Reviews For Harry Potter and the Potions Professor
Author's Response: It was, wasn't it? Thanks! And yeah, poor Hermione, but she still has Harry and Ron, at least. And it will be a big relief to her to not have to worry about her parents anymore.
Author's Response: Thank you! Of course Hermione's not going anywhere...or not yet, anway. She's going on a Horcrux camping trip next year, but we have to get through this one first! I wanted both to show that the Grangers were in danger, and to begin having Severus, Ron, and Hermione start building a better relationship, too. Sev is pretty clever, isn't he? As for what's next, well, I could be mean and not tell you...but I will say that Harry is going to let out a lot of his fear and grief and anger.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Of course, I couldn't make Hermione leave, but I wanted to get her parents out of danger...I always worried about them in the books...I'd have thought the Death Eaters would have targeted them for sure.
Author's Response: Thank you! It was a really difficult decision for Hermione, but she had to do what she thought would be best for her parents, and fortunately, she made the right choice.
And-congrats on having your story featured! Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I couldn't split the Trio up now, could I? And yep, the Grangers got out just in time! And I am so thrilled about "Potions Professor" being featured! Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it! I'll try to post the next chapter within a day or two.
Author's Response: Thank you again! I'm really glad you like "Potions Professor"! I have a few quibbles with canon, but for the most part I love JKR's books, and I really wanted to explore what might have happened if Severus and Harry had learned to get along, at some point. I have to say that I truly thought she might be setting up some kind of reconciliation between them when she had Sev teach Harry Occlumency (or attempt to) in the fifth book. So much of Severus' hostility towards Harry is because he confuses Harry with his father. Of course, he knows that they are two separate people, but he's so blinded by his hatred for James that he sees Harry as being a miniature version, with all of James' flaws. I always thought that if Severus could be made to see that he was wrong, that Harry really wasn't spoiled and conceited like Severus assumes, that they might could have a better relationship. I really would have liked to have seen that happen, so I decided to try writing it myself. Well, thanks again, and I hope you'll continue to read and enjoy!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm happy you stumbled over it, too, lol! And yes, I like writing Severus and Dumbledore having a close friendship.
I really like the way you have had the relationship develop between Harry and Severus. You set up the big change in Severus in the very first chapter when you had Dumbledore observing Severus and wondering if anyone else saw the hurt behind the mask - and showing how tender Severus can be with wounded Dumbledore. This keeps Severus from seeming OOC when he opens his heart to Harry - and once he has, becomes fiercely loyal, protective and caring. I love it! Keep the great chapters comin'! Author's Response: Thank you! There'll be more about Hermione's problems in the next chapter or two. I'm so happy you like how Severus and Harry's friendship has developed. I do think that Severus is decent at heart, and that a lot of his problems stem from his own abusive past and the fact that he never really learned to relate well to people. But yes, he is very loyal and commited once he's opened his heart to someone. I will probably try to write one more chapter on my new story "Slave Child", just because it's new and I'd like to get a little more written on it, and then write a couple more chapters on "Potions Professor." I hope to update "Slave Child" by the weekend, and then get back to "Potions Professor" by the first of next week.
