Reviews For Slave Child
I think that it is a testament to Severus' character that he's not going to give up on Draco, just because the tortured boy made a mistake because he felt abandoned and desperately wanted loved and attention. If Draco were to abandon Draco like that, would he also abandon Harry, if Harry made an error in judgement. No, because when Severus cares about someone, he doesn't reject them if they don't behave as he thinks they should. Let's face it, Draco did cast a curse on Harry, and it's effects were horrible, but Draco and Harry have always fought, and Harry wasn't always an angel either when he retaliated against Draco. They both have their faults, and Draco really didn't know what he was doing when he cast a slavery spell on Harry. Yes, he didn't feel the remorse that he should have, once he found out, and true, he ran to the press to cause Harry pain and embarrassment, but I don't think he deserves to go to Azkaban for it. If he had know that the spell was illegal and was the slavery spell, then that would be different, but while Draco's behaviour may have been reprehensible, and he deserves to be punished, he doesn't deserve to go to a place that is run by Dementor's who suck the life out of you, literally and figuratively. I think that Draco deserves a second chance, and I believe that being in Severus and Harry's company could teach him a really valuable lesson and hopefully turn his life around. No one is purely evil, and I believe this even less about Draco. Even in Canon, he couldn't kill Dumbledore, he has a heart way down deep and he's still only a child. NO child deserves to be given up on. Fantastic chapter Kristeh, and I'm so so happy that you are sticking to your convictions and writing the story YOUR way. Great job, you are a fabulous writer. Author's Response: Hi, Pandora, I owe all my reviewers a big apology for taking so long to respond, but you know I had pre-planning week at school this past week and how busy and tired I was. Thanks so much for this awesome review! I struggled with what would be appropriate for Draco and it is maybe something that people disagree on. I tend to agree with you, that his behavior, especially in going to the press, was horrible, but I don't think his entire life should be ruined. It is arguable that he ruined Harry's life, and perhaps that is what makes it controversial, but I like situations that are debatable and make you think. And I do have plans for Harry, though I've been playing with ideas for a sequel some more and I may change what I had originally planned for the ending of this story, cause it would affect the sequel (if I do actually write one, something I'll have to decide before it gets to that point). Thanks again! |
