Reviews For Emerald Eyes
Another great chapter hon! Tracy
Regarding the Draco scene--- I saw you mention on a previous review that you wanted to show contrast between how Snape deals with a Slytherin as compared to Harry, and I thought the whole set-up was really well done. It didn't seem out of place at all, but I feel like it added another dimension to the development of your Snape. I enjoyed the banter between Harry and Snape, too. I can just imagine how irritated and bewildered Snape must have felt at Harry's sudden surge of boldness. And it seems to be a popular opinion that the "Alas, a button." line was so very Dumbledore. It made me laugh out loud when I read it. There was just something really clever about it. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but it was a nice touch. I loved Harry's feeling of broken trust, and I hope that Snape can regain what credit Harry had attributed to him. Poor Harry. I'm enjoying watching his feelings about Snape change, and his confusion about these changes. The same goes for Snape and his attitude towards Harry. There are a lot of interesting parallels in this story that really add depth to your plot. So I will wait very patiently for the next chapter, wondering all the while about how the talk with Snape will go for Harry, and what exactly is shared during Dumbledore and Snape's secret conversation... But for now I'm off to re-read Chapter 17 again. x) Author's Response: Katie, Thank you for such a wonderful review :) The scene with Malfoy was something that I wasn't sure if I wanted to include or not...and that's mainly the reason why I asked readers for their opinion. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I did keep it in Snape's perspective, because I wanted to show his frustration in trying to cultivate someone who is too far gone in his own pampered lifestyle to be affected by it. As for Harry and his cheekiness, he is, first and foremost, still Harry Potter, and he often has a difficult time controlling what he says. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and for Snape, that is just unacceptable. I suppose Snape has something to learn in this case, rather than Harry ;) The Dumbledore line was just something that came to me as I was writing...lol. I'm glad it made you smile :) I quite enjoy a slightly wacky Dumbledore rather than an always all-knowing, serene Dumbledore. I suppose he's a bit of both... But regardless, he's fun to write. I think it would take a lot for Harry to completely trust Snape. After all, the man acted like he hated Harry the previous year. However, Harry is starved for attention and can't help but cling to the small bit of consistency and support that Snape has offered him, even if he doesn't realize he's doing it. The next chapter will be crucial in their mentoring relationship. Yay for re-reading :) That makes me very happy. I'm so thrilled that you're enjoying this story. Your reviews are wonderful and encouraging. Thank you :)
Harry seems to be getting more comfortable with our dour potions master. He's defending himself more and getting more out of the telling offs I think. I can easily tell you in two words what I liked best in this chapter. Harry/Snape ;) There isn't one thing I can chose or even two. I liked it all, even the appearance of the meddlesome old coot. Poor Harry only moments before reminded to mind his temper just to lose it that quickly. I'm very eager to read more. Author's Response: I love Harry/Snape far, far more too. lol. Draco...meh....not a fan. But you're definitely right about tying up the loose ends. I know that the punishment was implied; however, that wasn't what I wanted to focus on. I wanted to compare the way Severus deals with Harry vs. another Slytherin. The opening scene was from his perspective as well, which is always good in giving insight ;) Yes, Harry is getting a bit more comfortable around Snape and that is mainly why he lashed out so easily...which may seem counterproductive in their mentoring relationship; however, Snape was slightly in the wrong here, or at least didn't explain himself well enough. He just expects Harry to obey without quetsion. Hopefully the next chapter smooths things over a bit :) Thank you for the fabulous review!
Author's Response: I just love Harry. He IS cute, isn't he? And I suppose I could lie and say I feel sorry for Draco, but I don't. Oh well. lol. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks! I believe it should be interesting...I hope ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked this chapter ;) I'll try and update this story as soon as possible!
Author's Response: LOL. That was a fun scene to write. ;)
ahem... now that thats over onto the actual reveiw! reat chapter! Loved the malfoy scene ;) oh and I loved the part where harry says " You pulled my trousers down" out of nowhere xD and damn it...I wanna punch snape right now -.- oh and I love your other story too =D just never got time to reveiw on it. Author's Response: LOL. I'm happy you liked this chapter! And my other story as well... I kind of consider that a story I write to wind down from the challenge of writing this one. Harry's randomness makes me smile as well. I felt that the trousers thing would be something that would definitely bother Harry. Anyway, thanks very much for the review! |
