Reviews For For Duty and Honor
Author's Response: Thanks! In the American Muggle world, teachers have to have some sort of documented evidence before they can report abuse--it has to be more than vague suspicion. While I don't know the specifics in the UK--the references I found didn't go that far--I'm assuming it's pretty much the same, because accusations of child abuse can absolutely ruin lives...
Mhhhh, that sounds good… Will Snape even volunteer to take him in? Somehow I can imagine it… But please go on soon! Author's Response: We'll see. I am, however, trying to go against the norm of Dumbledore forcing Snape to take Harry. Glad you're enjoying it!
Author's Response: Thanks! As I've said before, hopefully I'll be able to do weekly updates.
Author's Response: I agree, actually. I was rereading OOtP and realized that the logical person to find out about Harry's less-than-steller home life was Professor Snape due to the occulmancy lessons.
Author's Response: I've always thought him a rather interesting character. <g> I mean, he's the mysterious man in black--and there must be some pressing reason why Dumbledore trusted him so much. He can't be all vindictive snark and anger...
Author's Response: Caring? Hm, not so sure. <g> Possessive, yes. Doing his job, yes. We'll have to see...
Author's Response: You'll find out, I promise. I'm alternating POVs with chapters while we make it through the rest of the school year, so it's Harry's turn to talk next.
Author's Response: Fairly soon, I promise. While I do have buffer, I prefer not to eat all of it up before I've finished writing the story.
Author's Response: I'm aiming for once a week, but we'll see.
Oh this is such a great start! :) I can't wait to see where you're going with this. You are doing great keepign Severus in character, and the way he handled Dumbledore was interesting. It gave him a bit more personality as he proved not to be the obedient -though reluctant- pawn most of the other stories portray him. Keep the good work, and I hope you update soon. Author's Response: Thank you! I'm not saying that Severus is a darn nice guy, but I do think that considering his tenous background, he wouldn't stand for any of his students being abused. And with the Muggle laws being what they are, I simply transferred some of them over to the Wizarding world. And our Sev is Slytherin enough to get a guarentee that the child wouldn't be sent back. Aside from that, nobody can be obediant all the time. I think that Severus is stubborn enough that he'd be rather insistent--especially in a case like Harry's in which he was placed in a household to protect him from our would-be supreme evil overlord. |
