Reviews For Lily's Charm
The part where Harry hugged Dumbledore, and knew to thank him for the documents, was so sweet and beautiful. I loved it. Now I'm very, very worried about what's going to happen next...so I'm off to read some more! Author's Response: I love writing Harry as being normal (well as normal as possible...LOL). Harry forgives Dumbles. YAY
Author's Response: Thanks. I appreciate the review and glad you enjoyed it. The humour was fun and much needed to break the horrible tension these guys are going through. They're all libel to crack at any moment. :oP
Sorry that I did not review for so long, but I kept on reading. I had to! I've been so busy with work in the last weeks that I could only read fics at the strangest times of the day (or of the night). I am so eager to read more of this story, really. It's all in the way you portrait your characters. Severus is so... Severus, but still a loving father and Harry is swinging between adulthood and infancy. It's tender and hard at the same time. Thanks again for this awesome story. Author's Response: Thank you so much, Tsuby! Really. I really am flattered. I have so much fun with the characters. It makes me smile that you see Severus still as being Severus and yet he clearly loves Harry and is even loving toward him. Harry is doing a fairly hysterical dance between becoming an adult and clinging on to childhood. Perfectly teenagery. LOL I love him that way. Thanks so much for your words. They mean a lot. :o)
I'm wondering if Albus' little sticking charm is going to work for very long. They were together for less than 5 minutes and already Severus has "unstuck" them. Remember Albus warned that too many unsticking incidences would not be advisable? I hope Harry manages to obey orders, but I'm not sure he'll be able to. Author's Response: Sticking Charms are really not meant to be messed with. *smile* You'll have to wait to see what ole Harry can manage to do. Poor kid.
THIS IS EVIL, PURE, DARK EVIL!!!!! Again GRET JOB!!!!! PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!! Author's Response: Yes, evil is my name. First, middle and last. :o)
Author's Response: Really fast? Hmmm.... I will do my best. And yes, I know I am evil. I enjoy it, in fact.
("sent to room for cheekiness" - is cheekiness a word?) Author's Response: I don't think so but Harry apparently doesn't realize it! ROFL And yes, I do enjoy my evil ways. Yep, I do. :oP
“This is not an adventure,” Severus interceded automatically, his blue eyes narrowed. You see, I disagree with Severus. It IS an adventure, at least so far (or I thought so until the last paragraph). Around our house, we define an "adventure" as an exciting set of events one can be expected to live through. When the outcome is not so certain, it turns into an "ordeal." We'll have to wait until the beginning of the next chapter to find out if OE crossed the line. Evil cliffie.... I was really looking forward to this chapter. So many new variables to explore! So far, our guys' interactions with each other and the world have been confined to the walls of Hogwarts, Grimmauld Place and the safehouse. How will they handle outside pressures and dangers outside those walls from unknown forces? When they have to completely rely on each other in this still rather new relationship, will their bond stand the test? Depending on adults to get him through dire circumstances is still completely new to Harry, and I don't trust his reponses yet. I can't wait to see... I immediately loved Sev being such a "dad" when he warmed up Harry. He is so in tune with what Harry's current state is, he usually knows what that is before Harry does! Love it, love it. And their easy banter (including Harry's cheekiness) was fun, and natural so completely in character. Like so many other reviewers, I have to agree wholeheartedly on how brilliantly you write their dialogue. It's almost like I "know" them personally...you've so brought them to life on paper. Wow...Severus gave Lupin (gasp) a compliment? Whoa. I am so glad Severus isn't angry and can see WHY Remus went to Albus and is grateful for it. Closer and closer to buddyhood. They just might go take in a baseball game (oh, soccer in Britain) if Voldy doesn't kill them or something sometime soon. STICKING CHARM? Oh, that a riot. And Harry whining about being drug along like a sodding puppy. ROTFLMAO. I wouldn't like it any better, granted. But I had visions of them stuck together like siamese twins. It's a funny image. And Severus knew about the toilet. Oh gosh, I surely needed a good giggle in the mist of the building tension. I'd be lying if I said I'm not worried about our boys. (bites nails) Harry's fainting worries me too. We don't know why he did exactly, but could this happen again at some terribly inopportune time? I shudder to think. The Dumbledore/Harry hug - sigh. That moment brought a tear to my eye much like it did Albus. It was SO Harry, even after their little talk a few minutes earlier. I know we have a character death coming soon. I hope it's not him. :-( OK...our three cohorts in crime (as I'm now referring to polyjuiced Sev, Harry and Remus even though Remus thinks they are "three pretentious lads on holiday", I like mine better) crack me up to no end. Their banter is a riot. Harry calling himself a "bloody wanker." Hee, hee hee. You can just see and hear the teasing going on between Remus and Harry and Sev trying SO hard to stay serious (but he was smiling inside). So were we! Tonks likes apparating? Why am I NOT surprised. My blood pressure started rising as they entered the house. The tension was definitely mounting! I was surprised to see Bill show up (is he our expendible ensign? OE will get the reference.) Harry completely creeped me out, knowing what happened in that room involving Voldy. Sev