Reviews For Lily's Charm: The Gift
!!!! That whole scene was inspired and totally awesome! You are very, very good! Thank You for a wonderful laugh! Agneta (a Swedish fan)
Author's Response: Thanks Waterleaves! And thanks for being my 200th reviewers *squashes you with a hug* I do love Remus. He's such a great guy and yeah, Severus being hugged by Remus would be pretty scary for Sev. LOL :oP
Severus really needs a jolt of self-confidence here, and the ability to forgive himself. I admit though that that is a tough one. How can a loving father ever completely forgive himself when he knows that he's hurt his child so badly and for so long? But he's got to try because he is continuing to hurt Harry, who needs him to be strong and secure and for them to be able to move past all that. Their awkwardness with one another after the confrontation was good, and I loved how Remus was there for the both of them. (I especially loved how Severus was afraid Remus was going to hug him...too funny! And now, of course, I really want a scene where they do hug, lol). The chapter did seem to end on a more hopeful note, with Harry being determined to help his dad and Severus being determined to give his son what he needs. I can't wait to see where they end up going. Oh, I'm happy that Harry and Ginny got everything straightened out, too.
Oh Severus, still so insecure. Doesn't he see that Harry's pretty much well-acquainted with the worst side of him by now, and still wants to be his son? Will he ever recognize all the good that Harry sees in him too? Another amazing chapter. You write family so well. The joy and beauty and strength of love, but also the pain and hurt and vulnerability. I also loved that moment when Harry and Severus meet each other in the hallway after Harry's outburst of anger in the potions lab... and Harry's thinking about something more meaningful to say than "I'm going to the loo"... and you can tell Severus is trying to think of something more meaningful to say too, but can only think of, "I'm going to the lab." In some key respects they're so similar, and that's including their insecurities about being loved and accepted. Hugs for both of them. I'm so glad it was made clear to Remus, too, that he's the honorary godfather. Maybe that will give him a confidence boost when it comes to reconciling with Tonks (you will have them reconcile, right? Please?) Can't wait for the next chapter - how things will work out with Sirius, whether Remus and Tonks will start desperately snogging, and where Harry will choose to go on a holiday.
Loved Remus' confessing of his worries about his place in Harry's affection! |
