Reviews For the Secret of Slytherin
Nice touch having Harry almost 'claim' Draco with the Imperious.
Author's Response: Bless you for reviewing! And yes, Obscura is mangled Latin, hopefully fitting in with JK's Latinate incanting. It means 'in the dark' or 'hidden', in my interpretation. :) -K
Author's Response: Thanks for your reviews, Shela! More chapters coming soon! -K
I love it!!! I couldn't review because I did not want to stop reading long enough to do so. Thanks for inserting chapter 3. It helped explain what will probably be an important aspect of your story. The last chapter was exciting: I think Draco got off lightly. After all, he started doing cruicio first!! Yet no one said anything, Harry's self reasoning aside. It's good to know what Harry was doing to himself and I did think it would turn out to be bad. Does he yet know occulumency? I think Snape's punishment was too much, but obviously you don't since you are the 'voice of God' who directs everything. I'm looking forward to Harry and Draco coming to some sort of understanding in the future based on a week of "togetherness." Hermoinie is one the warpath!!!!! Love it! Remember, I'm not asking questions that have to be answered. As a teacher, we teach students to make predictions about what we think will happen next. I do that with stories I read by chapters not so much to get answers from the author, I'd much rather they write more story for me to read and find out if I was right or wrong that way! It's an indication of someone really enjoying what is happening in the story and engaged in the characters!!!! Thanks for writing more!!!! I bet you never thought you'd have a teacher thanking you for writing! Author's Response: Harriverse, I'm really glad you're enjoying the story so far! (The thing about chapter three not showing really annoyed me! I hope everyone goes back and reads it, as you did...) Draco got off lightly? Wait and see. You think Snape's punishment was too much... I see Snape as a very harsh disciplinarian (when he's bothering to actually TEACH rather than merely terrorize.) I wrote things that way because I thought that Snape would deem such a thing an appropriate punishment, not because I did. An interesting assumption of many readers is that the author serves as the voice of her characters. I often don't. Sometimes my characters do stupid stuff or harsh things or go about things the wrong way, even if they are main characters. I got into a lot of trouble awhile back by writing a main character who had a distinctly mysogynistic POV... and my readers could be dissuaded from the idea that I felt the same. (Riiight.) "I bet you never thought you'd have a teacher thanking you for writing!" Hmm. I bet you never thought you'd be reading the HP fiction of another teacher. Thanks for the interesting review! Author's Response: Whoops. That up there should say "my readers could NOT be dissuaded." Anyway... thanks again! -K |
