Reviews For Hide Yourself Away
Author's Response: Aww how sweet! Some of my dogs growing up were outside dogs and some inside. My shepherd was an outside dog but he was housebroken before he became one and never had an accident inside after he was 6 months. Shepherds are so smart. Mine was like Houdini, he could climb fences and everything.
Author's Response: Aww thanks! I hope you like the rest of this story and it's sequel. I will try and read the next chapter of yours when I have a free moment. Harry's Rosie is a lot like a female version of my beagle Rocky. Oh and by the way, I laughed really hard when you told me about yours and her dominance issues. I used to train dogs in obedience and I saw that behavior a lot and most of the time the dog's owners were horrified until I explained to them that it wasn't what they thought.
Author's Response: Yes, but beagles and labs are trouble squared. My friend had a Lab puppy and she went to work and left him in the kitchen with a baby gate. he was around five months then. She came home and discovered her dog had eaten the leg OFF the kitchen table!! Yikes! And if you want to hear more crazy stories like that, read Marley and Me--it's a true story by John Grogan about his Lab and all the stuff this dog did to their house. Great pet story and it's set in Florida. I know, I used to live in Florida too, west near Tampa. if it wasn't the rain or the hurricanes it was the bugs.
But I can't stand punishing Harry in my stories. ::grins weakly:: I always end up torturing him horribly by the Dursleys or I forget that he should be punished for certain things. ::chuckles:: On to the next chapter! Author's Response: It's hard for me to write some punisment scenes, I don't like writing ones where Harry's getting walloped by Sev every other chapter with rulers and stuff, so my spankings are like a paragraph and normal-under twenty swats and not descriptive. I used to be a teacher and to me any CP that's 20 or over is abuse, especially if it's delivered with something, like a ruler. The nuns at catholic school used to give you three with a ruler and consider it a good spanking, and they were right--according to my sister, who went there and endured them, thank God I didn't have to go thru that! And after 13 or 14, no kid should be spanked, in fiction or real life. Actually 14's too old, in real life that would never happen, if you have normal parents and not abusive ones that is. I try to use real punishments when I write those scenes, because otherwise it doesn't seem believable.
Author's Response: yeah, he'll be like, Merlin Dad, not the camera AGAIN!
and telling him about the mudblood thing shows he trusts him with stories about his elusive past and his mother which has got to be very hard for sev to do considering how much he misses her Author's Response: Yes, that's one of the things I like showing about Severus, that you can still lay down the law to a kid so he gets the message in no uncertian terms without beating them and his telling Harry about that incident shows how much he trusts his son and wants him to learn from his mistakes and grow up to be a good man. He also knows that Harry needs to know about his mom, even though it hurts Sev to talk about her sometimes, for his son, he will.
Author's Response: I know, beagles are trouble, but you gotta love them! Thanks for your review!
Love it and think sev is fair but strict but hey - it makes sense and at the end of the day harry learns something and sev does talk to him LOL next bit sounds like fun I love mia and would love to meet melody Bren Author's Response: You will and thanks, this is so different from what I usually write, but I'm loving it anyhow.
Author's Response: Thanks and I'll be posting more when I get back from vacation!
Author's Response: Well, Harry's magic is starting to return gradually, as Dumbledore thought might be the case, so right now he has enough to fly the Nimbus. |
