Reviews For Broken Wings
Author's Response: yes, we'll miss Freedom, although freedom is also Harry and just because he's not a hawk doesn't mean his personality alters.
Author's Response: Yes, I know, but we do need Harry back eventually. Though I love him as Freedom a lot! Yes, he did need a break and so did Severus, but once he returns, maybe they can find a way to help each other.
Author's Response: Thank you and I hope you like the next chapter!
Two weeks, does that mean..? Le gasp. I hope you don't make Harry's return to humanity too angsty. Author's Response: well, there has to be some angst, since it's teenage Harry, you know1 And a very shocked and sarcastic vulnerable Severus. But things should work out.
Author's Response: Thanks and hope you like the next one that's been posted!
KUDOS!!! Author's Response: Hi! thanks for reading so much so fast! I do try and update frequently, so the reader doesn't lose the flow of the story and have to re-read. Glad you're enjoying this and I've updated again!
Author's Response: Thanks! You're right, Sev is very happy at having found a familiar he can relate to and he doesn't even realize that Harry's beens sending him subliminal messages all along. Yes, even Severus Snape allows himself to care once in awhile and then watch what happens!
Author's Response: Thanks! I loved it when he flew, it was exhilerating writing it. Harry will be regaining his memories, most of them, two chapters after this.
Author's Response: Thanks! Hope you enjoy the next one!
Harry has the sense of true loyalty that his mother seemed, to me, a bit short on. (I saw many signs that she simply wasn't that good of a friend to Severus. She wasn't Gryffindor enough to decisively put an end to Marauder bullying, for one--Hermione certainly would have managed it!! And Hermione *certainly* wouldn't have started dating one of the two prats most responsible for doing it, without definitive proof *from the victim* that it had stopped! Grrr.) Harry’s learned about loyalty and its value the hard way, so it stuck. Come hell, high water or even Snape’s own exploding temper, I believe Harry will now defend him to the death--and even from Ron’s bad-mouthing. Which ought to provide some entertaining verbal fireworks, and a properly stunned look on Snape’s face if he witnesses it! Especially if it’s in the Great Hall, during dinner--with the whole school watching! ::snicker:: That would certainly set Albus to twinkling at super-nova brightness! Hmmm...Albus is going to be rather put out to realize that Sev's familiar, who's been so...antagonistic to him, was really *Harry* all along, isn't he. I just hope he hasn't really been aware of the Dursleys' treatment of Harry. It seems like you've set him up more as the willfully blind but good at heart type, doing what he feels he has to, and desperate to not think about the "little" consequences. The eternal optimist, who can’t understand that sometimes their own family can hurt a child worse than anyone else--sometimes even physically... Personally, I tend to prefer that treatment of the character, as opposed to the evil/manipulative type of Headmaster who arranges for all the bad stuff to happen to Harry, and even Snape, in an effort to shape people as he needs. Though when done well, that can be interesting, too. I like learning about things in a story, too, as you’re teaching us with falconry. It’s not gratuitous, thrown-in filler; it’s necessary to explain Snape and Freedom’s process of bonding. ::hunkers down to wait eagerly for the next chapter:: Author's Response: It will, believe me, as soon as Sev calms down enough to think rationally, that is. Harry does, and I agree, in canon, Lily dumps Severus awful quick for being his best friend, surely she should understand that he was embarrassed and said something he didn;t mean, and yet when he comes to apologize, all she does is rag on him about the "new crowd" he's hanging out with. Well, what about the bullies she starts to hang out with? You're right about Hermione, she would have beaten up all the Marauders and stuck by her friend, so maybe Severus would see that he still had someone who cared about him and didn't need Lucius's lackeys to feel wanted. Harry will defend Sev to the death, as soon as he gets over the shock of relaizing who's care he has been in and how good it was. And there will be a scene where Harry and Ron go at it once Harry is restored to himself. And in public too! can't wait to write that part! Yes, Albus has been willfully blind to what harry endured at the Dursleys, he didn't know what went on. But there is something else dark in the Headmaster's past that will shock you, you'll see once we get up to that part. Dumbledore made a very big mistake and it's going to come back to haunt him in more ways than one. I'm glad you enjoy my little lessons on falconry, and you're right, knowing that is necessary to explain Freedom and Severus's bond. The next chapter is up! |
