“Just thought I’d give you the opportunity to spend time with your father.”- HAHAHA!! That's just way weird! XD I'm so use to reading Snape being Harry's dad, I messed myself up for a minute here and had to reread it, and then I promptly burst out laughing. XD This whole topic of the whole Harry being Snape's dad is just too much fun! But I just knew Snape would be the one to invent Wolf'sBane. I can understand why he doesn't want the credit, but I'm angry on his behalf that the one guy stole his glory! But I still like the detention punishment. (I'm going to be a history/English teacher and after reading all of these fics I wonder if I'll get in trouble because I like so many of these punishments. Oops.) And yay Gryffindor won! But I thought Hermione and Snape's conversation was perfect. Yay snark!! But I'm sad the voice is gone. :( I love Alan Rickman's voice. I love his nose. ^_^ And you're going into political science? Good luck with that. I find it an interesting area, but deep down I love history too much. (yay Roman emperors ;D ) But your "Snape terrifies with mathematics" was perfect, by the way. It was awesome and I found it extremely affective. Now that I'm up and running again, I'm going to the next chappie. Awesome story! :D Author's Response: Don’t you hate it when that happens? My internet used to be so unreliable that I read all the chapterfics I could as one file just so there was no chance I’d be left hanging when my connection cut out. Oh, I know, I’m such a Severitus fic fan, it was really weird at times to write this. Neither Harry, nor I could help ourselves over that line. It had to be said. One of the shortfics set in this universe, “Literary Minds” talks very briefly about what happened to Belby hahaha. Lol, I wouldn’t want to be your student... While I was writing it, I felt kind of bad for both of them. Hermione was, clumsily, trying to apologize and reasure him, but it’s Snape. *pets them* Law, actually. I was going to go into Near Eastern Languages (I speak Arabic, and I’m learning Hebrew) and the colleges I spoke to said they wanted Polisci as an undergraduate degree, but for reasons related to my illness, I can’t go to any universities that offer Near Eastern Languages or Near Eastern Studies as a PhD. I’m a real history buff too, especially ancient and classical history. There’s a lot of crossover between the fields.
Oh, and I completely loved the "bulb changing" joke *grin* there are not many jokes in fanfics generally, I realised. Even the writers who write in a funny/amusing style don't include jokes much. I wonder why. Hm, too long I guess. Best wishes, Lil Sun Author's Response: Thanks, I’m glad you like it so far, and I’m sorry about your poor eyes. I can’t stand Sappy!Snape, and when I set out to write this, that was near the top of things I would not let myself do. The whole point of writing him, as far as I’m concerned is to write him, snark and nastiness included, and the whole point of writing Harry interacting with him is to watch them bicker. I think that jokes I writing have become déclassé to the point where even most fanfiction writers don’t use them. It was meant to be a one off to show something about Harry and Ginny, and I can’t lay claim to it. Wow, there isn’t much humor in the fic, is there?
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I loved writing Snape not admitting to being even slightly jealous. Everyone is redoing their seventh year, Slytherins favored by the Death Eaters included. The previous year counts for no one, because no one could learn under those conditions... or so the official govenment line goes, at least. So Ginny is still a sixth year also. Also, it means there are two sets of first years, those repeating the year, and the new ones.
I was struck by an interesting piece of irony while reading this chapter. I thought of all the times Harry had some information he wanted to bring to the Headmaster's attention but didn't. (Just like Snape/Prince) And of course, in most of those instances he tried to solve it himself and ended up being saved by Snape. I can't help but wonder if there's a way for Harry to help Snape this time. So, Severus is glad he can fly, even if he 'didn't really want to learn' in the first place. LOL (gotta love those sour grapes) I'm thinking that'll come into play later, huh? Author's Response: Thanks, I’m glad you like that line, It’s Harry showing where Snape’s snark came from. I wasn’t planning on Harry bailing Snape out of any of Snape’s mistakes, at least not new ones, but he does prove helpful to Snape. I don't think they come into play plot wise, except that I have a running fox symbolism for Snape, and the icon I made for this is of the fox reaching for the grapes. It also shows up in the epilogue, which I have already written. I’m really pleasantly surprised that you caught it for what it was, and used exactly that phrase for it.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked that line. That was Harry's allotment for sheer snark for quite a while that... Snape here has much more of an identity crisis to go through in this fic than Harry does, and it's kinda fun to play with the reverse of the norm. On the other hand, Harry will have a lot more trouble thrown his way sortly. |
