Reviews For Never Again!
I loved how he handled this and maybe sev will understand and start to see a difference good job - yet again! Author's Response: Thanks Bren, and yes, I know the mail got ruined, but Tobias wasn't even thinking about that!
Author's Response: Thanks and I shall!
Author's Response: Yes and it may have even changed Tobias's mind a little about magic too!
Author's Response: Well, that's debatable, I'm not sure yet, since I haven't written it. But you'll know when I post it.
Author's Response: Thank you and I hope you like the rest of it!
I loved Tobias's reaction to his grandson when he brought him inside. Absolutely amazing. He's truly come to care for his grandson. Hopefully Severus will be able to see that. Severus reaction to what Harry told him seemed a bit mild. I would have thought he would insist that Harry not return to Tobias regaurdless of what Harry told him. He seemed willing to believe what Harry was telling about a man that beat the sh*t out of him without much proof. I mean, no he didn't automatically accect that Tobias was a changed man, but despite that he sends Harry back to him. Surely now that he's awake he would have been able to dictate who his son stays with. Then again none of that really matters because if Harry wasn't sent back to Tobias then we wouldn't have gotten the amazing scene between grandfather and grandson. Excellent chapter and I can't wait for more! Author's Response: I believe that he's willing, for now, to give Tobias the benefit of the doubt, considering he knows Harry wasn't lying and Dumbledore did go there several times to check up on him as well. But, he's not entirely sure Tobias has changed forever and so he'll be waiting to see what happens. Plus it's only a week and he needs to concentrate on getting better.
One question: I noticed in a couple of chapters, Snape refers to Harry as "Mr. Potter". Has he kept James' name in this? I think I missed something. Author's Response: Yes, Harry did keep James's name, even though Sev adopted him, I mentioned it rather briefly in chapter one, so I'm not surprised you missed it. And you're right about the out-of-control children. While I don't agree with belts used on kids--too much of it growing up with my siblings--and I do approve of people watching for signs of child abuse, I don't appreciate it if someone calls authorities on a parent for reprimanding their kid in public, if it's deserved. Now I'm not talking about a parent hauling off and smacking their kid in the teeth, but a sharp "Knock it off or else or a swat on the rear isn't abuse and shouldn't be reported as such. We've all gotten--and deserved--a good whack on the behind at one time or another. Is it better to have the child running and causing mayhem in a store or screaming at te top of their lungs-BUT ME THIS! I work with the public everyday at B&N and I see--and hear--parents tell their kids "Now rememberwhat we taled about Johnny, don't touch the books" as their 2 year old gleefully trashes the entire display of paperbacks or my favorite "If you don't behave that lady's going to come and yell at you". Me? He's not MY kid and it's not my job to discipline your brat! The only kids I discipline are my family. Anyway, thanks for the review!
