Reviews For Antonomasia
Don't think I am sorted. But I imagine I would be a Hufflepuff. I'm not brave, sly and ambitious. or scarily brainy. *I can hear you sniggering, so stop. We need Puff's to keep the rest of the herd honest.* Lesley~ Lesley~ Author's Response: Wouldn’t dream of sniggering! I disagree as I think you are incredibly smart and brave and ambitious (I wouldn’t call you sly but I bet you are in the best, kindest possible way ^-^) and we definitely need Puffs to keep the rest of us honest, despite you being so very flattering it can hardly be called honesty for its kindness ^-^ - your points will of course be added to the Puffs... GO PUFFS! ^^ (despite my being a Raven... (haha not for the smarts, I just read too much so I wouldn’t be able to resist a common room/library ^^) I just want everyone to win ^^) And good guess!!! Lots of points to you (you’ll have Hufflepuff winning soon ^^)
Just wondering why Ron didn't notice Harry's back when he put his cloak around Harry's shoulders. I know it was dark, the only light the full moon, and Harry was squished into a corner with his back against the wall, but still... I suppose Ron is pretty oblivious a fair bit of the time, but surely he wondered why Harry was sitting in a freezing bathroom, shirtless. And so very out of it. Surely physical injury had to have crossed his mind. Also, he surely would have noticed something when he put Harry to bed. I gather that when HArry cleaned up his vomitus, he would have spelled his sheets clean too, because they would have been covered in blood and serum and the beginnings of puss. Despite everything, Ron was brilliant in this chapter. I loved it when he asked Harry in Divinatiton if he (Harry) was finished trying avoiding him. I gather that McGonagall's dark mood is due to Umbridge's ever increasing hold over the school. And I know she was distracted too, but if even Ron realised in Trelawney's incense-filled and shadowed classroom just how unwell HArry looked, why couldn't McGonagall see it when she must have been right in his face telling him off? Or was she admonishing Harry while she shuffled papers and got ready to leave the classroom herself. All I can say is that all of these oblivious teachers are going to feel really, really guilty when they realise just how sick Harry is. And I am sure he is going to get a whole lot sicker before he finally collapses. Lesley Author's Response: So good to hear from you! I hoped everything was okay (and of course that the unthinkable hadn’t happened and that you hadn’t jumped ship... shock horror!!! ^^) – I’d say lucky you to have two chapters of a fic to read but *sigh*, it is mine and all I can promise is two extra chapters of angsty, almost-cuddly crap TT – very sorry (at least we’re oh so close to the cuddling ^^... although people seem to like the end of chapter 13 so I guess there’s that ^^) I think to an extent, Ron’s the type not to think about things from the angle that we would because we know exactly what’s been happening to Harry while Ron just has vague concerns about his health... and Ron grew up very differently to Harry (which I always seem to have in the back of my head and probably effects my writing more than I realise ^^) and probably wouldn’t be able to fathom the thought of not going to a loving parent if a teacher was abusing him the way Harry would. Ron doesn’t realise that things are as bad as they are but he’s slowly getting to the point where realising it has to become inevitable. And it will be a shock when he does realise just how much he’s missed simply because he wasn’t looking properly for all his good intentions (possibly why Hermione’s getting so irritated... she is much more down-to-earth sometimes, as ambiguously as I’ve written it it’s hugely possible that she suspects far more than him in terms of just how bad life is for Harry... and I’m gonna pull myself off that tangent now ^^ but thanks for letting me gush, it’s always easier to write after going over this kinda stuff with you *hugs and muffins and cookies for you!!!* ^^) – oh, and in terms of detail... I’ve seen people – friends – miss a hell of a lot simply because they didn’t think to look and/or didn’t want to see, the thought that Ron could miss that much wouldn’t surprise me. (but then I’ve known some pretty... umm... not-so-perceptive types... too cynical? ^^) You’re right, McGonagall’s distracted because of Umbridge (and really, working with someone like that would be enough to distract anyone >.<) but she’s been making a particular nuisance of herself when it comes to McGonagall so the woman is perpetually... unhappy... now ^^ - and thanks for pointing it out, it reminded me to include something I’d forgotten ^^ *muffins!!!!!!!!* I seem to be either really good or really, really bad at writing obliviousness... to the point that it’s kind of unbelievable... sorry about that, I think I grew up with one too many oblivious adults in my life *rolls eyes* you wouldn’t believe the crap we could get away with all through school cos our teachers didn’t care. And they may well feel guilty for it in the end but luckily there will be ways they can make amends ^-^ hopefully you enjoyed your reading and welcome back!!! *MORE MUFFINS!!!* ^^
Author's Response: Thank you! More soon, promise ^^
Author's Response: oh, four days isn’t too early at all but I think you’d be a bit angry with me if you had sent a review every four days... sorry, this wait cant have been fun if you were antsy so soon – not long now, have your popcorn ready ^-^ - *hands you blueberry muffins* ^^
Hoped Severus would catch Umbridge at her foul work and hex her but I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed he still does! Thank you for updating Author's Response: Thank you! And I do so love that bit as well ^^ - I think without it the next chapter wouldn’t have become what it is so I’m glad you liked it! And thank you so so much for an awesome idea you gave me... I hadn’t planned things the way you were hoping this story would progress but just know that if Harry goes to Umbridge (you’ll know what I mean if I can include it) then it stems from this review because it put the idea in my head of confrontations ^^ (and I don’t mean the one in two chapters time either ^^ - you may have just altered the path of this fic, thanks! ^^)
Is my Favorit moment in this chapter, and when snape excapes Ilove how you have written this story so far It alwasy wanteding more I hate cliffies but at the same time you do them well I hate that. I look forward to the next chapters Author's Response: Aww thank you ^^ Sorry about all the cliffys, I know what you mean; it’s like their even worse when they’re written well and I’m extremely flattered you like mine but it probably makes it suck that much more that I’m taking so long to update – I’ll try not to leave too many cliffy in future (I seem to be torturing my readers TT) – thanks so much!
