Reviews For Harry Potter and the Potions Professor
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
But the living arrangements working out is so nice for both. And I loved that Severus complimented Harry on the progress of the DA. Really great interaction chapter and it goes without saying (though I will anyway) can't wait for the next! Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it...Harry and Severus are great together now, and Harry did do a wonderful job with the DA...I'm still kind of surprised that Rowling didn't make Harry a Defense professor. I really thought that's what she was foreshadowing in OotP, and I still think that career suits Harry better than an Auror. But oh well,...
Author's Response: Thank you so much! You'll find out what's happening with Hermione in the next chapter!
Finally!! It's the weekend! YAAY! Ok, from the top... I'm glad the new living arrangements are working out just fine, but really didn't expect anything less than that. I'm also glad that Occlumency and Potions are still proving difficult for Harry to master...and that he's exceeding in his other subjects. It was nice of Ron and Hermione to accept Harry's situation and feelings towards Severus, like true friends!! And shame on Ron for continuously bringing up Severus' past treatment of Harry...although it is good to know that it truly is in the past now. Poor Seamus...loosing points for Gryffindor! Good Job Severus staying pleasent with the DA kids...it was a nice chance for them to see how much he has changed and accepted Harry. It is sad that the war has escalated to such an extent, but it's also a good thing that the kids in Hogwarts realize what's going on and are preparing accordingly, even if it is a battle. I really appreciate how in-character you keep Harry. I think his constant berating of himself for the death of Sirius is extremely accurate (at least with my version of Harry). And it's wonderful for Severus and Harry to have those moments after such a horrible dream...*sigh* Harry's half-conscious thoughts about Ron, Hermione, and himelf teaching were wonderful as was Severus' praising Harry on how much the DA learned last year...I blushed with the praise too! Poor Hannah, though. Is her mom's death canon? I can't seem to remember...and why does one-third of goldeness have to leave!? NOOOO!!! HERMIONE!!!! Please update soon! I can't wait to read more and hopefully I'll not miss this one, either! Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like Occlumency and Potions still being Harry's weak spots...I figure first of all, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, that's only realistic. Also, I'm trying to build up to a moment where Severus and Harry will have to confront Severus' past treatment of Harry, and so I needed to show that in some ways, Harry's still affected. It's not that he's consciously resentful or scared, but it's also not a coincidence that Occlumency and Potions are the two things Sev tried to teach him back when the two were enemies. Harry was told over and over again that he was no good at those subjects and he's got a real mental hang-up about them now. Yes, I think Harry will struggle with feelings of guilt over Sirius' death for a long time...it's slowly getting better, compare this nightmare with the first one I wrote when Sirius was telling Harry that it was all his fault. Now Harry just sees it happen, but Sirius isn't blaming him. It's a small step. But the death of a loved one is something that affects a person for the rest of their life. I am so happy for Harry's sake though, that Severus is there for him. That's what will help Harry heal more than anything. I enjoyed writing the little snippet with Harry, Ron, and Hermione being professors. I can't write real humor to save my life, but maybe I can put in a little humorous touch now and then. Maybe the professors dream could be foreshadowing, too... Yeah, Mrs. Abbott's death is canon, it's mentioned at some point in HBP, and all questions about Hermione will be answered in the next chapter or two. Thanks again! *You'll never believe me when I say I'm not going to post anytime soon, after "Slave Child", will you? But I started writing and got carried away!
great chapter! ^^
Severus took a few more deep breaths, and then raised an eyebrow at Harry. "You may when you're thirty-six." hahaha, i laughed out loud when i read that! *grin* Author's Response: Thank you!
for some reason, the first image that popped into my mind was the superhero 'up, up, and away' pose with one hand on the hip, and the other in the air -- "to the Gryffindor Common Room!" x'DD roflhahaha
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked everything! |
