Reviews For For Duty and Honor
Author's Response: Only makes sense, actually. :) I mean, Harry Potter is a British character and should sound like one. 'Sides it always annoyed me when American characters sounded British.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it!
I am enjoying the story, however I just breezed through this chapter. I slowed down when I found wording that was different than what was in book 5. Mostly what you have Snape or Harry say. I am looking forward to see how Harry & Snape handling living in the same house. Author's Response: Unfortunately, it was necessary to have lots of canon here. Fortunately, it's pretty much the last canon incorporated into the story. I'm glad you're enjoying this!
That whole scene of revealing the prophecy in the Order of Phoenix was quite horrible but the events in your story seemed to make it even more so. It was very effective, all that yelling from Harry just seemed so much more serious. You're Severus is still very in character. And after 14 chapters, you should be very proud. I feel like he needs to do something though, with Harry, to show him that he can trust him. Harry is always a bit oblivious but he still seems to think Snape could hurt him in some way, when its obvious to us that he won't. This was a great chapter, I'm so glad your still going with it! Best of luck with the next one! Author's Response: Thanks! I've been trying hard to make sure that Severus stays Severus. :) The thing is, for a child in Harry's situation, trust comes hard. I'm not saying that it won't happen, but it will take time. Harry's spent fourteen years learning that adults can neither be trusted nor relied upon, and that isn't undone overnight. I've always seen Severus, above all, as an honorable man, so he will do right by Harry. He will do his best to prove to Harry that he's to be trusted and that he won't pull a Dursley or suddenly disappear like Sirius did. I mean, Harry loved Sirius, and he trusted him more than any grown-up, but due to circumstances, Sirius just couldn't be there for Harry. Frankly, Harry has never really had a present parent-figure who wasn't abusive.
*Sobs* This was perfect! I loved it and I want MORE lol. Author's Response: Chapter fifteen will be up in a few weeks. :) I'm glad you're enjoying this!
* blinking back tears * That was intense and insightful. I think you did an excellent job of keeping Harry in-character as a deeply insecure, confused adolescent. I do have one question - is this a Harry/Ginny 'ship? If so, would you please mention that somewhere? Author's Response: No, it's not. Harry is in no shape to try and deal with a girlfriend right now. Ginny might've let Harry know that she likes him, but he's clueless, and he's going to stay that way. If I continue and write sequels after this one ends, it might eventually turn Harry/Ginny, but probably not until the end of sixth year at the earliest. For Duty and Honor will end when summer does. I might actually do a sixth year, because I'm about halfway to figuring out a plot for it, but I'm not sure yet. I'm very glad you're enjoying this!
Author's Response: Hey, I don't mind! Nagging is a good thing! ;)
This is my third reading of this piece. I told you I loved it. Ido. However, I feel as if you have more writing to do- I want more. I know you proably feel that if you did, it would never end, and you'd have to keepwriting foever. I think you're brilliant though. Thanks again Author's Response: No, it's not finished. The next part will be up in a few days. :) Thanks for sticking with this!
I like this view of Snape - he's smart and strong and courageous. This doesn't make him a "nice guy," but I hate stories that make him weak... Author's Response: I always thought that he'd have to be smart, strong, and courageous. I mean, that was how I think JKR originally painted him. However, I think that she upped the nasty factor and started dumbing him down a bit. I have hopes that he will recover... My Snape may eventually become a bit nicer to Harry at least, but I don't know if he'll ever be a 'nice guy.'
Author's Response: I'll try, but my beta reader is on holiday, so it all depends on when I can manage it. |