couldn't help but notice, as did we, how compliant Harry was being in all situations. Can he keep it up? We're about to see next chapter, as he was forced behind the curtain. I want Harry to stay behind the curtain, I think he probably will, but Harry IS Harry and I can never be sure. Harry, your dad will kill you if you don't. Ack! What happens now?? You are evil, my dear OE, for leaving me biting my nails to the quick! For once, I don't have a hug for anybody. I'll save it and give a double hug to whoever needs it in then next chapter. I have a really awful feeling somebody's going to *really* need it. (Gulp!) Author's Response: Expected to live through? We'll see. LOL You sound like a movie announcemer: "Will their bond stand the test?" ROFL I don't know but I guess we'll just see, won't we now? Sev is pretty well tuned in, isn't he? I love him that way as well. Their banter is one of my favorite parts to write, especially a cheek Harry. He amuses me. LOL And wow, that is quite the compliment. "It's like you know them." I feel that way as well. Yep, Severus gave Remus a compliment. *gasp* What is this world coming to? Um, baseball? ROFL. I don't think you're gonna get Severus to admit to any such thing as friendship with the man. I'm glad you like the Sticking Charm. Hee hee. Let's see if it actually works for longer than 5 minutes. I won't even go into the fainting again. Dumbles is all forgiven...well, understood a bit better anyway. Sev was smiling inside... LOL I love that man. Oh goody. You were meant to creeped out. *waggles eyebrows* Just why, well you'll have to wait and see about that. No hugs? Wow, things are getting dire indeed. And I bow to your compliments on the state of my evilness. :o)
I was really expecting a lesson in exiting the Floo at the beginning there...but I guess it's just that all those kids are clumsy. Actually, did Ginny fall when she left the Floo that last time? Hmm...I don't think so. She's got talent, that girl. Tee hee!! I was dying when Sev was explaining his newly defined relationship with Remus. It was great!...except that it was all because Sev wanted to commit suicide. Ok, so since the locket and the cup are in the Order's possession, I'm guessing that they are going after Gaunt's Ring...but it's in the Riddle house? Ok. More on that later. I really liked the whole exchange that went between Harry, Dumbledore, Remus, and Sev before the "trio" left...it was so sad. It seemed as though this was the actual final battle, that they wouldn't survive a little horcurx hunting. Granted, none of them were doing to good in DH, either...but, I don't know. Perhaps I'm just thinking they were being a little too dramatic with this all......but that could be due to my lack of knowledge on what they're about to do, what the dangers are there...Harry never asked those questions and perhaps he knows the information after a discussion with Sev, but we apparently not privy to that information. I'm a bit peeved, OE. Hmm...this "mind switching" thing is really getting out of hand. Do we get to find out what it really means soon?! Please!? Sticking Charm...too funny, but a good idea...I also liked Harry's "you're not the one being dragged around like a sodding puppy" line too! The Polyjuice was interesting..."I'm a bloody wanker!" And Sev trying to be serious and get Harry's attention while being his height and only a bit older than Harry is a hilarious image!! I could see Tonks enjoying apparation.. So...how does Harry know to look upstairs? And what *is* upstairs? I really hope that Voldie isn't there himself...Oh, is Harry simply remembering the visions he had of Voldemort’s from fourth year that were in the Riddle house...like he *was* upstairs then? and thus that's most likely where whatever it is that they're looking for will be hidden?! Ok, so Remus' "Downstairs" was his exclamation of where the glass was broken? Hmm...and they don't want Harry to get into the middle of a fight so they put him behind a curtain with concealment charms...I have a bad feeling about this, unless the invisible Bill stays there...but still, you've got me feeling uneasy, OE. Ok, yeah, yeah, I know this is short but if I think of anything else and remember what it was once I sit down at my laptop again I'll let you know. This was a great chapter!! And now I've got to go get my laundry. Have a great Wednesday night! Author's Response: Okay, I just first need to tell you.... They are not coming home until Voldemort is dead. Or else they aren't coming home at all. So nope, they are not being dramatic. Harry was saying goodbye to his friends for real and Dumbles as well well because he very well may never see them again. After the Horcruxes are secured, they are going to Voldy. Yep. That was the plan. There is no reason to wait. Why wait for what they know has to happen? LOL Harry could use a lesson in Floo use. ROFL It is really cute that Severus won't admit he is friends with Remus so the best he can say, "Remus is not a wimp" That man has issues! You'll have to wait and see about the Horcrux hunting, except that yes, Harry and Sev know everything and well you guys not so much. *evil laugh* but what fun would it be if you knew the plot? Um, no. You will not find out too soon about the switching thing. Sorry. Glad you liked Harry's indignation and the 'sodding puppy line". Hee hee. I really enjoyed the whole conversation while they were all Polyjuiced. It is sorta funny to think of a blond-haired Sev boy who is scolding Harry. :oP
Yes, Remus was indicating that the shattering glass was from downstairs. And no, if there is a fight with Death Eaters mucking about, Severus really doesn't want Harry in the middle of that. And yes, you are supposed to be uneasy. I'm uneasy! Thanks for the review. Glad you liked the chapter! :o) |
