Reviews For A Strange Turn of Events
The other aspect it makes me think of is Dumbledore, a man who's sister was killed when she accidentally showed muggles her magic. And Dumbledore too, turned against muggles because of it before boomeranging back to his conscious. Just two neat connections I noticed (not sure if you had too). Kudos!
Anyways, I loved the story-line with Salazar, and the four founders-not many people choose to venture to their time, and I liked seeing Salazar in a different light. It was also interesting seeing Harry and Snape in more of an "adventure" setting, I thought that built their relationship well. Fantastic job as usual!

More good came from this too.; Harry and Sev's new understanding and relationship. Yet another bonus is Sirius is alive thanks to their success in Occlumency! *cheers* It's all good ^_^ hehe. P.S. Two things though; they never did speak with Godric, and Gamp’s Law of Transfiguration conflicts with Sev’s food conjuring. But, since it all worked out in the end and this is AU… *shrug* Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, I couldn't really reconcile the basilisk with this Salazar Slytherin either, unless it actually had some other purpose for being in the castle other than to destroy Muggleborns (Kind of a crazy way to go about that anyway, wasn't it? Couldn't purebloods just as easily have been killed or petrified? Does the basilisk distinguish between them or was it just that submissive to the Heir of Slytherin?). So anyway, I just ignored the whole basilisk thing and didn't let it have anything to do with this story. And yes, I was happy to let Sirius live, too. Hmm, that could be an interesting idea for a story...Severus being Harry's guardian and Sirius being alive and having to deal with it, the two of them having to learn to adjust to their places in Harry's life...Well, maybe someday. Yeah, the Godric bit was just a mistake on my part while Gamp's Law about the food was another thing I just decided to ignore. It is an AU, after all, as you say!
Author's Response: Thank you! I've just updated SC after too long of a break!

I would have thought it would be just as dangerous for Muggle-borns when accidental magic occurred. At least being taught (and being obedient) would be the safer option. Just a couple of things...there was no tea in in Britain in 1032, nor were there spectacles. I am sure you knew that though and you have made it so for the purposes of the story. Lesley~
So, Salazar was a git right from the beginning, huh? Godric and Rowena sound just perfect and Rowena a tad haughty in her glorious beauty. Can't wait to see what happens next. Lesley~
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, it does seem to happen the other way often, doesn't it? Though Severus did find out more about Harry's old life, too, through his own dreams...I just didn't go into a lot of detail with that. Thanks again! I hope you have another chapter of your wonderful story "Tightrope" up soon, too, lol!
Author's Response: Thank you, Tabitha! I love your stories too, and did a little birdie tell me you're working on ch. 6 now? I really hope so! |
