Reviews For Lily's Charm
Hope they can resolve this newest rift.
Author's Response: Thanks!
The whole problem with the 'fight', as I see it and I may be wrong--you can let me know, is that their relationship is still much too fragile to withstand it, especially after all those years of real hostility between them. Harry just isn't secure enough with Severus to be able to keep from reverting. In his mind, he may know that it's supposed to be a show, but in his heart, I think it's hard to forget all the past cruelties and for him to not be hurt. Anyway, I loved Harry and Ginny, too, and I'm worried about where Harry has gotten to. I personally think Severus owes Harry an apology and he needs to make his true feelings plain. But, knowing Severus, that may be asking too much still. Guess we'll see, hmm? Looking forward to more! Author's Response: Wow, you're practically stealing lines from Chapter 20! LOL You've hit the nail on the head here. That's exactly the problem and you're right as well that Severus was completely dense to believe a faux fight was a good idea. I think though that he didn't want to go with Remus' idea simply becase it was Remus' idea. I'm still chuckling how 'right on' you are about Harry's fragile heart. :o) Severus does owe Harry an apology for sure...we'll see what he's able to deliver...you're right again though...something needs to give here before Harry completely loses it.
Well, I really want to give Harry a big hug and maybe a mug of hot chocolate too. There's just so much going on in his life now. *sigh* Poor kid. Ok, but I'm really confused now, did Severus want Harry to Captain the Quidditch team or not? I can't quite remember what conversation went on with Remus that made Harry decide to do it, but I suppose I could reread...that's next. And Remus, that werewolf is just so cool, and I love that both he and Severus are fighting over Harry's affection, but come on! When are they going to see that what they're doing is detrimental to Harry? If they could just come to some kind of truse so that Harry could go to both of them while he and Severus are still working on the relationsip...it would be better all around. *sigh once again* And Ginny! I was soo happy to see her in this one! Especially the snogging...I was laughing soooo hard, you have no idea! And I loved the scene in the Great Hall, so characteristic of Ginny to tell off Ron and Hermione and storm out to look for Harry. And Severus! I especially enjoyed his reaction and revelation in the Great Hall too...he's so parental! But, I am a little dissapointed in him, how did he think that arguing in Potions was a good idea? Sometimes, that man! I suppose it would have worked, could have worked... But I do really like how both Harry and Sev are deeply wounded by the things that were said. In other fics that I've read, Harry plays along with the verbal sparring and both parties walk away unscathed. But, needing to have them patch things over during detention is more Sev's style. And I, along with all of your other readers wonder where Harry has gone!! Hopefully he's not going to do anything stupid and rash, but then again, he wouldn't really be Harry. It would suck if he was captured by Death Eaters...hmmm...*thinks of possibilities* Well, Happy New Year and Happy Belated Birthday to Voldie! Good luck with the next chapter, until then! Author's Response: Yeah, I know...cliffhangers here are not really so bad. Oh well. Maybe I should just wait a couple of extra days to torture you all a bit more! LOL Last chapter, McGonagall appointed Harry Quidditch Captain; he was reluctant to do it and Remus pointed out to him that he was going to play anyway so he might as well just accept. Severus, on the other hand thought that Harry was stretching himself too thinly as he has so much else to do this term. Harry asked his advice and he told Harry to make his own choice, even though he obviously wanted to tell Harry not to take on the Captaincy or perhaps not to play Quidditch at all. So, even though Severus was not pleased with Harry's decison, he wants him to know that it was his decision and he is not angry about the choice. See? :o) As I said in a previous review response, I love the contrast between the Sev and Remus and Remus, now that he's ackowledged his feelings, will 'try' not to let his feelings affect Harry. Emphasis on the 'try' though because obviously he cares about Harry a lot and he can't really just let Severus yank Harry about like a rag doll, so we'll see how Remus handles things, won't we? LOL If you liked Ginny here, you'll love next chapter. Ginny abounds! Sev is very parental, but mostly in the comfort of his own thoughts. If only the man could put himself at risk a little more so Harry could really see that part of Snape. But, next chapter, some hefty feelings are gonna be put out there so Severus really is not going to have much of a chance against Harry! LOL See, Sev doesn't really understand how Harry could have been so strongly affected by Sev's jibes. Harry was after all, supposed to have known that he was going to try to push Harry to give him a detention. He didn't realize Harry's comments would be able to hurt him. Neither of them was prepared for what happened, really. I'm glad you liked the sparring and the hurt that came from it. I just really don't think it could have worked out differently, with both of them still so raw. You'll just have to wait and see where Harry went! But, since Ginny and Sev both went after him, there's bound to be lots of trouble come next chapter. LOL LOL about your possibilities! Thanks for the review.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I basically just have no life from 7pm and onwards as my kids are in bed and my husband is in medical school, at the hospital all hours of the night! LOL Writing is my only hobby right now...or should I say, obsession. :o) Glad you liked the Severus/Harry battle in potions. That was fun and yeah, Harry's annoyance with what Snape could be up to was especially fun. Glad you like the way Severus is written here. I love Sev. He's just too fun. Thanks for the review!
Severus and Remus playing tug-of-war over Harry - poor Harry! They each being jealous of each other's relationship with Harry isn't going to be easy on that poor kid. But deliciously fun to read all the same. The mystery continues over Lily's charm. Hmmm.... I just KNEW that asking Harry to antagonize Severus was a horribly bad idea; their emotions with each other or just too raw at this point. Remus, of course, had the sensible solution in Harry feigning illness but heaven forbid Severus agree to one of the werewolf's ideas. And where did Harry go, anyway? Evil, evil cliffie! I can officially start some fanart with my new Christmas present (which wasn't working with my computer until today). Santa brought me a really cool Wacom graphics tablet, and I'm just itching to start some art on it. There's just the cutest picture of Severus and baby Harry in my head that I just think needs to come out if I can pull it off. Welcome back from your holiday vacation! Author's Response: Okay, well now you have me officially anxious over here! I can't wait to see some fanart. I'm so excited! And Severus and baby Harry...yippeeee! I know what you mean...I've only been able to write little bits at a time and it was driving me insane too. Unlike now, where I've already gotten almost 3 pages done of Chapter 20. This promises to be another 'meaty' one! Tug of war! LOL Well, Remus will *try* to keep his feelings in check now that he went and upset Harry over his jealousy, unlike Severus whose own fierce possessiveness won't be letting up anytime soon. Emphasis on the *try* though because I doubt very much that old Remus was oblivious to the scene in the Great Hall. Hee hee. Lily's Charm does continue to mystify all of us. But, now we do know a rather important (maybe) detail about it. If Harry could find the courage to just ask Severus about it! All in good time. :o) Of course atagonizing Severus was a terrible idea and Harry really had no plans to go along with it. Ron's blowing up a cauldron idea would have been much safer! I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself. Cliffhangers are just FUN! But, we do have both Ginny and Severus storming out of the Great Hall, so at least you know something interesting is going to be happening. Next chapter up in the next few days as we're going back to the old schedule! YAY! |
