Title: Chapter 30 - Weakening Foundations 22 Jan 2011 9:39 pm
Reviewer: shadowienne (Signed) [Report This]
    Wow! So MUCH going on in this chapter! I loved the contrast between subjects of dinner conversations between the Malfoys and the Snapes!

    And a wonderfully-detailed exposition of the Black family and the interactions between the three sisters-- this is the first time I've ever seen anyone tackle that particular subject, and you did a magnificent job! Descriptions, emotions, characterizations-- WONDERFUL throughout!

    Then there's Lucius' descriptions of false friends who only keep you around until you are no longer useful to them-- BOY, have I been victimized by people like that multiple times through the years. Even though it's Lucius who is doing the telling, and I NEVER thought I'd be in agreement with HIM, he's absolutely correct in THEORY, if not in application to the Weasleys.

    And Dumbledore spying on Sev and Ophelia-- tsk tsk! I couldn't quite understand at first WHY Sev thought someone was there, unless he had a sixth sense of being watched, until you explained about the muffled sound. Whoa! Just goes to show what TALENT he has at discerning something so nebulous as a difference in sound, which most of us would never even register. AMAZING!

    Sorry it took me so long to review this chapter again. I tried on my phone when you first posted, and the review didn't post, so I decided to try again from the library computer. Can't wait for the next update! :-)

    Author's Response: Now, it's my turn to apologize for the delay in responding to your review!  So sorry!  Thank you for your review!  I'm thrilled you enjoyed the chapter, and especially the Black Family section.  Lucius is correct about people using others.  Everyone does it at some point.  (And as I've mentioned before several times, the Malfoy Family - considering them as one big complex character here - are my favorites in the whole series.)  I'm hoping to write several chapters before I post the next few so it may take a little while.  Hope to hear from you again.  Thanks, again for your review!  SOrry it took me so long to respond! ~ RK
Title: Chapter 31 - Shattered Visions 22 Jan 2011 7:53 am

    A kinder, gentler Lucius? I don't know if it will prove to be a permanent change in his character, but it was fascinating to see him practically groveling to Ophelia! And, oh, the INTRIGUE of Draco's Seer Dream-- wonder who those other people were?! And a silver butterfly Patronus-- I'll be trying to figure out who the caster is! Terrific chapter! Also loved the section with Remus and his family! (And wondering what they might think of Tonks...!)

    Author's Response: Unfortunately, we will not see Remus's parents' reactions to Tonks...  Hope it's not a huge blow.  There will be more to Draco's dreams in the coming chapters.  There is some good stuff I have planned.  Thanks for another review.  Again, so sorry it took so long to respond.  ~ RK
Title: Chapter 10 - Catalyst of Concession 20 Dec 2010 2:25 am

    Sorry but no. It simply isn't realistic, to put it mildly, that suddenly oh let's get Severus married because ... whatever. OC's of this kind never ever fit and they are always completely pointless. Too bad, seemed like an excellent story. Best of luck.

    Author's Response:

    I would be lying if I were to say that I am not disappointed in losing a reader.  However, considering that you immediately judge an original character before having actually met said character seems to be a premature reason for not continuing with a story which gave off an initially excellent impression.  While I do understand the caution of a reader when encountering original characters, it is a little harsh and extremely judgmental to dismiss such a character as pointless without having read anything about the character as a character.  As indicated in the notes, she is not romantically attached to any of the characters.  She functions in plot and in the interactions of other characters, and serves a completely logical function to the story's events.  Had you chosen to continue, that would have become apparent.  I'm sorry you feel that way and have chosen to discontinue reading.  However, thank you for leaving a review. ~ RK

    I really like the bonding between Ophelia and Tevin. Really love the story and can't wait to read more, and the sequal. Going to be interesting watching them at Hogwarts as students.

    Author's Response: Yes, it will be interesting indeed. Glad you liked the bonding scene.  I'm trying to write as much as I can.  Doing my best.  Glad you're still reading!  Thanks for reviewing!  ~ RK
Title: Chapter 25 - Halloween Secrets - Part III 11 Aug 2010 9:52 pm

    in a previous chapter you had Sirius say that when he wnt to Godric's Hollow that he was the one who had o close James' eyes, but in this capter you have Severus doing it~ (Severus reached out to close James's dead eyes). just thought id point it out, if it was a mistake.

    Author's Response: Wow!  Thank you so much for pointing that out.  It was indeed a mistake.  There's so much to keep track of that I miss some things.  Thank you.  I fixed it.  I got rid of Sirius doing that, and kept it as Severus.  Thank you for your review!  ~ RK
Title: Chapter 27 - Introduction to Potions 09 Aug 2010 7:00 am
Reviewer: shadowienne (Anonymous) [Report This]
    Wow! So much action in this chapter! My fave sections were Tonks & Lupin, and the ending, where poor Tevin has to make that promise without knowing the reason behind it all. But he loves his daddy, so he goes along with it. Sigh... When will he learn the truth? Tune in next time-- or the time after that?!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Lupin & Tonks were VERY fun to write.  I liked them.  Yes, Tevin may not exactly know why he had to make that promise to his father, but by now he knows that his father usually has a reason.  As for when he learns the truth?  Well, we'll just have to wait and see.  Thank you for reviewing!  ~ RK

    I'm interested! I've spent all day today rereading your lovely story so I could fully understand this newest update.

    Please? *puppy eyes*

    Author's Response: Aww, I'm glad you are still interested.  (And also impressed and pleasantly surprised you reread the whole thing up to now.)  I have every intention of finishing this story.  Should wrap up in ten chapters or so.  Hope you stick around and leave your thoughts again.  Thanks for reviewing!  ~ RK

    Gulp!
    so still interested

    Author's Response: Oh, yay!  I'm glad you are still interested!  I'm working on the next chapter.  I hope to get it done relatively soon.  This story should wrap up in at least another ten chapters.  I need to lastly figure out exactly what needs to get done first before I end this story.  Hope you continue to read!  Thanks for reviewing! ~ RK
Title: Chapter 26 - Consequence of Persuasion 31 May 2010 5:21 pm

    I haven't found any really good child fics in a while. I've read just about every one that is on this site. I like the way your story is going. Can't wait to see what the boys' punishments are. I like how you make your own spells and explain them even if they aren't your own. I got tired of authors writing about spells as if everyone knows Latin.

    Update soon.

    Author's Response: Well, thank you.  I don't even know Latin, just struggling to cross reference and ask people for translation help.  So, I feel it is very necessary to explain my spells that I come up with, especially ones that need the translation for plot purposes.  Glad you find them useful.  Thanks for reading and also for reviewing!  ~ RK
