Very intriguing.

Thanks very much!

Thanks! It's going to be a fairly long chase, since Minerva isn't worried about Harry until his fifth year.

Thank you!

Oh, such hard, sad lessons for a child to learn. Poor Harry. Poor kitty. Poor stupid people who can't tell petunia is manipulating them! Thank goodness Minerva brought the letter herself! Looking forward to better lessons for Harry.

[lomonaaeren]

Thanks!

Petunia is really good at manipulation, I think. But yes, it's still upsetting.
