Reviews For Arms of a Dark Angel
Sev kicked butt in this chapter and while the two would have returned with possibly more muscle Sev has the law on his side he could have gotten help from others (as bad as it sounds)Dumbledore or even Malfoy would have the power to overturn someone like O'Shea. Harry has to win...could you imagine the evil and corrupt things a man like O'Shea could do if he had the boy-who-lived in his employ - Sev did not weigh the implications of this deal again - what was he thinking. I think Sev deserves more than a smack. I look forward to the coming chapters with baited breath; as usual you have me wanting more. Author's Response: technically, Severus has the law on his side, since O'Shea did abuse Boreal, however they have no proof save the pegasus himself and I don't think the word of a non-human creature, remember the Ministry is prejudiced, would be able to stand up in court. Plus O'Shea has tons and tons of money and can easily tie Sev up with court fees and appeals and whatever till kingdom come, he would go broke just trying to counter all the legal stuff. Plus while Sev could take on two or three wizards and dust them, even he would get exhausted from that after awhile, and he could never approach Lucius, since Lucius would want to know why Sev was concerning himself with Harry. As for Dumbledore, well, I don't know how much influence he would have had, but Severus would never go begging to him for help. Yes this race is dangerous, but remember who Harry has on his side, the premier racer Boreal, who O'Shea wants back desperately--why? Because he has the best shot at winning obviously, otherwise why bother looking for him? Severus realizes this, of course, and he will do everything he can to make sure Harry is safe while he flies and then all he has to do is win and they can never touch Boreal again, legally or otherwise. Sev is betting on Boreal to bring his rider home safe, and it's a good bet. Firefox won that race twice because he had a bonded rider on his back, but not all pegasi will find a rider to bond to, but those that do can fly ten times better, and that is also a point in Harry's favor.
Author's Response: Yes, you're right. Harry's grounding, and the ban on flying, was only for two days. After that he has to fly, so he can practice for the Skybolt. Thanks for reviewing!
I intensely disliked the Irish bad guys, of course and I don't like that Severus had to sign a contract. I guess it's a good excuse to get Harry and the pegasus into the race and allow Severus something new to worry about:) Author's Response: Thanks, I don't mind it when there are disagreements between the main characters, because that's like RL, but I don't like to drag it out. I thought the whole first part of OOTP was annoying when all the three did was fight, I wanted to smack all of them silly. Besides, I didn't want leave Ron & Harry's situation unresolved, they needed to get back together, since in COS they have many other adventurers together. If I do a sequel, I'll need them as friends for the beginning of that one, and the rest of it too! You aren't supposed to like those guys, even though they can't be classed as dark wizards, and the contract had to happen, it was the only way to keep the other side in check. And it is a very good excuse for Harry to ride in the Skybolt. Poor Sev! Like he needs another thing to worry about!
Author's Response: Didn't he, though? I loved writing the part where he shot Sean with the meteors and the freezing curse. Those two spells are my own invention, by the way. Ans Sev doesn't kill unless there is no other choice. The race is going to be the last big hurrah, and it'll be VERY exciting! Sev could have grounded Harry for a longer period, but remember he knows Harry needs to practice flying and get ready for the race, and Harry is going to need all of Sev's support as he prepares for it, and not be worrying about Snape being angry with him.
Author's Response: Thanks, those quick updates are one of my trademarks, you could say.
anyway great chapter, severus should of killed them or turned them into stone, made statues out of them, turned them into fish after he made a pond. poor harry having to do a horrendous race, where he possibly could get him killed Author's Response: I know who it is and will announce it next chapter. :) Sev doesn't kill unless he absolutely has to, but he certainly could have done so. I like your other suggestions though, but I needed the two to stay alive so they could issue the challenge and the Skybolt is dangerous, but Harry and Boreal can handle it!
Author's Response: Yup, there will be a great race! I have some really good surprises planned for that chapter! I was going to have Wraith appear, but then remembered that Ron & Hermione were watching and Sev didn't want to reveal his Animagus form to anyone. But if O'Shea sends any more goons out after them, Wraith will bite their a** all right!
Can't wait to see what you do.! Author's Response: Thank you veyr much, I'm very excited about this next part. When I was a kid I read all the Black Stallion books and loved them because they always had these wonderful races in them, so mine is going to be patterned after that, somewhat, and I'm so looking forward to writing the next few chapters. I love a good horse race.
Poor Severus, I think he's going to die a heartattack before he reaches thirty-seven at the rate Harry's scaring him. The grounding was funny to read but incredibly worth it. Severus and Harry truly love each other, you can see it when you read it (or I can anyway). Now, why does it have to be your sequels to other stories? Why couldn't it be this /one/? ::glares and pouts and runs away fast:: Don't hurt me! ::grins wickedly:: I've chosen which story and you know a little bit about Phil already. Here's a little more detail: He is between two-four centuries old, only his wife knows his true age. He is married and his wife is pregnant with twin boys. He is very distantly related to Severus through his father. (ie: Phil's father is Amar who had a brother that remained human and generations later we have Severus)Phil has shoulder-length black hair and violet eyes; he is a fierce opponent with a sword and a wand and could even rival Dumbledore (Don't forget how old he is - he's had /centuries/ of practice). You don't need to reveal all this; this information is more for you. Pick and choose. Since we are forced to choose which story, besides this one, we would like our character to appear in, I choose Heir to Prince Manor. I am very eagerly looking forward to the Skybolt tournament at the end of the summer. You are a magnificent writer and I love reading your stories, Snapegirl. Update when you can. Love, Jewels. Author's Response: Well, Wraith could always kill someone in the sequel . . .if I do one, that is! Which I seriously am considering! To answer your other question, I don't know if the vampire theme would fit so well in this one as with others--especially Heir and Hidden Away. In the next Hidden Away installment there will be vampires, as they go to New Orleans and meet up with a vampire cabal, featuring good & bad vampires. You could have Phil in there, if you want. Or we could leave him in Heir, your choice. I'm just about done with Blood & Ashes, by the way and I love it! You should definitely keep writing it! The Skybolt should be very intense. Looking forward to writing that one!
Philip Anthony Snape, an ancestor of Severus Snape; he is a vampire. King of the vampire. ::grins wickedly:: I would love to see him in this story but since you're making me choose, go with Heir to Prince Manor. He has black hair and violet eyes. Married. Um... what else? Ah, just go read Of Blood and Ashes. Brilliant chapter my dear. You certainly no how to make a girl's day. Love ya! Author's Response: Congrats, you're my 701th reviewer!! *confetti and fireworks for you* and a box of chocolate frogs too! Phil sounds like he would fit right in with my crowd of OC's, glad to have him join us! |
