Reviews For An Uncertain Future
I don't care for the plotting going on between Draco and Adams. They are going to cause some serious trouble, if not for Harry, but for themselves, no doubt! Author's Response: Plotting from Malfoy never bodes well, but matched with Adams, it is a disaster waiting to happen.
“Here, read pages 235 to page 480. I will test you on it later.” Severus flicked his wand and the lantern beside Harry's bed flickered and lit up the room in a soft glow.- Nothing makes a teenager feel better than reading a text book. Good one Snape! *gives thumbs up* You REALLY have the best bedside manners. *rolls eyes* "...like what a father should be; sensitive and understanding, caring and gentle. He had seemed like the kind of father that Harry had seen on the telly. And then there was Snape."- Snape? Like a buddy? 0_o I'd never believe it really. He might make a good father, but a father ONLY!! He's not the buddy type, is he? "If Harry were honest with himself though, these times were becoming less frequent, and even when he was angry with the man, he could see that Snape was trying."-YAY!! It's sinking in! FINALLY!! I knew Harry would begin to see it all. Now if only they could limit their arguing... "Harry had a childish desire to stick his tongue out at the git."-0_0 I would NEVER do that to Snape! My luck, if I ever did, he'd pull out some scissors and snip off my tongue! :( "Yes Horace, I was just telling Potter the other day that when it came to his potion-making skills, that he took a leaf out of my book," he said dryly.-BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! XD OMGosh Pandora! That was one of the greatest lines I've ever heard! That expression never even crossed my mind with regards to an actual book until now! HAHAHA!! XD That's rich! I can just hear the driness of it all! XD Brilliant line!! 50 points to you for that one!! I really like the whole interaction with Horace. He's probably going to (or had) a heart attack, with all this news. But I liked it a lot, especially his own thoughts on the pair. Very well done! I just hope that Horace will be able to help them... Fantastic chappie Pandora! I'll read again when I get the chance. :) Author's Response: Thanks Ivy. I just thought that it would be fun to have Harry in Sughorn's class, without the book, and see how Harry woulld fare.
Hee hee. Yeah, Harry sticking out his tongue at Snape. Yeah, bad move on Harry's part. Not smart. Nah, Snape is definitely not the buddy type.
LOL! Really great bedside manner.
Thanks Ivy, you are too sweet. Thanks for reviewing every chapter. Wow! I really appreciate it. :)
Harry is certainly not out to make Severus' job easy, is he. Arguing at every turn. He is smarting from the fact that Severus' reaction to Harry's knowledge of their relationship was far from positive, and now that Sev is making an effort, HArry still cannot forget the slight. Though he is enjoying the pampering to a degree, he does not like being ordered around. I hope the prolonged affects from Harry's injury is not indicative of something sinister waiting to happen, like a clot becoming dislodged and a bleed occuring in his brain. I wouldn't imagine being smacked across the back of his head would be be beneficial when Severus has had to fight tooth and nail to keep him resting to avoid further injury! Oh, and Nagini wasn't a basilisk...she was just a massive snake. If she was a basilisk, DEs would have been being petrified all over the place. Is the story coming to an end if all of those wuestions are going to be answered in the next chapter? Lesley Author's Response: Oh wow you do have a point. That was pretty stupid of Snape to hit Harry in the head. Harry is not the only one who does stupid things! Yes, Adams is one to watch, that is for sure. Draco is almost mild compared to Adams. Harry does hold a certain amount of resentement for Snape still. He can't forget the rejection he felt when he first brought Snape back, but part of his attitude is his mind being controlled by the Dark Magic, and the other part is feeling resentful that Snape thinks that he can just come in after six and a half years, and play father. Oh no, Harry's definitely not going to let Snape order him around without a fight Also, Harry is a young man now, not a child, so he's still caught between being on the brink of manhood, and still feeling childish resentment towards Snape for all his misdeeds. The bottom line is that Harry, is not sure what he feels. The Dark Magic that is controlling him, is not helping to keep his mind stable either. Oh, yes you are right. What WAS I thinking! Of course, the Basilisk was killed in the second book! You know anytime I have a question about Canon, I'll go to the expert -- YOU. Actually, I DO have one concerning Kristeh's question about the Elder Wand. Was it not destroyed or hidden away at the end of DH? I remember Harry not wanting to keep it. He used it to repair his own wand, and then said he didn't want it. Am I correct in this? I will go change that line about Nagini. Thanks Lesley! No, story is not ending soon. I was just joking around. Maybe it was a poor attempt! :o I'm looking forward to updates of YOUR stories Lesley. And how are things in Australia now? I'm not hearing about anything new on the news, so I hope that that means that things are still calmed down. I hope so. Take care Lesley, and thanks for taking the time to review, when you have three of your own brilliant stories that you're writing. Dawn
Adams sounds like bad news, even more so than Draco. I'm glad Severus was around to interrupt their little meeting, but I hope he and Harry will both keep their eyes open? Thinking about Harry possibly being in danger and having enemies has made me think of the Elder Wand. What has happened to that in this universe? Has Harry hidden it or does he still have it? I'm curious if it will come into play in this story. If I ever get around to writing a story set after DH, I'm going to have someone try to come after Harry for it, I think. I mean, it seems reasonable to think that someone would want that wand and Harry did announce to everyone in the Great Hall that he was its master now so I'd think he'd still have to watch out for that, unless maybe he destroyed it publicly or something. Well, anyway, I loved how Harry is beginning to realize that his father does care for him, despite their still frequent conflicts, and I loved how Severus felt a pang at the easy and close relationships Harry has with