Reviews For Lily's Charm
Great job! Author's Response: Aren't those trailers great? Wow. Marcie is very talented. :o)
Author's Response: Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It's a favorite of mine. :o)
Author's Response: Nope, no memores of TR for Harry to look at and nope, Dumbledore doesn't have a burnt hand...stay tuned the update will be up later today (well, in US midwestern time).
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm so happy you liked it. And that video...well that bit of genius belongs to siriuslyenthralled. The woman is a wizard (or witch I guess...lol). I cried too. Ahhh...love it.
I was so glad that Harry was able to comfort Sev, especially since he DOES understand what Sev's feeling. It was great to see Sev without any shields too, eventhough the reasons for the lack of shields is less than pleasent. It shows Harry just how much Sev loves and trusts him. *sigh* I like how the dinner conversation went too, it was nice especially since Harry gets to tell his friends what's going on without going against Sev's orders. It's good that Sev understands (I think he understands, at least) how much Harry needs his friends. I love the starter-sentences that Harry used to try and explain himself, each was worse than the last! Good thing Sev didn't take it the wrong way... I hope we get to see some more of this photo album...those were some good pictures! And I sopped breathing once Sev said, "Most sixteen year olds, even Malfoys, do not relish the idea of becoming a murderer.” Then my heart stopped once I read that the photo album fell to the ground, and I only breathed again once Sev stopped mentally shaking me and stopped shaking Harry. Woah. Then Sev saying he would be there with Harry "for all of it" and yet Harry is unable to believe him...that broke my now beating heart... You really covered a lot of heavy topics this chapter...good thing I keep a defibulator on hand for these types of situations. I wonder if there is more danger, in general, to all the students that they're not allowed to go about the castle or grounds alone...hmmm...or is this just some disception to not make Harry stick out so much, being escorted by a teacher or friend places?...but that doesn't really make sense...I don't know!! URGH!! Malfoy...nothing to say about him, except he's a (jerk)*insert appropriate personal favorite swear word here...perhaps broom head! Why doesn't he realize that Harry's trying to help him out!?...Because he's too wrapped up in his own little world...Malfoy-Land... Oh, and he's a wuss.. It was hard to see both Harry and Sev hurt by their current predicament too, needing to be nasty to each other in Potions. When is that going to change? Probably after Harry faces Voldie, right? Or after Sev is found out to be spy...really not good situations, so...I guess I can handle some agnst in Potions for a while longer. Remus...and Tonks!!! *smiles from ear to ear, literally* I love them to death! It was good of Remus to show Harry just how much he ment to Sev, too. Remus is good at giving those ever helpful nudges in the right direction. It's nice that Harry now fully understands just how comitted Sev is to him. I had to recharge the defibulator after Harry's justified outburst about living at the Dursley's. But at "I will not send you back to that house," I was ok again...until the next few lines. I seriously was almost screaming at my laptop, "Harry! Just believe him! He's been telling the truth from the begining!!" Because it is a tad frustrating how thick Harry can be sometimes...but he's perfectly in character!!, so don't change him! So, after this delicious chapter...I am more in love with your Sev and Harry than I ever thought possible! I'm so glad they're working hard and are finally able to understand each oter better and can only hope that Harry puts up some Occlumency shields during the day so we can avoid another confrontation. Good luck with the next chapter! I'm really looking forward to what you've got in store for our two favorite guys! Author's Response: Severus does already love Harry. And yeah, that whole accepts of Harry's words really did show that. Severus doesn't completely understand, though he did see that James would not betray his family and that helps here a bit. But more important that understanding, he recognizes that it is important to Harry and as Severus has already done the 'unthinkable' by helping the werewolf, how could he deny his son anything, ever again. That's really (although I'm sure I keep repeating myself) what this story is about. Severus' atonement and him being the one to bring Harry to him, instead of the other way around. I kinda see him as taking over Lily's role toward him in the past. Severus is so disinclined to emotion and and maybe even to love, so Lily had to be the one, constantly guiding him and from her example, now that Severus has a reason again, he is doing the same for Harry. He's the rock, while Harry finds his footing, I guess. Oh and yeah, we'll definitely see more of those photos. How can I deny my Harry and Sev too, the trip back to happy memories? Well, Harry didn't believe him then but he does now...I think he can finally start believing. LOL you're so funny with your defibulator. :oP Hmm...the no alone-ness rule was definitely not ordered by Dumbledore, but that's all I'll say about that! LOL Malfoy is the meanest, isn't he? I love him though. Yeah, stopping the charade will have to involve something pretty big so for now, they should take what they can get! Glad you loved Remus and Tonks. I do too. I have plans for those two! Remus is pretty helpful, isn't he? Severus really owes that man a lot. :o) Screaming at your laptop! LOL I was too, actually. That boy was giving me some angst, not just playing along. Ah well, at least now he's got a clue. And don't worry...this Harry ain't changing at all. I love him too much, thickness and all. I am in love with these boys too. Which reminds me...I have a great title for my sequel... LOL And, don't worry, Harry will work on those shields.
It really was wonderful how Harry was able to comfort his father and hopefully assuage his grief and guilt. It does show Harry's maturity, and how close they've already become. I was so glad that Harry talked with Severus about how he needs to be able to be open with his friends, and how they can be trusted. Severus has to see that, much as he might regret it now, that Ron and Hermione, and Ginny to a degree, have been Harry's family for years now. He shouldn't try to diminish that...and I think he does realise it now. So that's all good. It was nice to see Harry spending some time with Remus and Tonks. One thing I really like about your story, and I don't know if you wrote it this way deliberately or not, but at the beginning, Severus was very jealous of Remus. And maybe Remus was too, a little bit. Severus and Remus exchanged words a couple of times over Harry, but when Remus was hurt, Severus did everything possible to both help heal Remus, and help and comfort Harry. It was because he was supportive and understanding of Harry's love for Remus that he and Harry became much closer themselves. If Severus had tried to pull Harry away from Remus, I think it would have really hurt their relationship. A perfect example of how real love is selfless, but also how it works when nothing else will. Oh, well, I loved the chapter, and am eagerly looking forward to the next! Author's Response: Thank you! They have become pretty close, if only Harry could take a couple more step, they'd be there as really, Severus is just waiting for him to cross that line. And, he's not going anywhere. :oP Severus did take what Harry said to heart, very very seriously though Harry doesn't realize it yet, even thouh Sev did tacitly agree. There was a clue in there for you guys, though. LOL I love how you describe how Harry and Severus' relationship evolved and yep, it was planned that way. Severus really was struggling even until that last second with how much Harry cares about Remus, but as soon as he realized (while Harry was in his arms, I think) that Harry was his, either way, he was going to do whatever it took to help his son, no matter what that entailed. Anything less and you're right...their relationship would be very damaged. Thanks so much for your awesome words. Glad you enjoyed the story! |
