Reviews For Better Be Slytherin!
Poor Little Harry!! I hope Snape doesn't pick on him too much, and that he makes Draco and Teddy and his other year-mates are friendly - Zabini needs to be smacked, and so does Ron!! Awesome chapter!!
So THAT'S how Snape gets around the castle so fast, huh? I like it. He really takes his job of Head of House seriously. I must admit, I'd dread having him for a Head over McGonagal, but hey... I guess you'd learn more discipline his way, for sure. I'm just one of those stubborn people hell-bent on not following specific rules unless I know I'll be in deep do-do, in which case I at least pretend to follow them. But it'd be hard to hide from magical evidence. Lol. Poor Harry. Can't wait for the update :D
Author's Response: Hi wynnleaf! The next chapter will definitely be a Snape one. I'm going to try and alternate chapters as much as possible between Harry and Snape, although I had a brief bit at the beginning of ch 3 which was supposed to give a sense of why Snape might not be in the best mind set to be observing much in his subsequent encounter with Harry. But that'll also be addressed more in the next chapter. Thanks for the review!
I really and truly love this story. Oh, and I think you did a really nice job characterizing Blaise and Theodore, considering we don't hear much from them in the actual series. Can't wait for another chapter! Author's Response: Hi Jade, please see my response to Jan (below) for more info on the bruising, which I will definitely be dealing with in the next couple chapters. And thanks for your review! I figured I could utilize Theo and Blaise quite a lot, simply because they aren't mentioned very often in canon, and therefore are unmined territory, as it were. :-)
Snape's "Everywhere at once-ness"? LOL! "He didn't yet have his glasses on, but he would recognize the billowing robes of the Head of Slytherin through a thick fog." GREAT description there, a thick fog, lol. "Then how is it you are in here, when you should still be abed?" Is that supposed to be like that? abed? "Harry pushed open the door and gaped around the room at the bottles and vials and jars of weird, squiggly plants and severed animal parts floating in variously colored liquids. The smell of disinfectant and something . . . earthy hung in the air." Best description of a potions room or office i have ever read. Thanks for the update! I really enjoyed it. So Snape didn't notice any bruises on Harry, or anything? Maybe he was so angry he didn't even look, hated him too much. Poor kid. Author's Response: Hi Jan, thanks for the review! There'll be more reflection (later) on why Snape didn't notice Harry's bruising -- but basically, a combination of being bleary-eyed (from lack of sleep --it's like 4am -- and a bit too much indulgence in the firewhiskey) and being so very, very pissed off at that Dam**d Potter Brat that he couldn't pick out details like that if they were shoved up his nose. Not then, anyway. Glad you liked the descriptions, too. Next chapter will be a couple days, as I'm working on one for Whelp just now . . .