Author's Response: Thanks! Hope you like the next one ^^
Where to start... Okay, I was thrown a bit off track when Harry went outside into the snow. Perhaps I wasn't reading close enough, but I had initially thought all the white represented the Hospital Wing. Of course though, it seemed he was heading downstairs since he moved past Myrtle's bathroom, so it must've been my mind not putting together the pieces. I HATE, HATE, HATE Umbridge! *Hexes her into oblivion* Speaking of Umbridge, I memorized the word umbrage for that completely useless, evil test that shall not be named and it's a noun that means offense or annoyance. Thinking of Umbridge helped me remember. lol. I don't exactly understand what happened to his arm, but whatever happened, it sounds brutal and squeam worthy. I'm so glad Dobby found Sev. Poor Harry would've died from hypothermia if he hadn't. Bringing Lily in was a nice touch. Was that an idea spawned by an earlier review? I thought maybe that bit could've been a little longer to really capture the magnitude and moment of it, but I liked it nonetheless. Another yay for Sev being found out as a spy. It was quite brilliant how he got away without any major damage. It was different and I almost had to chuckle along with Sev when he was returning. I'm so glad Harry won't have to deal with Sev being a spy when they get closer. Favorite part of the chapter...hmm... I'd have to say Sev carrying Harry back into the castle. I just can't wait to see everything that's wrong with Harry and what will happen because of it. I hope we're almost finished with the hurt part and getting closer to the comfort. *Hugs Harry* Poor guy could use a gazillion, but of course his body would probably protest the touch. :( About Tristan and Adrian, I totally revised that one horrible scene, not horribly written, but horrible because you know. I might send it to you to get an opinion if you like the changes. I have to submit quite a few apps yet and I probably won't hear on the first until mid-Feb at least. *sighs* Author's Response: Hi! I’m not even halfway through replying to all my reviews, so very very behind... and I noticed you updated too!!! *jumps around happily* I’ll review soon I promise ^^ and I suppose technically this next chapter is going to be the one where Harry gets help... is that false advertising? *bites lip* ^^ And I actually love that some people read that whole white moment differently – as much as it must have been seriously irritating to read... sorry TT – but some thought it was Harry dying and you thought the hospital wing; it’s good in that it means I successfully got everyone in the right frame of mind, even if I write it badly TT (I have the best readers... you put up with so much! *muffins for you* ^^) *helps you hex Umbridge into oblivion* is there anyone who doesn’t hate Umbridge by now? (if so they must be in league with her! Nooo! ^^) and that awful test that you had to do that we won’t mention (and that I bet you did a wonderful job of) sounds hard but you of course aced it (and if anyone tells you different then they’re clearly the idiots *throws muffins at them... Hagrid’s muffins... yeah, take that!* And I agree, I hate to imagine Harry’s arm but I sorta have to to describe it ^^ - and I’ll explain this better later but what happened was that Harry was writing and slipped – if I go back through the chapter I can pinpoint where it happens but I’m not sure it’s clear yet to anyone else – and the quill slashed up the paper and so tore a gash up his arm so deep it’s kinda mangled now... my imagination must look like some Salvador Dali Horror masterpiece ^^ (haha, I’m giving myself too much credit aren’t I... it’s probably a crayon scribble.) nevertheless I’m preening that you think my description of it squeam-worthy ^^ And yes, Lily was definitely from all of those people who were so sure the ‘ghost star’ would be his mum... *muffins for all* see, it’s you (and perhaps 20 others) who is really writing this fic ^^ I probably played it down a lot but I just wanted that hint of it in there, just enough for Harry to ponder later when he’s out of the woods (literally and figuratively ^^) A Sev with no excuses and no (good) reasons to pull away from Harry is always a good thing so of course I had to get him away from Voldemort – and Dobby was a must ^^ too cute not to ^^ Poor, poor Harry, yes, we have much comfort on the way – and I hope I can write comfort half as well as I seem to be able to write disgusting descriptions ^^, I kinda owe it to people still reading and to Harry (and Sev) to give them lots of cuddle time now ^^ Mid-Feb, so you know now about how those applications went? Do tell!!! I’m sure you did wonderfully and life always has the best way of working out perfectly in the end, whether you take roads you expected to or not ^^ - shutting up now, but thanks and looking forward to more AIE too! Have fun and enjoy yourself and keep safe!!! ^^
Author's Response: Oh I’m so glad you mentioned that! Thanks! That’s one of my favourite moments too, I do so love the giddiness of discovering freedom and it’s fun to write too ^^ Oh *gives you hugs and cookies and muffins* thank you so much! That’s such a hugely flattering, sweet thing to say and I’m kind of overcome by it, thank you!!! And I’m glad you don’t like Umbridge... there’d be something wrong if you did ^^ and oh don’t delete your expletives... she’s all of them and deserves worse so I wouldn’t worry about offending anyone... we’re all thinking worse ^^ - and Sev will get a chance here or there to have his vengeance for Harry, though it’s unlikely Harry will get his own opportunity to – you never know but he might still be a bit too down to do anything while she’s still around. Thanks so much! Points and muffins and cookies, oh my!
Author's Response: oh, don’t sweat it, I’m thrilled you reviewed at all and that you stayed up so late reading this is very flattering ^^ - hope you got some sleep and thanks! ^^ |
