. Nice job.

Author's Response: I won't make any confirmations as to whom the Matron is targeting because I'd be giving too much away, or when she plans to carry out her latest idea. Ron's justifiably scared about what the mission entails because of the personal risks he's going to be taking. He's seen what Harry's life is like at the moment and as supportive as he's been to his friend, deep down, Ron doesn't want to end up like Harry. Can you blame him? Anyway, Harry is definitely determined to become ambulatory, even if it means being dependent on crutches for the rest of his life. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Until next Thursday...

Yay!!! Harry will walk again:) You made me so happy! I know I have made some mildly critical comments in the past, but I have to say your Harry and Ginny are one of the most real depiction of the canon couple:) Loved this chapter!

Author's Response: Criticism or critical comments are what make writers better. They help us focus on where we're going with our writing and why we make our characters do certain things so that our characters more believable and our plots more enjoyable. As aggrivating as they can be sometimes, I appreciate having to defend myself or explain why the characters act in certain ways. I'm glad I've made you happy because I'm aiming to make Harry and Ginny and Harry's situation as realistic as I can. I just hope that you won't be too disappointed if Harry's "normal" doesn't turn out to be a complete recovery: life isn't like that, especially when one suffers a catestrophic injury like Harry did, so even though he may eventually become ambulatory, he probably won't have the same level of physical fitness that he enjoyed pre-accident. Thanks for your comment. Until next Thursday...
