Reviews For Broken Wings
Poor Harry to find out this way... I'm glad he had Fawkes to comfort him and to chat with before hand. --his
Author's Response: Yeah, I know what you mean. No, Albus wasn't as bad when Fawkes first chose him, but he has since tried to play a game that he has made mistakes at and hasn't been able to correct them. You'll see more of Fawkes later on.
Author's Response: Thanks! Now don;t forget to read the rest!
what did he hope to achieve by creating a false prophecy? It was obviously not the deaths of Lily and James. As you said, DD did not realise that the Potters and Longbottoms were due to give birth at the end of July. And there are horcruxes in your story, so it would have been pointless ambushing and killing Volde. Questions, questions, questions! Fawkes was great. I had a feeling he might relise that there was much more to Freedom. Lesley~ Author's Response: Not necessarily, Harry has forgiven many things in the past. This was to put a new twist on the old prophecy, and also to show that even the greatest mind can make a huge blunder. This is DD's big guilty secret, instead of the Grindelwald conspiracy in DH. The reason for the false prophecy was " but sought a way to buy time, he was moving too fast and we could not protect all the Muggles and Muggleborns or blood traitors he was targeting. You remember, you were reporting back a raid almost every night back then . . .and sometimes multiple ones in the same day or week. The Order could not handle all the attacks, nor protect everyone and people were dying every time I turned around . . .You nearly died when he found out you had been involved with Lily in your fifth year, Severus. . . He had always been obsessed with prophecy, even as a student. It was his weakness. He wanted to believe it was destiny foretold for him to rule Britain, or eventually the world. I thought if I played upon that weakness, exploited it, he would be made vulnerable . . .I wanted him thrown off balance, made afraid, that's why Sybill and I concocted the prophecy in the first place." At the time, DD did not know of the Horcruxes. No one did. That was Voldemort's failsafe. DD only suspected after Voldemort's supposed demise and the rumors that he wasn't truly dead, the belief that the DE had that someday he would rise again. It was only much later that Dumbledore gained proof that Voldemort had created Horcruxes. And even with the Horcruxes, destroying Voldy body will set him back for a good long time, it took him eleven years to come back from the last time. That's the whole key to defeating him, destroying the body and then destroying the soul in the Horcruxes. Fawkes was a sudden addition to this, he appeared and said I want to be in it too, and so he became an advisor to Freedom/Harry.
Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
I can't believe it! It was a fake prophecy all along?! I love this twist. It is so wonderful and original. Dumbledore is in really big trouble now. ;-} I always wondered why Dumbledore seemed to do little to nothing about Umbrige "taking over" the school. This really gives a little more background to it. So Severus took wizarding law huh? It would be interesting to know why. Did he need it because he was going to do/had done his mastery and he would be creating new potions and needed to know how to get copyrights? I would love to see that little bit of history expanded. ;-} I loved Fawkes, I hope that he will make another appearance in the story. ;-} About the sequels, I understand about having to finish one story before starting to work on another. I just wanted to ask. ;-} I hope you are having/had a good Easter. Leilia Author's Response: Great, I'm glad you liked my twist, it came upon me all of a sudden. Yes, Harry is very PO'd at Dumbles right now, and Albus better watch out. Yes, Severus did take some law classes, you'll find out more about that a little later. Fawkes might make a repeat appearance when necessary. I had a great easter, thank you! Hope you enjoy the next bit!
Author's Response: Well, not just yet. There a few more things Freedom needs to learn about Severus himself and he still wants to try and help his friends beat Umbridge, but there will come a time when he has to reveal himself. In about three chapters, if I stick to my original plan. Hope you like the next part!
Author's Response: Oh good, i wasn't sure if someone had done that before. Fawkes popped up one day and said 'put me in here, Harry needs me' and I was like 'okay' and so here's the wise phoenix. No, Dumbledore deserves a bit of sympathy too--he made a dreadful error in judgment, both past and present, and it may never be forgiven by the two it affects most--Snape and Harry. I've just posted the Sev/Lily chapter, BTW!
Author's Response: Thanks, I loved writing Fawkes, he was a last minute addition to the chapter that I think worked really well. I'll need to go and review your chapter now!
~Frosty Author's Response: True, but well, you'll see how it all works out! Thanks for reading! |
