Just the story i've been looking for
I been seaching for the ones 'bout
when harry was liitle and before hogwarts
thanx for your efforts to create this worderful story!
It was short and sweet and had a half hour entertainment!
if your thinking of writing a similar one you could do one with harry a bit smaller like 7-8 or
just ofter dumbledore dropped him off
thanx,
Love~ The Grim

I'm tearing up now, though I knew it had to happen sometime. I became sort of attached to Kayleigh. I hate stupid Dudley, going to her funeral to get out of class! And her poem was so so sweet, but that last line killed me.

I am really liking this story! Kayleigh reminds me so much of myself! When Piers pulled that lighter out, I thought they were going to burn Harry for a second...this portrayal of Harry's life is exactly how I've always pictured it.

This second chapter was really really great! I liked Harry's art teacher and the painting he drew. It sort of reminds me of a story I wrote, where Harry and Ginny draw pictures of one another--their version of a princess/prince--when they're little. This was cute!

This story was so sad but I loved it. Ms. JK never really goes into Harry's life before Hogwarts so I think it was really touching that you wrote this. May Kayleigh be happy beyond the rim of this world. (Sniff, sob, cry)

Great story, definitely. You've done what I almost find impossible in fanfictions that I've read, and that is make a really believable Harry. Your writing style is also nice and tight, keeping me in the mood and setting you create.

Kayleigh - I really liked her, she was a nice person to see Harry interact with, and was interesting in her own right.

Oh, it was so sad when his friend died! But nicely handled.

Overall, I think you definitely did this piece and story justice. It was a nice plot, leading up to what he know of him and what happens in canon. Really enjoyable, though sad as heck at times. I look forward to reading more of your work. 8-)

This is a great story. I just have a few questions,
Well obviously Kayleigh knows about the magical world(duh)but, does that mean that she's a witch or a squib with magical relatives?
Is that the reason the Dursleys disliked her family so much?
Does she really have cancer? or does she have a magical desease and cancer is just a excuse that she made up?

Well, that's all. I really like your story and I'm enjoying reading it. Please write chapter 8 soon!

Well, what happened to Harry's gang by the time the first book started? He didn't have any friends then. And I think the book said that he'd never been able to make friends...everyone was too scared of Dudley. Out of canon, but still good. Kayleigh's cool.

Well, your story has a fairly interesting plotline so far, and the idea of it is actually pretty original, which is something you don't see so often anymore, but you really need to work on the grammar you have used in this story. The two things that I noticed the most were this. You NEVER left a space after commas used in a sentence. For examples, please see this sentence and the rest of this post. Also, when you have lines of dialog with no extaneous words added, like 'he said' or 'she asked' you need to leave an empty line in between the dialog given by different people. In this cahpter you seemed to have noticed this and put forth some effort to correct these mistakes, but perhaps before you post your chapters, you could proof read it, or get a beta (someone who will read over your stories, and hopefully catch any mistakes you have missed) Overall, good story, and something I would want to read to the end if you keep up with it and post regularly.

I love stories about little Harry. This one is really cute, with some funny dialog between Harry and Dudley ("What are you looking at?" Not much." heh.) I'm curious as to where the story will go, and what kind of things will happen before the end.

I'd suggest double spacing between paragraphs and spacing after commas to make it easier to read.

Hey, pretty neat. Like I said, I had an idea for a story like this, though it is different. (I'm guessing the same pattern, though: Harry's life SUX. Harry gets friends. Harry loses friends. Harry's life SUX. But that's an oversimplification anyway.) This is good, you should continue. Your Dursleys are nicely mean without being over the top, and I like your take on younger Harry. Just one thing: if Gerald is a year below Harry, and Harry's the year before Hogwarts, that puts him in the 9-10 age range. Should he have a girlfriend that young? But I'm sure you have reasoning behind that. Good luck!
