Author's Response: I mean that's your oppinion about Ginny, but at this point, not to be rude, but I can't bring myself to care.
What a quiet dramatic scene and the lads are growing more comfortable in their nagging each other. 'They're growing accustomed to their face' * starts humming Prof. Higgins' song* Author's Response: You know, at this point, my response to this kind of nonsense, saying that Ginny is some kind of evil blight on Harry for being a traumatized child who is afraid and acting on it is nunpublishably obcene. Feel free to imagine the appropriate rude words here.
I want to read it both fast and very slowly.. well done. By the way is is Bodmin the owl Eileen Prince as an animagus? There is just something about the mannerisms that calls out... and that she eats a mouse right in the middle of a romantic scene... It is four o'clock at night, and I'm sleepy and staring suspiciously at the plot. Please, never give up writing. It is a deep enjoyment. Author's Response: Bodmin is just an owl.
I would rather have seen him trying to stay but unable to stop himself from leaving, then Eileen feels forced to marry Snape (who isn't yet such a bad sort as portrayed here) because of the stigma of being an unwed mother (still huge in the early 60s). She is the one who casts the glamour, for the sake of the neighbourhood gossips, but Snape knows the child is not his and is jealous, and this ends up poisoning any chance of a decent marriage. Severus and Harry could have figured this out together – after much angst, of course – after Harry's return and revelation. Same end point, but everyone stays in character. Author's Response: I fail to understand why you thought this was a necessary commebt to leave on a fanfic that is ten years old. It's not like I'm going to change it to suit your tastes.

-K Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
I should've mentioned in the baby chapter that I liked how Harry wonders what Sev was like as a child. -K Author's Response: This is one of the first times in this fic, all the way here at the end that I show Harry and Snape's dreadful little father son relationship as a father son relationship. Go Harry! Be a dad! He is fairly good at it, isn't he? There's a huge part of Harr that really deeply regrets leaving and not taking care of Snape. He feels responsible for te bitter twisted person Snape has become, even though he had no real choice. I feel really awful for both of them.
I like how you haven't made Harry's and Severus's relationship shift swiftly, but Harry's obstinacy in playing devil's advocate with Severus was irritating (even though quite in character). Harry was pretty sure he wasn't going to accept the invitation to join the Wizengamot, but he wanted to hear Severus's arguments so that he could reassure himself that he was correct in his decision. So he wound Severus up to watch him go - he's pretty good at manipulating people already... Author's Response: Snape can be such a spectacular you-know-what. I mean I love him for it, but wow, he is. Harry is actually really good at getting what he needs out of people, especially people he doesn't trust, which he hd to be to survive the Dursleys, and I think he actually could have manipulated the Wizengamot. I also think that Ginny's right, and it would have destroyed him, maybe not the way she thinks, but it would have emotionally wrecked him, especially after he effectively fought to maintain the status quo by defeating Voldemort. I loved writing Harry's manipulations, because somewhere inside, Snape is recognizing them, and is in something of a mind game contest with Harry, and they're learning to understand each other by means of being awful to each other. (sigh) I enjoy it more than I should. |
