I just cant get out of my head that in that class, probably most of all those children will fill their family tree up to great-grandparent at most, and then some kid who didnt at first know who his parents were will probably show her a family tree dating from 1291. It is hilarious and I love it. kutgw

Family!

Author's Response: Thanks! I think Minerva would be the great beginnings of a family for Harry :)

Wonderful story; It had me in tears. Love stories that have McGonagall ignoring Dumbledore and taking a more active role with Harry. The Dursley's are such hateful people and you definitely portrayed that without making them over the top. I just want to wrap Harry in my arms and give him a hug. My only wish is that the assignment was given when he was 8, because I feel like that is the age you wrote him at, but I adore this story and would love to see a sequel. Fingers crossed

Author's Response: Thanks! I also love the idea of a more proactive McGonagall. I admit I went back and forth with the age Harry should be in the story, so part of that must have been reflected in the story. In the end I wanted it to only be a few months before he would learn about the wizarding world. I didn't want to turn this into a 'saving Harry from the Durselys story' - not the story I was trying to tell :)

As a mum, this made me tear up. Well done, though Harry does behave a little younger than the typical 10 year old might, at least compared to my own experience with boys that age. Still, had to grab the tissue to wipe my eyes and blow my nose. I'd love to read more.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I agree he might behave a bit younger, but I figure he's trying to fit his childhood into this one visit. With Minerva, he was able to do things he'd never done before and things his Aunt Petunia wouldn't allow.

Thank goodness for the Miss Kennels of this world. On a serious note, as a teacher myself l, we should never forget or underestimate the difference we can make in a child's life by listening to them, observing and acting on our instincts.

Author's Response: I agree! Miss Kennel is modeled after one of my favorite teachers. As a pediatric nurse, I agree that we can most certainly make a difference in a child's life! Thanks for reviewing.

Great story.
But you need to put a warning at the beginning...'Need to have a box of tissues, or a handkerchief, ready!'.
I could see poor Harry huddled against the school building trying to keep warm whilst eating his meagre lunch.
You definitely need to write a sequel. Would love to know how Minerva gets to introduce Harry to the wizard world, and not Hagrid. Dumbledore would have a purple fit if he knew.

Author's Response: Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I know, poor little Harry makes me want to mother him to death.

Harry seems to be meeting women who want to mother him and he certainly needs it.

Author's Response: Yes he does! I just imagine what a tragic little figure he would be. I'd be wrapped around his little finger.

Wow! I really shouldn't read stories like this at work -- because truckers aren't supposed to get misty-eyed and start sniffling.

Author's Response: Thanks! I hope no one spotted you all misty-eyed ;)

I loved this little story. Brought tears to my eyes. It's always upset me than not many people told Harry about his parents / family, and he turned up at Hogwarts knowing practically nothing about himself or the wizarding world.

It would be lovely if there was a sequel to this story, and we saw McGonagall taking him to Diagon Alley and teaching him even more about the wizarding world / his history. Maybe sending him a birthday present or two like "Hogwarts: A History" and "Modern Magical History"?

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I agree. I wish he'd known so much more about his family.

What a wonderful story! I love it when young!Harry gets the best (with help or without it) of the Dursleys. I would love to read more of this -- I wonder how McGonagall could get Harry's key from Hagrid (or Dumbledore) to take him to Diagon Alley.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm thinking about McGonagall taking him to Diagon Alley.

I have to admit that I really enjoy it when Professor McGonagall defies Dumbledore.
