Reviewer: Pellegrina (Anonymous) [Report This]
    Loved it, really loved it - the whole story!!! You are a brilliant writer and I enjoyed your take on "time travel to the Marauder era" quite a lot! It was positively original! And your insight into the characters was both unique and genuine (I especially liked how you described Pettygrew and both sides of the Marauders!!!) and still IC where it was possible.
    I would like to see a sequel - maybe sse how the changes in the perspectives of all involved could alter the way certain people act towards each other. And I'd like to see how this matured version of Harry would interact with a (slightly) changed Snape, and even how Harry's interaction with the two remaining Marauders might be influenced by his stay in the past. But I don't know whether you have any plans in that direction.
    Anyway, thank you so much for sharing - I really enjoyed the reading!

    Author's Response: Well, it's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed it so much! I'm thinking about doing a companion piece where there are snippets of Snape in the first person - to tell his side of the story and what he thought of it... may take a while though, as I've recently been attacked by several rabid plot bunnies that refuse to leave me alone! But anyway, I don't think I'm done with this universe yet, so I'll hopefully end up adding something to it eventually. Thank you for your kind review!

    Very nice story. Snape (both of them) are very IC, which is tough to do. I really like that Harry had the opportunity to meet his parents and see them as they were at 15.

    Author's Response: Thank you! A more canon Snape was certainly difficult to write, but more rewarding I found (and it's wonderful to hear that you liked BOTH of them). I'm really glad that you enjoyed reading this!

    Well done! I loved the pranks and Snape was truly in character the entire time.

    Great read. Thank you.

    Author's Response: Thank you! I did like writing a more canon Snape for once, and the pranks... well, we all have a bit of silliness in us, don't we? :D

    Really, really great story. I loved the relationship you built between Harry and Snape and all without any schmaltzy OOC moments. The past marauders were great too, and loved the hopeful ending!

    Author's Response: Thank you! A slightly more canon Snape was certainly refreshing to write for once - I'll have to add him in more often. The Marauders were hard to keep in character at first, but they fell into place as soon as I let Sirius go a bit batty! Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

    Wonderful story--I really enjoyed it! I thought the spells you used for pranking were very original and the writing was very genuine. I was sad that Harry had to go back, but I'm glad that he's found a mentor in Snape. This is very well written and definitely one of my favorite fics of this fest. Excellent work!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Thank you - that's wonderful to hear! And thank you for all your lovely reviews - they made my day!

    Wonderful story to read. I liked how you blended the past characters with the present and I love how you did the past Snape and present Snape especially.

    Author's Response: Thank you - I had hoped I'd got the balance right, but I suppose you never really know until you post! I'm glad you liked the two Snapes, I really enjoyed writing those two.

    Hmm, I did wonder why wouldn't old Tom just legilimize Harry and be over with it.

    Also, Severus comes more like 'eye for an eye' out of his actions towards Harry than anything, not until the end, and Harry seems not to notice it (even if we, the readers, know better, heh).

    But, well, that was an enjoyable piece overall. You can give yourself a solid pat on the back for it *grins*

    Author's Response:

    JKR's 'Legilimency-Occlumency' idea always seemed a bit of a convenient plot point to me, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. Of course, if you like it, you could always imagine that Voldy hasn't fully learnt that particular discipline just yet... after all, it does sound a bit complicated and not something you can learn overnight.

    Oh well, Harry can't be rational all the time, I suppose :D - and he DID more or less figure it out in the end!

    Anyway, I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing!

    Well, you SHOULD be pleased with the results. It was bloody brilliant ! Mila, I loved the "Fruit Salad" spell; too funny!

    Aw, I want more of this. It was great.

    Author's Response: Heh - oh, all right, I'll ignore my inner critic for once... I'll let Mila know you liked her idea! And, as I said earlier, I AM considering what I might like to write for a sequel (but don't get your hopes up just yet, my muses are terribly fickle). I'm really glad you enjoyed it all - and thanks for all of your reviews!

    I love this. I loved the way you played with the past, how dour your Snape stayed, how everything fit together so beautifully (lilly lost the necklace in sixth year)
    GREAT!

    Author's Response:

    Oh, dour Snape was great fun for me to write for a change - he's so much more interesting that the softer and squishier version of him, I think. I'm glad you liked him! And the little plot point with the necklace was something I couldn't resist putting in - I was originally going to do something with the Marauders map, but I think the necklace is better. Anyway, I'm really happy you enjoyed this!
