Reviews For Broken Wings
Author's Response: Thanks so much! When I first posted this, some people complained that I was changing too much, but IMO that's what an AU is-- a different universe with a different plot and different characters.
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: Yes, I agree. Everytime I was sick my cat always made me feel better. That may yet happen. Yes, it will, but it has to happen. No, neither do I. She's a health care professional and she would know how to deal with crotchety patients and I don't think she would be ignorant of what Severus was doing or how he got the scars and injuries. She would have to know because nobody just shows up suffering from a Cruciatus Curse multiple times for NO REASON. Plus Severus might be willing to trust her over everyone else, except maybe Hagrid, because of her confidentiality oath.
Author's Response: Haha! Thanks, I thought they were pretty funny myself. Glad we share the same sense of humor.
Author's Response: Aww that's so sad! I hate it when pets die, though you're right, all animals go to heaven. Thanks for reading.
Author's Response: Thanks and yes, they are! Just keep reading!
but it also feels like it's set in some strange parallel dimension where there are people with the same names as in canon, but are completely different people. The only one that feels close to being himself is Snape. Author's Response: Well, it is an AU universe, but I thought that Umbridge, Draco, Ron, Sirius, Lupin and Voldemort stayed pretty close to their canon counterparts. Dumbledore was well-meaning if maniplative just the way he's revealed to be in DH. Harry and Severus undergo a necessary transformation due to each discovering the other's pasts and bonding with each other. The only ones I really went out a limb with were Hagrid, because I don't like the way he's portrayed in the books as being a kind yet dimwitted individual--the stereotypical "giant" and it was the same with Crabbe, the "big dumb kid who hangs around the smart Malfoy". I felt that Mlafoy didn't really need them as friends, he was just using them, he always reminded me of a spoiled Mafia don's son. Trelawney is another that I felt needed a make-over, so i made her less ditzy and more like a real Seer such as Cassandra. Hopefully you enjoyed the story despite the differences, which were done to make it unique and to stand out from the dozens of other Harry-Snape mentor stories out there. Thank you for reading.
Author's Response: Thanks so much1 and I hope you like the rest of it. Hagrid will be in this quite a bit in this story.
Author's Response: Thanks so much1 I loved writing a different sort of Hagrid one who had more of a role to play than in canon.
I'm going off to read the sequel! Author's Response: Thanks and you will see more of them in the sequel! |
