Reviews For Redefining Family
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.
Now I'm really intrigued about what could have been happening to Snape. I loved how Harry got him mad to keep him going. I think it will make Snape think when he starts recovering. And I can't wait to see what you will do with Draco. But why is Luna not in school since she's the same year as Ginny?
Surely the government knows that Snape was a spy? Snow in Atlanta - yep, looking out my window (here in Lithia Springs) and I still see the white stuff. Of course, since I spent years in Maine, Maryland and Alaska, I really hate the white stuff.
I almost laughed at the when Snape started calling Harry names then Harry supplied a few...then Snape continued...then Harry...etc. lol Anyway, good chapter and I hope to see another one soon. (As well as another chapter of 'The House that Time Forgot') *wink wink nudge nudge* ;)
