makotosagara(I'm a little behind on these, and I apologise profusely!)
LittleLizard: I searched the net, but I couldn´t find a mention of swans eating frogs...most swan species are herbivore and some eat a low percentage of water insects and fish spawn. You didn´t confuse the swan with a stork or a heron? Also I liked Set me free very much and the sequel also, but I am a bit torn about the dining..to me it doesn´t really fit the Harry you described in your story. Killing mindlessly, wasting life, eradicating a family(Also because Harry and his mother..we all know that story). Especially because they can´t even eat one of them whole..and water buffalos are pretty dangerous and fast animals..not fat and slow. A single grown water buffalo is hard enough to take down..and there is no american water buffalo. Only an imported asian originated water buffalo or an african buffalo. Water buffalos are very dangerous to inexperienced predators and often enough also kill them. ONly experienced predators in the size range of a tiger or jaguar will take on a buffalo when no easier prey is there. Buffalos will also shield a calf between them and defend each other with their horns. If it had been real life and not fiction, there would have been a big chance for life threatening injuries or even death to the panther and tiger. I know it is fiction and in the end it doesn´t matter for the story if there are frog eating swans or if the cats had eaten a whole buffalo herd or dined on veela virgins or whatever, but sometimes there are storys who trigger a whole thought process in my mind and I can not find rest until it is out. So please don´t see it as ill will or something similiar, rather musings of a restless mind. As I have seen a swan eat a frog, I'm not going to go there. Of course, it was a rather vicious thing, but then again most water fowl are. So, no, I did not have Narcissa's form confused with some other water fowl. Besides, it's Narcissa. She's only going to take the whole animal instinct thing so far. Frog legs she can do. Insects, I think not. The concept of the dining was to bring out the more animal side of their nature, and I think I did that rather well. Harry's form is that of a panther, and once he's into his "predator" mind-set (added to healthy competition with Draco), he's not going to equate animals with humans. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. And there are water buffalo in America. End of story. Sometimes you have to let the little details go so that you can enjoy the story, but I did do research into the eating habits of the animals I chose. If you have a problem with that, I'm sorry. I'm glad that you enjoyed it otherwise. Thank you for reviewing.
delia cerrano: Ready for the next sequel. This one was great fun also. Well, it's done and with Jokes, but since I keep sending her chapters for other stuff, it's slow going. Not to mention that it's nearly 50 pages long. ^_^
unneeded: oh, a good continuation to a great story... sucks being that calf though. :P *wonders off to read the rest of your other stories. you write really good ones. ^^ i'm guesing the double up was accidental though? Thanks, unneeded! Yeah, that calf wasn't getting out of the hunt gracefully. *blush* Thanks! Yeah, the double up was an accident because aff.net is a little slow sometimes. It's fixed now though.
jujukitty: very nicely done! love draco's bout of nerves at the beginning and mione's fussing. and those two just have such chemistry no matter their form. one little thing, the text is posted a second time as soon as it ends. keep up the good work and i look forward to the actual sequal Thank you, juju! Draco's nerves were to be expected, I suppose, considering it's the first date he's having with Harry and he's taking him somewhere unusual. 'Mione's fussing was fun to work with. Yes, Harry and Draco have Muggle chemistry down to an artform. (I know about the double posting. Dumb aff.net was slow that day.) The actual sequel is with Jokes now. I'm sure she'd have it back to me if I stopped updating my WiPs in the mean time.
Anna: I loved this story. Some how, I ended up reading this part third, but it was just as good. I have to ask, can I borrow this restaurant for an animagus story I was going to write? It's so great! Hello, fellow Anna! I'm glad that you enjoyed the series and that it's not necessary to read them in order for it to make sense! You are welcome to use the idea of the restaurant, so long as you give credit to me. Animagi need fancy places to eat too, yeah? Thanks for reviewing!
