OMG what a way to tug at my heartstrings! I had briefly wondered why his Bogart was not Vernon... as life at home was not well. Never really thought to put it into a story. That would have changed a lot I think,

A paw print? really? That' e

So sad.

Riddikulus.

Ridikulus. Not 'Ridikkluas.' Just thought I'd point that out.
Thanks.

Ridikulus. Not Ridickkluas.

Wailah! Please don't make it a one shot continue it!

The dog is Sirius I'm guessing

this is a really great story, you should think about continuing it, even if its just another chapter

Very well done, very dark and raw, it's a reasonable enough extension of Harry's life with the Dursleys. You portray the emotion very well, and I like the scene at the end with Sirius. Your capitalization is a little weird at points, but otherwise, well written.

nice

Wow.. I...
I just...
Wow...
Never thought I'd review something else other than merlin but this was...[
I mean he doesn't really fear Vernon because of his magic but being abused at a young age with no control tho... Wow

that ending was so sweet!

Hello there! That was a very nice little story, and I think good short stories can be much harder to pull off than longer fiction. So leave it be it's just fine. I also like it that you respect the authorotay, er, I mean the English language including spelling. If you like Dark Harry stories you might check out Brigade's 'Embraced by the Darkness.' I too hate abandoned stories, about equally with poor English and Deus ex Machina, if I have the labelled the last problem correctly; tho I don't encounter it in fanfics nearly as much as the other two...irritants. Anyway this was meant to be encouraging, so please keep writing what you want, OK?
Best, JD

Bittersweet and haunting. I love this story - I wish I knew what happened next! Thank you for reviewing my stories, by the way. I think they're my favourites! You have excellent taste and an eloquent writing style. I look forward to seeing more of your work. VV xxxx
