Reviews For Redefining Family
Please keep this story going, it is so intriguing- there are many parallels in modern day politics- alas. Power, not checked by temperate knowledge or empathy. A refusal to see the consequences of unwise behaviour.-- Real life can be worse than fiction. To fellow-readers: This story has been carried on over on fanfiction.net. A new chapter is written. Bravo, pdantzler. Please keep on. Severus still isn't healed or Harry and Draco. And Minerva is asking far too much of a weary Harry. What will happen? My earlier review was a bit too passionate and unchivalrous, well, not polite, for which I am sorry. Many apologies for it. It spoke for my frustration that this thought-provoking, heartfelt story is unfinished. I look forward with anticipation...
This review is also for chap. 6- forgot to log in in my quick joy. Like Sev, pained, in his comfy bed- I cannot let this story go , sit waiting by the laptop. it is such a tale, but, eight years? Need more. Will Harry crack under that full house? Will Nev and Luna blush, kiss, over the pickled mandrakes? Will Ginny snarl and keep on being a rather spoilt hoyden,unchecked? She grew up with a female scold for mother, -all sons live in other countries? hmm..(those rants.) Will Severus overhear it, give her an royal trimming-down to teach her empathy, and not her being universally admired by all men (Scarlett?) - to let Ginny want to win a liiittle of his respect back, and Harry's, because when Harry's head is cleared of desire, he will start looking at her not-lovable character traits. Do I want to live with this? Ginny seems to not to really truly respect her father, the man in the shed, tinkering, not mending stuff, now Judge Grim. Ginny seemed to understand Snape and to acknowledge his inner strength and mastery of many subjects, and Severus is even better with rapier-words than her mother. Shakespeare let the shrew be tassel-gentled and tamed by Petrucchio, because he won the battles in wit against her, and never gave up. earning her respect, loyalty and love. Likewise Ginny. Harry lets her wander over him. not good. Will Harry be more Pater familias, and take charge of the house, or will, Ta, Da! Severus sigh, roll his eyes, and get well enough to be the firm anchor this young, green, battle-scarred crew need to guide them into balanced maturity?? He is wise, under that grouching and has a decent streak and understanding a furlong wide, of life's grimness, wounds and loneliness, and a rare instinct.seeing, sensing the unspoken. Much like his wonderful portrayer, A. Rickman, brilliant, so missed. 'semper, per saecula saeculorum...' Can Harry and Severus defend Draco against Arthur W.;and Neville against Mrs. Victorian Longbottom when she cuts Nev out of the will for taking up with Luna, penniless girl with no dowry and a father of no great standing? Will Kreacher learn kinder manners- on pain of being given socks? and teach Ron to cook 'n' Hermione about elvish lore and world views, dialects and magic? Will Draco learn humilty and life-skills? Will Severus slowly begin to l-tolerate Harry for his generosity and heart, and save him from depression, stress, too much heroism and too little common sense? If ever a boy/ teen needed a firm, kind Father... Now, authoress. Woman, listen to reason. U.p.d.a.t.e. we await, 'cause you write much, much too well. Hopeful: 'Accio, new chapters.' I really like it, and feel gratitude. Like SS, my compliments are buried under hissing. Thank You so much for writing.
more, soon?
So yep, please update!
CCAP
And Snape!! Took a while to meet him but he's certainly worth waiting for. Can't wait for the story to continue. |
