Reviews For Lily's Charm
Author's Response: Thanks! I enjoyed that bit about Harry recognizing the scent of cloves.
Scorpia Author's Response: Really? You like Ginny more? *does a happy dance* I love that! Yay. I love Ginny but never felt there was really a great reason for Harry to care about her so much, all of a sudden, you know. So yeah, in this Ginny is one of the people that will be beside him through everything and it helps. Yay! Yeah...old Snape has surprised Harry again. And perhaps in a good way this time. :oP
I'm going to have to print this so I can have a hard copy. Author's Response: Wow. Just wow. Tha's my first hard-copy printing. I'm so glad you liked it so much. Wow. :o)
Dumbledore is a manipulative old coot, isn't he? I have a feeling that he knows more about this situation than he's letting on. Snape and Harry won't be too happy if this is true. Snape is an idiot for expecting Harry to pick up on all the nuances of the situation. Harry is sometimes completely oblivious to the obvious, so expecting him to realize that Snape wasn't trying to reject him is too much. He needs things put to him in a more obvious way ususally. That's why Hermione comes in handy so often. And how sweet to think that Snape was the one sitting at Harry's bedside after the Quidditch accident. Harry actually caught on quick to that one. I really can't wait for more Snape/ Harry interaction with a little bit of Remus thrown in as well. Thanks so much for the update. It was a great chapter... Author's Response: Thanks! I actually chose the whole smell of Snape thing because scent can be such a powerful thing and certain smells can bring back memories in a sharper way. So, yeah that made it much easier for Harry to get a clue! :) Yeah, Harry is a bit dense sometimes, isn't he? Snape does need to be a bit more direct so I think you'll be happy with the next chapter as well. I'm glad you like Remus here so much. I love Remus and really can't get enough of him. Don't worry, he'll be around a lot more. The next chapter should be up soon. Enjoy and thanks so much for taking the time to review. :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing. :)
I must say that I thouroughly enjoyed all the agnst that occured here too, and it was quite the emotional rollar coaster! Hopefully, with the help of Hermione and Ginny (where would guys be without us girls?) Harry'll realize that he needs to talk to Severus, hopefully before their next potions class. I'm guessing that he will, however, since he knows that it was Severus who stayed with him in the Hospital Wing. I really love how both those guys are so confused about what they want and expect from the other. It's truly heart wrenching to know that they both need someone but are convinced that the other can't and won't love them. I'm really glad that Severus realized that Harry's still the little boy that he spent so much time with and loved so deeply (I jumped up and down for awhile, clapping my hands together like a maniac, and am still a bit giddy!) hopefully he will be able to share some of those memories with Harry once they finally realize that the other wants to make a family. I liked Remus' part in this whole ordeal and anxiously await his return. It was really smart to have Snape and Remus confront each other that way and then to have Severus show his 'weekness.' It was beautifully done and hopefully Remus can and will continue to be there for Harry until he gets this whole thing with Severus straightened out. Dumbledore is a liar...I think. There's no way that he would have not known about Eileen!! ARGH! He's so frustrating, and WAY too cheerful. (Although in character, I think I would have punched him in his previously broken nose if I were Harry after Remus came through the floo.) Oh well, he knows what's best I guess and I have full confidence in you knowing what you're doing. About Severus in the Hospital Wing...I can't wait to hear his thoughts!! Yay angst!! I hope you enjoy your week and have fun writing it! You truly are great at it! Until next chapter... Author's Response: Thank you so very, very much. And, yay, for another long review. I just love 'em! I'm glad you're an angst fun as well! It's just too much fun not to write angsty. And, I agree...guys would be lost without us! :) Aren't Ginny and Hermione wonderful? Hmm...you'll have to wait and see what Harry is going to do now with this newest revelation. There's still gonna be a whole lot of confusion and angst though, I can guarantee you that. I'm so happy that you like the way both Sev and Harry are reacting to everything that is happening. And, of course, it made me giddy to hear how giddy you were about Sev realizing Harry was really his boy. Remus will be around lots more throughout the story. I can't resist a protective Remus. Dumbledore is a mystery, it's true. We'll revisit him later though so never fear. He's got lots to do in the meantime though. :) The next chapter will be up in a few days. Enjoy.
Where oh where to begin? There are SO many juicy, gut-wretching, angsty bits in here - just the kind of writing I adore! Let's see.... I don't know whether my heart is breaking more for Severus or Harry. Severus sitting and reeling from the realization that the baby he loved is the teenager he loathes was incredible. It was as if I was seeing inside his heart, it was so well written. And Harry misjudging Severus' actions and reactions and taking them to be rejection, poor kid. I just need to hug them both now. I knew immediately that Severus was using the potion for the reason he later revealed, but it was easy to see why Harry thought he was using it to deny their blood connection. It's going to take a long time for these two to stop misinterpreting each other's every move. I'm with Harry; I don't believe Dumbledore for a minute. LOVED the protective Remus. And how he reassured Harry that James loved him. Thank you Ginny and Hermione! I'm glad they could put some things in perspective for Harry immediately afterwards. I'm sure we're going to hear (and feel) Severus' angst over Harry's accident in the next chapter. That should be some delicious writing by you and it's anxiously awaited. Oh, and before I forget - as much as I would have also loved a big ol' AK of Severus' mother, I loved your curse equally as well. ;-) Can I send you a crate of virtual chocolate frogs for this spectacular chapter? You're being amazing at updating with such speed AND keeping the quality of the writing high, which is truly appreciated because I HATE waiting for new chapters of my favorite stories. Thanks! Author's Response: Okay, I just have to say, you are the awesomest! (sorry...I know that's not a word). I love your reviews because they are so long and then I get to think more about the story and babble on about it. My husband does get a bit tired of hearing about it. :oP These past few chapters have been so very emotionally draining. They are actually ver hard to write, they make me so sad. But, I love angst, so I'll just have to bear the pain I guess. :) I couldn't decide either who I felt more sorry for. Severus does have much to deal with, doesn't he. He wants so much to have his little son back, but that's not even possible and so he has to figure out how to deal with what can be...if he'll let it. Unfortunately, he's decided very stupidly that he won't even try to salvage the relationship. The man is just so emotionally handicapped, it's irritating! And Harry, of course has so much emotional baggage as well. He's been rejected or left by everyone who should have or did love him. How can he help but feel like Snape could never care about him, especially given their history? Good thing Ginny and Hermione are there, you're right about that. I just loved that scene where the two of them were attempting to be delicate but wanting Harry to get a clue, already! I love protective Remus too and of course it makes some nice tension between he and Severus, as will be illustrated more in the next chapter (which, you're right again...Sev will be in full angst mode in the hospital wing). I'm glad you liked Sev's curse for his mother. I thought for sure though the man was going to AK her, but well, the man has a mind of his own. :) Next chapter should be up in a few days again. Thanks so much for reviewing! |
