Reviews For O Mine Enemy
I liked the Dumbledore-Harry vs. Harry-Snape dynamic during the conversation about the Dursleys. How Harry is slowly recognizing that even though Snape is unpleasant, he can trust him. Maybe even more than Dumbledore, about certain things. Snape's reaction to the cupboard revelation was also done well - understated, but you can feel the impact it had on him. Dumbledore was also well-written. You balance out the fact that he wants to win the war and in one sense must see Harry as a weapon or as a soldier with a role to play; on the other hand, you can feel that he'd rather not, and you see how sad it seems to make him when he upsets Harry and makes these incredible demands of him. I can buy into this Dumbledore - he's manipulative and he thinks strategy, but he doesn't seem to relish doing so. The war is taking a toll on him. And then, those prophetic words at the end. Will Harry tell Snape and Dumbledore what they mean? Will he ask Dumbledore about the second prophecy? (assuming he remembers what the 'other Harry' said about it). I'm guessing this will be the first thing the next chapter deals with, because they're bound to ask why he dropped his glass, and he needs to convince them that he can't block these dreams, which might actually relate the future. The sugar plum, how you inserted it, really was a big shock. I'd sort of forgotten about those words myself, kind of like Harry, and now it all clicked. I really hope you post soon again. Yours is one of the few stories I'd like to see regularly updated. Author's Response: Hello! I'm a little slow on responding to reviews this week - forgive me! :) Thank you for telling me how much you liked it - especially the thoughts about Dumbledore. I very much agree with your analysis of his conflicts of strategy vs. caring. I feel for him, I really do. The next chapter will be up soon, as will the answers to your questions! Please keep reading! :)
OMG I LOVE YOU!!! Yes, an update!!! I've been waiting for a new chapter for ages! Thank you! ^___^ Your story just keeps getting better and better! Poor Harry. *hugs him* (When are Snape and Harry gonna cuddle again? Odd question, I know, but it's just that whenever they mention the poor boy's nightmares and awful treatment from the Dursleys, I so wish for someone to give him a hug!) Oh, and Harry's dreams are getting more and more interesting! (I can't believe you ended the chapter on a cliffie like that! Gaaargh! But I guess it's good in the way it makes me want to read more...) I can't wait to see how things develop, especially now that Harry seems to be clairvoyant! Anyway, great chapter to a great story - please update soon!!! Author's Response: I love you too!!! hehe :) Maybe stories ought to come with a cuddle guarantee so you know before you start a story what you're getting yourself into. ;) Can't guarantee when or how much development you'll see right away, but I'll go so far as to promise a few *awww* moments before you're through with this fic.
Author's Response: Yes, they are mean. *hangs head in shame* Thank you for the nice review! I love to hear when you think I'm doing something right! ;)
It`s so, that I´ve to review to tell you. Lynx_lw Author's Response: Oh, thank you! You made me so happy with that amazing compliment!
That is just GREAT ! And chocolate is great too ;-) Author's Response: Sorry, I couldn't resist. :) It struck me as the best way to end the chapter. I'm glad to have hooked people to read the next one, though! hehe - part of my evil plan! Thanks for reviewing!
*PANTS* Okay. That was hot. The highlight of the chapter was, for me, definitely the bit where Harry thought Snape looked, "not normal for Snape, but like a teacher who'd just found out his student had been raised in a cupboard." FOR GOD'S SAKE SEVERUS JUST HUG THE BOY ALREADY. And I adore the anticipation of future suffering! Oh the angst! Oh the potential for cuddles! Are we ever gonna get cuddles out of this story, woman? Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for the review! I love fellow author reviews! I'm glad you liked that bit and still had the urge to yell at Snape. ;) Cuddles? :) I love cuddles, I do. But I have to feel like they're ready for it, and I don't think they're quite ready for it. I'd probably get some hate mail if after all this, I suddenly, start of next chapter, had them both professing their undying devotion to each other...hehe. But I promise I'll keep your request in mind for the opportune moment(s)!
Can't wait for more keep up the good writing. Author's Response: Thank you for the review! Yes, Harry was in a screaming mood - can you blame him? I think I would be too, personally. ;) Re: other prophecy... You won't be waiting too much longer. :)
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked the ending. Next chapter next weekend, most likely. I would write faster if my boss would let me quit and still pay my bills for me...but alas! It is not meant to be... :(
i soo was not expecting that ending! i remembered the line from the dream, vaguely (i, being a very rabid reader, jumped in the chapter without brushing up on the dreams), but...O_o i should be working on my six or so projects (yes, and we've only had ONE week of school!) but you have sufficiently distracted me. feel proud! very proud! here, have some imaginary caramel! anyway, i liked snape's, "Why, Potter. You do dream of me, then? How…touching.” *snickers* i would write more, but i really really need to work on my six projects now. i'm sorry! but, before i leave, let me get this out there...if harry does not tell snape immediately about the whole snitch being true thing, i will yell at him. and if snape does not believe him, the sentiment will be turned to him. cheerios, and toodleoo! wish me luck with the attack of the rampaging paper cuts! Author's Response: :) Yes, the dreams are fresh in my mind because I wrote them, so I had to remember that not everyone else will remember them as well. I hope it wasn't confusing! Oh, I am sooo proud to have distracted you! Yay! My mission is accomplished! Ooh, I'll do my best to spare them both from their yelling, but seeing as how they're both such prideful, stubborn individuals, I can't guarantee you won't EVER want to beat them over the head, understand... Thanks for reviewing again! Oh, and good luck with the attack of the rampaging paper cuts!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it! |
