Reviews For Harry Potter and the Potions Professor
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm happy you're enjoying it!
Loved the awkwardness that Severus expresses when he talks to Harry about letting him use his first name. It was so realistic and semi-uncharacteristic of Severus, but it works here! I think that's only because Severus and Harry have really become close so it was perfect to have Severus show some of his insequrities. Also loved the mirror escapade, it was done really well and I loved how Harry reacted and pretended to act like everything was fine-so typical, not letting anyone help him. Severus also handled the situation admirably. Good job! I was really worried when Harry and Severus were talking about the new Defence Professor...thinking that it was Severus and Slughorn was the new Potions Professor, meaning that the events of your fic would have to follow more closely to cannon. BUT, needless to say, I didn't have to worry! Because you're original and brilliant, and I love the way you've incorporated Slughorn into the story. Awesome job! I really can't wait until Harry gets back into classes, to see how the Slytherins react to him and his Potions Professor...how are things going for Severus with his betrayl in the open and lots of death-eaters-in-training with him in class and the dungeons? Well, I hope they're not being too Slytherin and am excited to see how Severus treats Harry in class as well. Well, good luck writing, you're doing a great job!! Author's Response: Hi pkrosche! Thank you for the extra long review! I'm glad you didn't give up on the story. I'm glad you approve of Severus' uneasiness when he asked Harry to call him by his first name. I decided that while Severus is normally very cool and collected, he might be nervous about letting someone become close to him, it's been so long since he's really tried to become friends with anyone, and personal relationships aren't really his strong point. So I could see him wanting very much to reach this milestone with Harry, but not knowing exactly how to bring the subject up and feeling awkward about it. I'm glad you like Slughorn being DADA instructor, well, substitute and assistant, rather than the Potions teacher. I thought it would be kind of funny to have the story be "HP and the Potions Professor" if I then went ahead and had Severus be the Defense teacher instead. As for similarities with HBP, some things will be the same, but many others will be different, too, of course. Harry will probably be going back to class in another chapter or two. And that's another reason I needed Severus to still be in Potions---there are a couple of scenes I want to write between him and Harry in Potions class. Don't worry too much about Sev and the Slytherins---he's quite good at looking ahead and anticipating difficulties. Thanks again, I'm happy you liked it!
Author's Response: Thank you! And yeah, ever since I read about Sluggie dueling Voldemort in DH, I've thought that he must be good so he'd make a decent DADA professor. It got tricky for a while cause I knew I wanted Dumbledore to be the real instructor, but I needed Slughorn at Hogwarts, too. I finally realized that with being headmaster, and leading the war against Voldie, Dumbledore was going to have an awful lot on his plate, and voila---the idea of Slughorn being his assistant and substitute instructor came to me. And Dumbledore's hand is injured here too.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you do!
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, 'my' Severus has a heart, anyway, but I admit I'm making him more likable than I found him in canon. As for Dumbledore and Snape, that's one of the things that will be different from HBP. And Harry's arms will be healed soon, when those special Healing salves are ready, so he won't have to worry about bleeding all through the story--I'm getting tired of writing about poor Harry's bleeding arms, to be honest, lol.
Author's Response: Thank you, Teddy! That's a huge compliment! It means a lot to me. I know what you mean about fanfiction, though--one of the few advantages of written books is that you can read the whole story at one go. On the other hand, finding a good fanfic site is like finding a library with thousands of books all about your favorite characters--it's hard to beat!
:D I liked the chapter! i Hope dumbledore will be okay. Im glad severus cares for harry =) Now we just need him to get kidnapped and severus rescue him or something lol! Author's Response: Hey, thanks, Azalea! Glad you liked it! And I'll try to work in another rescue or two before the story's over, but no telling who will rescue who this time!
Author's Response: Thanks for the the review! Glad you liked it! |
