I am a relative newcomer to the world of Harry Potter Fan Fiction. I recently discovered the good 'ship HG/SS, and I've been hooked to the point where it is my OTP.

I was a Ruth Kirschstein NRSA post-doctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. When I am not at the lab bench or in the classroom, I am an organist. I'd be in a church near me, occupying an organ bench, and blowing dust around the nave. (Just kidding.) Currently, I serve as organist/choirmaster for a couple of small Episcopal churches near Duke University.

Smart Snake. He is surely taking the right decision there.

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

I'd like to think so.  Poor thing probably wouldn't know what to do with his new-found freedom.Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I think you are right.  The poor thing probably wouldn't be able to care for itself and England's climate is nothing like Brazil's.  I know some critters hibernate but have no clue if that particular kind of snake can.

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

Very true.  I'm glad you liked this; thanks for your review.

Your snake is suffering from stockholm syndrome. Although it probably is a safer bet to go to the handler than to make it on his own.  Good one!

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

For a snake raised in captivity, the wild world is a scary place, indeed.Thanks for your review.

And home he goes. Harry, rat faced? Eeek, no Pettigrew comparisons please!

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

No, Harry is not the rat-faced boy.  That would be Dudley's friend, Piers Polkiss.

Cute take on the prompt. Who would want to give up that cushy life? 

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

I would think the snake would be stupid to give it up.Thanks for your review. :)

Giggle.  Aww, it was good he thought of those things before he got to Brazil.  Lovely answer to the prompt.

It would be a bit daunting to be that snake, out in the 'wild.'  Thank goodness he was found, amiga.

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

Considering that all it knew was a life in captivity, I'd also guess life in the wild would have been overwhelming.  Thanks, amiga! :)

Brilliant. I like how this was told from the snake's P.O.V.

Thanks! :)

I liked that you twisted it so the snake wanted to go back. Good Job.

Good take on that. I always wondered how the heck it would know where to go and how it would get there. Hahaha

Response from lyn_f (Author of Escape from Reptile House)

*snerk*I've often wondered that myself.  Thanks for your review.
