Reviews For Harry Potter and the Ferratilis Potion
Nita
Thanks for updating!
I expect him to have had serious troubles with the past couple of days; and, no matter how fond I am of Draco and Harry getting along, it's entirely possible that Draco will hate him more than ever, blaming him for everything. I hope, through the re-introduction of Draco, you at least partially allude to Lucius's change of heart. Funny, I thought your Ron wouldn't be so upset as the others concerning Snape's guardianship of Harry. After all, he's the one who's been bringing Harry to Snape all along, in the night - and, there was that time where he brought Harry down to the Gryffindor common room and Harry was swept up into Snape's arms. Ron, more than anybody save Harry and Snape themselves, has seen their true relationship firsthand. Up until now he has viewed it with relative equanimity. I think (hope?) that once he gets over his surprise, he will stop being disapproving. Also, Ron's relationship with Harry has turned distinctly big-brother-like, a shift that Ron seems to have enjoyed. I think Ron will continue to be very protective of Harry despite the fact that Harry has regained his age and height, and maybe this is why he had such a strong reaction to Harry not becoming a Weasley: he half *already* thought he had a little brother. It doesn't seem like he'll want to let go of that new role. So far this story is great! I hope you continue soon. -Kirinin Author's Response: Thanks for all the reviews. I really do enjoy reading them all. As for a couple of your questions/comments. Um the first, Ron's reaction- I wanted him to react as he did, because he'd just been preparing up a room for his "little" brother. He won't stay mad forever. Another of your comments, I did give Lucius a reason... and I know I haven't said it yet... perhaps it's well overdue. It's hard to juggle so many story elements, but I'll try to work it in the next chapter or so...
I do wonder why it was that Lucius helped Snape in the end. Were they really that close? Looked at from a wider perspective, Lucius was in essence holding Snape's safety higher than that of his wife or son... he had to know they would immediately become targets. Did he owe Snape? Did he suddenly have the epiphany that he was living a lie and pushing his whole family to do the same? His own story here is a yawning gap in your tale - not that you necessarily could have managed to tell his story at the same time as Harry's and Snape's. It's strange, though, that he sacrificed so much - and, from our POV, so quickly. -K
The death of both of Draco's parents in more or less the same moment is horrific. This was a very powerful, very difficult chapter. -K |
