Reviews For Reading the Signs
Author's Response: I think everyone involved was a little too emotional for their comfort *grin*. As for Severus -- I don't think he was too harsh. I mean, a little harsh, but this is Severus Snape after all. And he had a very strong point to make.
Author's Response: Thank you, I'll do my best :)
Author's Response: Yeah, it's a bit drawn out, but that's probably more my fault than his. I needed to get them both to a point where Harry would "ask" his question and where Snape would answer it, and a bit of an emotional punishment and a fear of something happening to Harry would do that.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it so much! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: I'm glad he said what he did too, though no one really expected it. I'm glad you liked the trip to the burn ward - it seems to be getting mixed reviews ;)
Author's Response: Such a big compliment. Thank you!!
Author's Response: Harry was burning the list of "suspects" that he and Hermione and Ron had put together. He was frustrated because Snape was still listed on it. As for why Snape didn't ask him -- simply because it didn't occur to me to have him do so! Thank for the review.
I love how parental Severus has become, and that he's finally able to acknowledge it, too! Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. Severus did admit it, finally, but I think he shocked himself in doing so.
Author's Response: Heh, I never intend for these chapters to be tearjerkers, they just kind of end up that way.
Severus reacted perfectly in my opinion. I was surprised and more than a little pleased with his "lesson". It was great thinking on his (well, your) part to take Harry to St. Mungo's. I'm pretty sure Harry won't play with incendio again! Severus' punishment was also fitting, as Harry wouldn't know the damaging effects of other spells and it would be quite tedious and impractical to travel to St. Mungo's for each incident that would be bound to occur if he didn't learn now. I absolutly adore fics that can evoke an emotional responce from me (which, considering, isn't really THAT hard) and you've done it again! I just love the dynamic you've created between Harry and Severus, and am only sad that Ron and Hermione don't understand their relationship. Hopefully that will change, when SEVEURS ADOPTS HARRY!! But, I suppose that will come when they're ready, say, at the end of the year so Harry dosen't have to return to the Dursleys...huh? huh? I really hope that you reveal to us what Harry's sign is for Severus, although I have an idea... Also, hopefully we'll get some insight into Snape's mind for what he has planned for the future. I'm excited! Please update as soon as you can! Author's Response: Thank you for such kind words and for such a lovely, detailed review! I thought it was a rather fitting lesson, as kids at that age (and older, really) don't have any real sense of their mortality. Harry learns this lesson rather early compared to other kids, as Voldemort is after him, but at this point in the story he's not aware of that yet, so I thought it would be appropriate. Hermione and Ron do, in their own way, understand where Harry's coming from. As best they can, anyway. They've always had loving parents, though, so they'll never *quite* see it the same way. Plus they aren't there to see soft and mushy!Snape. They don't object to it, they just don't understand. Harry's sign for snape will indeed be revealed (although I think it will be a surprise to no one, lol). As for the future...well, Snape and Harry are both used to survival mode. They haven't quite given themselves the luxury of planning for the future. Yet. |
