Reviews For the Secret of Slytherin
In the meantime, I just wanted to say that the little scene where Harry was smelling his father's scent on the cloak brought me awfully close to needing to go get a box of tissues. Luckily, Ihad my handkerchief in my pocket. I've known for a long time that scent is one of the most emotive senses (my mum passed away in 1998 and I have a jumper of hers that still smells like her. I hug it when I'm really depressed about things) and I could really identify with Harry right then. It was a lovely piece of writing. Bravo! Author's Response: Ah! Well, you guessed a lot pretty early. Well done! I do like the idea that Harry has been under an enchantment which is only failing now. (That is the plot to one of my current WIPs. Shh!) I'm glad the scent thing worked for you. Funny; I am visiting my sister right now, and when she hugged me she said, "mmmm. You smell like a [name of our family]." I thought that was hysterical, but true - whenever I hug my sisters I'm like "yay... family-smell." :D -K
Author's Response: Let's say I wanted to keep the option open while I was writing the story. Now that I'm finished, I'd say the story should be classified as pre-slash, or that you're meant to infer that a more physical relationship between the two characters is at least possible. Now that I'm messing about with the sequel again, I have to decide for certain whether the pair really enters such a relationship or if I'm going to 'flirt' with the idea again...
Author's Response: Completely. -K |
