Reviews For Where Once Was Light
Harry should be proud of himself. He did really well in potions, even with Neville as a partner. Kudos! Hopefully, this will raise both of their confidence a bit. If only for Harry's sake, Severus should consider the matter of godfather-ship in regards to Sirius. However, I feel that it should be dependent upon his behavior. Severus has every right to expect Sirius to treat him with respect. Great chapter! Author's Response: Thanks! And Minerva's going to be stepping up in this story. She's a bit put out with Dumbles to put it lightly. And Harry and Neville SHOULD feel proud of themselves! I thought they deserved a confidence buster. And you'll see how Sev handles the whole godfather thing later. But I still believe Sev has every right to withhold the right if he sees fit. Sirius can be a bit wild after all. Thanks so much for the review!!
Author's Response: Well, that's not who I was thinking of, but I give you the points anyway. I was thinking of J.R.R Tolkien, but yay for finding someone else too! And yes, Ron's being a prat, but he'll learn soon enough. Thanks for the review!
You did a wonderful job of portraying Sev's description of his feelings. It was heart-wrenching. Bravo. Now if we can just find some LASTING happiness for our boys. Looking forward to your next update. V. Author's Response: I know, Neville needed some love and attention I think. He is Gryffindor brave, even if it doesn't really show all the time. And Thanks. I really wanted Snape's big emotional outburst to really show everything he felt. Our boys won't be happy too much in this fic, I'm afraid, at least not for very long...oh, you'll see later. Thanks for the review!
i cant wait for the next one! Hopefully ron will come around soon. Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it. And Ron will come around...eventually...but thanks for reading!
It would suck if Snape couldn't at least be civil to Sirius for Harry's sake. I hope Ron becomes less hostile soon. Is Harry still going to be forced to compete in the Tri-Wizard? I always thought it was stupid for a minor (under 17) to be forced to be held to a magically binding contract without parental/guardian consent. I think in the book Albus could have easily gotten Harry out of it if he was acting In Loco Parentis (in place of parent). But since Snape is his father, HE could prevent Harry from competing. Author's Response: Yep! Neville rocks, Ron's still being a prat, and Sev and Sirius are not going to get along for a while. But everything will work out in the end I think. Don't worry about that. And yes, the Triwizard Tournament is coming up, and although it is stupid that a minor should compete, Severus can't really stand up from Harry as they don't want people to know they're father and son yet. (Plus it wouldn't be as good a story if Harry didn't compete) But you'll see how it turns out soon. Thankd for the review! :D
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it. I thought Neville needed some spotlight time, and Harry needed a friend. Thanks for the review! :D
Oh, and I wonder what Draco is up to. I think I know what Nott's problem is; he's got a crush on that girl that Harry was partnered with. I thought that it was so sweet that Harry took Neville under his wing, and that they both did so well. Oh and Severus' comments about Neville were hilarious. I feel so bad for Harry about Sirius though. I really do hope that Severus changes his mind about making Sirius Harry's Godfather again. It would be wrong of him to take Sirius away from his son. There is no one else that Harry is that close to, and Harry will resent Severus for it, down the road. I hope that Severus comes to that conclusion eventually. Great chapter Ivy. Chock full of raw emotion and angst! Beautifully written too. January third, not sure, but Snape's birthday is January 9th!! I should make him a cake. Oh...but Snape would probably throw it in my face! Happy Birthday Ivy!! Is it YOUR birthday? Here's a cake for you. And do I get five points? Author's Response: Thanks Pandora! But it's not my birthday quite yet. Mine's Feb 9th, one month after Sev...I should make him a cake too, and if he does throw it back in your face, at least you get all of it and don't have to share! ^_^ And you can get five points for the yummy yummy cake! But the other person with a January 3 birthday is probably my all time favorite author, J.R.R Tolkien. Nice try, and very good cake. But I'm glad you liked Severus's emotions. I wanted to show just how hard he had taken the news of Dumble's betrayal and just what he was going through to make him fly off the handle with Sirius. And I didn't want him weeping all over the place, especially with Minerva. I don't think he could have lived with himself after that. But at least he apologized to Harry (which is a big step) And yep! You guessed it. Poor Nott's besotted and doesn't want to tell anyone. It's gunna come in handy later...plus I just thought it would be cute to have a little bit of some romance in this. And you'll see what Draco's up to later. He's still thinking over what his mother told him over the summer. And I did think Harry needed someone to hang around with since Hermione's busy trying to get Ron to stop acting like a prat. And yeah, Severus just REALLY does not want Harry around Sirius. He has some good reasons for it, but ultimately he just hates Sirius. He can't change that easily. But I've got a plan for all of this too, not to worry. Thanks so much for the awesome review!...and the cake! Five points to you for the cake!! How'd you know I like chocolate cake? Anywho, thanks again!! :D (oh, and I still think your last chappie of Sparks Will Fly was brilliant! Can't wait for more!! )
I look forward to reading more! -P.G. Author's Response: Well, Harry's doesn't quite know what to think at the moment, and he was so nervous seeing his father in class that he hasn't quite grasped the whole situation completely. Plus there's the fact that that morning he had been afraid that Snape was in the hospital or something after talking to Draco. But on the whole, he is a pretty tough character. Thanks for reading, P.G.!!
I'm so glad Harry's first potions class of the year went well. I totally couldn't resist that one. Also, yay for father-son time. I was missing that between Harry and Sev, and I hope they'll have more opportunities in the near future. Draco and Theo are rather interesting... I'm curious to see what they're up to, if anything. Go Minerva! Sev needed someone to blow off steam to. When you mentioned that Severus felt like stomping his foot like a first year, I totally sympathized with him. I was in a horrible mood when I went to work today and totally stomped my foot when I was assigned something I didn't want to do. lol. Oops. I totally need a vacation, or just be able to hole up for a week and actually get enough sleep. Great chapter, Ivy, and I can't wait for more. :) Author's Response: Yay! Five points to you, Ella! Good job! And Yep, father-son time made a come back. I needed to get some other things out of the way before coming back to it. And they'll get more time to bond a bit later on. After all, the Triwizard Tournament's coming up... And Draco's thinking over a few things while Nott's action are a bit more...harmless. And yep! Minerva's totally awesome in this. Severus needed to vent I think. But sorry you had a bad day. Oops on the stomping bit. Oh well, as long as no one sees it...(I've done it too) But my major flaw is I tend to either be really sarcastic when I'm mad or if I have to be quiet, I roll my eyes a lot. But you can roll your eyes or stomp your feet if you want, whatever makes you happy! ^_^ But maybe you should try sleeping, I hear it's good for you. ;) Thanks for another great review Ella! Still awaiting your update too!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! And you're right, I did just write. I wanted it to sound exactly how I felt, and I desperately wanted to portray the emotions and the image I had in my head. I'm very glad it turned out all right then. Thanks so much for the lovely review! |