his friends. And the discussion with Slughorn was very good, too. Poor Sluggie...he must feel like he's been run over by a truck! I laughed at Severus' line about the book, but I have to say that I do think that Harry has the potential to be quite good at Potions on his own, too, without the book helping him. Both his parents are/were very intelligent and good at Potions (even in canon, James and Lily were both very talented and clever, too) so Harry has the brains and the ability. His real trouble with Potions is a mental thing...by this time, he's gotten into his head that he's not good at it, doesn't enjoy the subject, and probably doesn't want to be good at it beyond passing his NEWTS and being accepted as an Auror. I wonder if Harry's feeling towards Potions might change as he and his father become closer? Well, anyway, I loved the chapter and I can't wait for the next one! Author's Response: Thank you Kristeh. Yes Adams is perhaps even more dangerous than Malfoy, because he`s got his size to intimidate others as well as the fact that he lacks conscience. Malfoy is very selfish, but he is feeling some remorse for hurting Snape. Adams has not personal relationship with Severus, so there is no limit to his maliciousness. If I`m not mistaken, Harry refused to keep posession of the wand, because he preferred his own. I believe that he repaired HIS wand with it, and then got rid of it. Not sure, but I seem to remember him having buried it or something along those lines. Harry didn`t keep the wand though because of the dangers in succumbing to it`s power. Ron was flabbergasted that Harry refused to keep it, if I recall correctly. I think that I lent my copy of Deathly Hallows to someone, so I can`t check, but I`ll ask someone because now I`m curious too. As for the conversation with Slughorn...Yeah, poor old Sluggie, he hasn`t had this much excitement in his life for a long time! Don`t know if his ticker can handle much more! As for Harry`s potions skills, I think that perhaps Severus will want to help Harry improve because everyone now knows that Harry is his son, and as rocky as their relationship has been, I do believe that he would be proud to have Harry follow in his footsteps. While Harry will probably not become a Potions Master, I do also think that he would have some natural talent, that will come to light under the right circumstances. After all, Snape made Harry very nervous in class, and Harry could have become quite proficient in Potions, had Snape not quashed his efforts early on, with his constant insults. I think that it would be a good opportunity for them to become closer if Snape were to tutor Harry in Potions. Yes, Harry could be very good at Potions and I think he could learn to enjoy it as well. Thank you so much for your review, and I`m really looking forward to YOUR next chapter!! Please hurry!
I think poor old Horace just might faint at the end and Severus will have permanent gray hairs too. And if Draco doesn't watch his step, he might be out on his ear. Author's Response: Yes, it is going to take a lot of work to make the relationship work, and each has the responsibility to control their actions. I think that once Harry is back to himself, then he'll have better control of his behaviour. Snape is so set in his ways, it might be difficult for him to change easily, but as you pointed out, he is adaptable after having to spy for so many years. LOL! Poor Horace! He hasn't seen this much action since Tom Riddle used him to gather information on the Horcruxes! I really wouldn't want Sev to become prematurely gray and lose those lovely black locks. Ok, so they're a little greasy!! Draco had better reconsider his plan to destroy Harry, because he might destroy himself in the process.
i hate when snape call his son to potter.he call malfoy to first name but he cant call his son to harry.yes,he help to harry but he doesn't act a father.snape is still snapish. Author's Response: Malfoy's a rat, but I'd say that he's basically harmless, compared to Adams, and Malfoy could very easily get blamed for Adam's misdeeds! Don't worry, Snape is just having a hard time adjusting to calling Harry by his real name. Old habits die hard. Don't forget for six and a half years, he has been referring to Harry as Potter. It will just takes some time. Snape is still gruffy, but it takes time to be a father. It's just not realistic to expect it to happen to fast. Dont' worry though, Snape has really already come a long way in his mindset towards Harry. Unfortunately, at the moment it is only internally. He's still having a hard time demonstrating to Harry how he cares. But he does. That's the important thing.
This was my favorite part of the whole chapter:Severus was taking great pleasure in his son's discomfort. "Yes Horace, I was just telling Potter the other day that when it came to his potion-making skills, that he took a leaf out of my book," he said dryly. Lol! I love the implication there--very good! -P.G. Author's Response: Well, my motive for bringing Horace into the picture was twofold. First, Harry is not going to be too much help this time with the ritual. His mood swings are not condusive to researching and toying with Dark Magic again. Horace does have experience in his background with Horcruxes. He was the first person that Tom Riddle thought of when he needed advice on how to create one. While Dumbledore, if he were alive and not trapped in a portrait, would have been the logical choice, it is not an option at this point to have him help in the preparation of the ritual and the Potion that will be required to complete the reversal. Also, I'm a little bit evil myself. I was toying with the idea of opening the door to Slughorn coming back to Hogwarts to teach Potions again. After all, Severus is rather busy right now with Harry, and could use a relief from the heavy workload that he's under, and I think seeing Harry squirm in Slughorn's Potions class, without Snape's book, would be deliciously funny--don't you? Also, that would open the door to maybe Severus helping his son with his Potions skills so that he won't be embarassed in front of Slughorn. Of course, Severus is evil as wel, just might make Harry sweat it! LOL¡¡ I was rather pleased with that line too. He got great pleasure in making Harry squirm. He thinks that Harry deserves it for having cheated! LOL! I love a sarcastic and snarkey Snape. I think that Tabitha's evilness is rubbing off on me. But she is so brilliant, isn't she? :) |
