Reviews For Resolution
Author's Response: ha - that is really weird; I was listening to that song literally seconds before I got your review. Deplorable - love it! :D
Author's Response: Hmm, interesting - I shall have to consider it! Thanks for the review :) Almost done on your story btw!
I'm still angry with Snape for his harsh punishment of Harry (yes, I know this is just a story LOL) but glad that he's starting to worry that he might have been unfair. It's a good sign that he is worried that Harry is avoiding his eyes as he comes to class since it would be entirely possible for that to just make Snape angrier at Harry. Although some of your reviewers seem to feel that Snape's punishment was fair and not harsh, I think banning him from his broom and Quidditch for one or two terms is much harsher than taking away broom playing privileges for part of the summer. Playing on the House team is important to Harry - it's part of who he is. Besides, I'm sure it has occurred to Harry that Snape just might like the fact that taking Harry off the team is helping out his Slytherins. Another interesting part of this is something that canon never really addressed. Because of Harry's adversarial relationship with the Dursleys, he never learned that adults might have a good reason to withhold things from him. For example, why did the Dursleys not allow Harry to watch their TV or eat enough food or have toys, etc.? They wanted to make him miserable -- just like Snape seems to want at this moment. They weren't trying to teach him something or protect him. I would think it is going to be hard for Snape to regain Harry's trust. He (IMO) rather blew it at the first test. Harry was wrong and needs to realize it, but Snape needs to understand Harry better. But anyway, looking forward to the next chapter. Author's Response: Thank you, it's great to hear that you're being drawn into the story so much :) Yes, I could have Severus a lot nastier, but that would have held back the rest of the story for a while and I didn't want everyone to get bored. Besides, it would be mean to Harry (you can tell I'm getting drawn in too)! If handled in the right way (and made much shorter) Severus' original punishment would have been mildly acceptable, however, as it was not, once Severus realises that he's done something wrong, he will end up changing the punishment to something that Harry would be able to understand. Anyway, I'd be interested to see what you make of what happens when they finally end up talking it over! Thanks for your lovely review :)
Author's Response: Interesting choice, I suppose that could be true... Thanks! :)
Author's Response: Good idea - that does sound very like them *rolls eyes* Thank you for your suggestion!
Author's Response: Good plan, good plan... ;) Thanks for the suggestion!
But an awesome chapter and story! Author's Response: Yes, it stumped me too, but I like your choices, so thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying!
I also liked Severus's concern over his son and how he interacts with his Slytherins. He needs to be there for them since no one else ever seems to be, and who would know that better than him, right? Thanks for the quick update! Author's Response: Harry's magic is actually settling down - I'm making a point of it because I'm setting up a future plot point :) I'm glad you liked the Slytherin bit - I always wanted to write one of those after reading AYLNO. Probably should warn you that Severus will end up changing the punishment a little, but only because he issued the first one in anger. I'll be interested to see what you think when I finally write take#2! Thank you for your review!
