Reviews For Vows II: Duty
Can't wait to see what happens when he realises that Sirius IS the black dog!
Author's Response: Well done, you are the third correct person to guess. A box of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans to you!
Author's Response: Very good! As the second person to guess correctly, you can head over to Honeydukes and buy a box of Chocolate Frogs!
Is it from Dick Whittington's Cat? Or something from Dickens? Author's Response: I'll post the answer with the next chapter. BTW, I do remember Tickle Me Elmo - which is why I was cracking up. When my daughter and her cousins were tiny (4 and under), my sister got all four of them tickle me elmos. The youngest who was just over a year old would grab all of them, start them all up in a pile and throw himself on top of them - all 4 elmos and my nephew giggling madly, which just set the rest of us off.
Pyewackit, without googling, reminds me of the name of the cat in an old movie I'd seen long ago called Bell, Book and Candle. Now I've got to go google to see if I remembered correctly! Author's Response: You are correct! In my universe, it is Lily's favorite movie and thus it is totally apropos that she name her cat after another magical cat. Good job! Go to Honeydukes and collect your chocolate cauldrons! Munch 'em at the premier.
It's so cute the relationship between Sirius and Crookshanks. I wonder if Severus will open up to Harry about why he doesn't like Lupin. Nice chapter. Looking forward to the next.
I loved the part about the two boys sliding down the bannisters--I used to do that when I was a kid with my nieces in my basement. We used to put huge pillows from our couch at the bottom and slid down onto them over and over. It was such fun! Until our parents caught us and made us quit. I also like how you give Crookshanks a bigger role in this story and made him Harry's pet as well as Hermione's. Author's Response: It's not so much that Severus couldn't have kept the Slytherins mostly in line; he's Severus Snape, of course he could - but he can't be everywhere at once. Draco is also, if nothing else, wanting to save his hide. This was Draco's decision to be resorted, it was his solution to the problem at hand - knowing his most likely prospect would have been to be sent to his brother's dorm or the Ravenclaw tower. He just couldn't forsee having to spend the next 5 years walking on eggshells around his own common room, nor having to constantly rely on his father to bail him out. He keeps his dignity this way and reduces the chances that Nott and gang would terrorise him. Yeah, I used to do the same thing, sliding down the bannister, or taking a large pillow and surf down the stairs. Now THAT was fun! Crooks is still Hermione's, he's just reveling in the fact that he's found Harry again. But he still considers Hermione his owner. She IS the one who feeds him. ;-)
I love that he made friends with Luna. I'm glad that Draco's happy now though. That is so cute that Crookshanks was the Potter's cat when he was just a kitten, and remembers Harry's scent from when he was a baby. I'm really looking forward to your next update. i'm so glad that you are writing a sequel for Vows.
Author's Response: He possibly could have, but the points reduction would have meant they would have made it worse for Draco, and Severus can't be everywhere at once, nor could Draco go around on tip-toes among his former mates all the time. This was his solution - it was up to him as to whether he wanted to be resorted or not. Severus would have supported him either way. |
