Reviews For An Uncertain Future
Loved Harry dragging both Hermione and Ron to the RoR and insisting they make up. His little speech was brilliant. The Ginny/Harry interaction was also lovely. Harry must be getting a bit frustrated that he can't do more than give her a peck on the lips and run his fingers through his hair. An altogether enjoyable chapter, but I cannot help but feel that the status quo may be disrupted soon. Harry has been happy for a little too long. Perhaps I am wrong... I hope so. Lesley~ Author's Response: With Harry's touch, Spinner's End had become more of a home now for Severus, than it ever was. Harry so deserves to have a nice bedroom, and i really wanted him to have one; even if it's only in my story! Yeah, Harry's content now; he has a loving father, a lovely girlfriend, and the best friends that he could wish for!! What could go wrong? (innocent look)
Yeah, Severus is just a little distracted right now, but don't worry, the man is very perceptive and God help Adams when Severus finally wises up!
I loved writing that scene so much!! I'm just a big romantic at heart. I wrote that little Ginny and Harry scene with you and my fellow GH shpper-lovers in mind. :)
Yeah, I suspect that Harry is taking a lot of cold showers!! It's a little tricky getting time alone with Ginny though; you know, being at a boarding school, in a a dorm with dozens of boys, and a Common Room with many more students. Where on earth do they find some privacy? Also, as much as Harry wants Ginny, she's still only sixteen and has another year left of school, so either they have to look into some birth control, which is not always 100 percent, or continue to deny themselves. Aw...the trials and tribulations of young love. But then again...very soon, Harry and Ginny are not going to have time to think of their loves lives...(oooops....that was supposed to be a secret)
Oh, by the way, I've been rereading Shocking Discovery again!!! And I'm almost at the end, and I'm really really wanting more!!!
Thanks for reviewing Lesley. :)
Author's Response: Thanks Kate. I'm looking forward to Christmas as well. There are some surprises to come--both good and bad!
Aw, I love Ginny and Harry too. I know that not everyone does, but I can't help it.
As for this chapter, you've got me a bit nervous about Adams again. Was the overturned inkwell all he was up to or is it something bigger? Either way, I can tell that Harry hasn't seen the last of him yet. Hopefully he'll tell Severus before things get far too out of control. I really liked the part where Harry and Severus finally talked about Sirius. It's nice that they've finally gotten to the point where they are able to do so without anger. Great chapter! -P.G. Author's Response: Yeah, poor Severus, but he's a big softy underneath all that snark. I'm excited too, to write the holidays.
Adams is definitely up to no good, and Harry is Harry; likes to deal with his problems on his own, but Severus is perceptive and perhaps will see what's going on on his own. We shall see!
Oh, I'm glad that you liked that conversation. i thought that it was important for their relationship to be able to talk about any subject, no matter how painful or uncomfortable it made either one of them, and since the pain of grief is still so fresh for Harry from all the casualties of the war, and it's only been a couple years since he lost Sirius, Harry needs to purge all the hurt from his system. Grief can take years to heal from, if ever.
Thanks P.G.
This is my first review but I have been following this story ever since it was first published and have loved the entire plotline. My only one complaint is that the story is its pace - it is very slow. As far as advancing the plot is concerned, very few things happen in each chapter - or maybe, it's only because I actually like it a lot and am always wanting to read more. That said, I realise that it is your style and that each of the chapter tells us about their relationship - I think maybe the problem is that I am not sure where the story is now going to. I still love your story and your writing in general. My only issues are pace and the feeling that the main part of the story is over. I am waiting on pins and needles for your 'Sparks Will Fly' update. Love that story as well. Lia Author's Response: Oh, I understand perfectly, but trust me, the story is not even started yet. I was going through a bit of writer's block, so I apologise if the story seems slow.
I will try to pick up the pace a bit, but the things that I have planned have to play out first, or it will seem too rushed. It's not easy finding a balance between slow and too rushed, but I'll try.
Thanks for reviewing.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm happy that they've made up too! :)
I'm so happy that Harry and Severus have a real home together at Spinner's End, and Harry's room sounds just beautiful, grand but cozy at the same time. I hope that in time, as he and Harry build new and good memories, and with the house looking so different, that Severus will think of it as a happy place too. I can understand perfectly that it's hard for Harry to leave and head back to school. It's his first real home, and he and Severus need to spend time together, just relaxing and getting to know one another with the pressures of school and other people around. But Harry does enjoy Hogwarts and he'll get to see Ginny and his friends, and he and Severus have weekends at Spinner's End to look forward to now. Great reunion scene with Ginny, you write her and Harry so well together, and thank goodness that Ron and Hermione have finally patched things up again. They have been through too much to let it go now, and they do care deeply for one another. I'm so happy that Harry was able to make them see that, and to make Ron see reason. But I am really concerned about Adams causing Harry trouble, and Harry's reluctance to ask for help, though I do understand it. But Severus is very sharp and not much gets by him, so hopefully he'll notice on his own before things get too bad? Anyway, it was such a great chapter, and I was so happy to see that you're working on this story again. It's one of my favorites! I'm already looking forward to the next chapter! Author's Response: Hi again. Thanks so much for that lovely comment. I think that perhaps Harry's presence and the change in the decor, has made it easier for Severus to get past his horrible past experience with Spinners End. I think that it is time for a new beginning for them both. Oh, Harry is torn now, because he wants to see Ginny and misses her, but he's feeling all warm and happy with his new home, and spending time with his new father. But yeah...knowing that he'll see Ginny will make it easier for him to go backto Hogwarts. Yes, he'll have weekends also to look forward to.
Oh thanks. I know not everyone likes Ginny and Harry together, but I like J.K.'s choice of partner for Harry. I think that she's feisty and strong-willed, and brave and just what Harry needs. They are good for each other I think. They balance each other out perfectly.
Adams is trouble with a capital "T", but don't worry, Harry has got his number, and will put the big baboon in his place once and for all! Yeah, Sev will eventually figure it out as well.
Thanks Kristen, and I loved your new chappie too, and am on pins and needles waiting for the next one.

Author's Response: I think that you pressed the button twice!!! I'll give a more detailed answer on the next one.
Thanks so much. You always make me feel so good with your lovely reviews. I think that both Severus and Harry are starting to feel more comfortable with each other now, and they are both going to make this Christmas one that they'll both never forget. I think that if Ginny and Harry are so happy together, then it would take some of his happiness away if his best friends were at odds. They've just been through too much together like you said to stay at odds like that.
Thanks Kristeh! Now, I'll go answer the second review! :)
Great chapter, Pandora. I was happy to see this story on the update list. I could feel Harry's anticipation for Christmas here and I can't wait to read how he'll decorate the house. I'm surprised that Harry still wants to be an Auror or is still considering it considering everything that has happened to him. I'm wondering how the information session will go for him. If it'll help him decide one way or the other. Author's Response: Thanks. Yeah, he's like a big kid. Poor Sev, Harry's going to go all out in decorating!
Well, I think that being an Auror is something Harry has wanted for a long time, and I know that many fanfiction authors have him choose another career, but I'm trying to stick with Canon as much as I possibly can in this story. Obviously, much of it is AU, but I still like to try to keep to Canon where I'm able to and since Harry became an Auror, I'm sticking with that. Well, there IS an information session, but that is not the only reason that Harry is going to the Ministry. Oh, I can't wait for an update from you too!! :) |
