Reviews For Broken Wings
Author's Response: *waves a Slytherin banner* You'll see! I've just posted the next part.
Everytime I turn around you've posted another chapter! LOL! Ooh, I hope Snape doesn't go off the deep end when he realises that the hawk is really Harry! Well, maybe he'll go softer on him when he begins to realise that Hagrid is right about Harry's home life! Wrath of Snape...Oh God help them! Author's Response: Yes, for about three hours. Actually I've been having insomnia lately and that's why I've been writing, because after i do that I'm drained and can usually fall asleep. By the time Harry regains his memories and reveals the fact that he is Animagus to Severus, the Potions Master will have gone through some changes in his opinion, but it will be a shock and at first Snape is going to freak. God help them, indeed! And guess what . . .here's another chapter!
Author's Response: Ha! The unmentionables! Love it! And you'll be seeing it soon.
Author's Response: I love red-tailed hawks, i wish I could own one, but I don't have the money, time, or the license. Oh well, that's why writing's so cool, because then I can have whatever I want. I remember reading Animorphs way back when, I think I still have the books somewhere. Get ready for some more Severus and Harry interaction in the next chapter, which I've just posted.
I love your hagrid, he's so sweet and yet he knows how to make Snape feel guilty without really saying so and how to get Snape to look at his actions in a different light. The comment about Snape acting like Sirius was brilliant! I also liked how you showed Hagrid as being hurt too in the past, that's glossed over in canon, but it must've hurt terribly. Now, let's see Snape give Draco a good thrashing, or the equivalent of! And save Harry too! Author's Response: Thanks and yes, Hagrid does understand Severus very well. I was wondering if anyone would catch that comment, I thought it was sort of funny. hagrid being hurt by being expelled and all was never really addressed and I felt ti should have been. Okay, one equivalent of a thrashing coming up!
I definitely like your Hagrid in this - he's much more believable than most and the 'mentoring' relationship he has with Severus is sweet. This chapter was fun to read and I'm looking forward to more! Author's Response: Coconuts? Like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail? LOL! I loved writing Hagrid that way, and I think Severus needs someone like him to remind him when he lets his temper get the better of him that he needs to calm down and take a look at the situation rationally. I'd say Hagrid understands Sev better than most because they have similar pasts--they've been down on the ground, spit at and mocked for their heritage and pawns and mistrusted--I think that's key when developing trust, that you cna relate to the other's fears and understand what motivates them. Dumbledore, brilliant wizard though he is, just doesn't get it, since he was never micked or derided as a child or an adult, he was always presented as a great and wonderful hero, and I think that's why sometimes Severus resents him for trying to tell him how to feel towards Harry. Severus must be saying--what the hell do you know about resentment or hating somebody's guts because they made your life hell for years and no one did anything about it--especially you? And then you tell me to just forget it? Right, old man. Anyway, the next one's up and you can get to see a bit more Harry/Sev bonding and more of Sev's past. Bring a tissue!
Author's Response: You're welcome. I know Hagrid seems odd because he's not usually cast as a mentor to a teacher, but given the past I created for the two of them, i think it works well. I like giving Hagrid something more to do than just take care of animals and hunt all the time, he'll help Severus a lot with Harry!hawk in future chapters. And the next one's up now!
Author's Response: I agree and that's why I wanted him to have a bit more of a role here, with Severus and later with Harry as a hawk. Thanks for reviewing!
Good writing. I like the story. It would be interesting to see Snape, the hawk, and Hagrid all together. Will Harry regain at least some of his knowledge of himself and others, or will that have to wait until he becomes human again? After all, as animagi Sirius, McGonagall, and Rita all retain their human knowledge. Author's Response: He did, and I took it and expanded upon that. Hagrid's been around a long time at the school, he would know a lot about the students just from being there, listening to them talk and watching how they behave around each other, more so than the professors, because the students tend to behave well around teachers for the most part. You will see Harry the hawk, Hagrid, and Sev together in a few chapters, as Harry's wings mend and Severus takes him outside. He will, eventually, but it's gradual, it'll come back in bits and pieces at first and then he'll recall loads of things, but he'll stay a hawk for the majority of the story even with most of his memories until something happens to make him turn human again, and I can't tell you what it is, it will ruin the ending!
Great chapter! Your story is really picking up speed. I really like the new take on Snape's relationship with Hagrid, I don't think I've ever read one like that before. Good job!! Looking forward to your next chapter. Author's Response: Good i like to explore uncharted territory, so to speak and I wanted to give Hagrid and Severus a chance to be friends, i think that they do well together, as both have known deep loss and been taunted and all. Thanks for reviewing and the next chapter's been posted already. |
