Author's Response: Thanks! That looks great. Rhiannan
I liked all the letters. Harry really has some attitude. I find it very in character. This is a great story. I was so happy to see an update. Thank you! Good luck on your exams! Author's Response: Yey!! Glad you like!! Thanks for the review!! And thanks for the good wishes - I think I did well, but I don't know yet, for all of them.
This version of Lupin continues to lower himself in my opinion. In cannon he was so scared and denied himself to the point of ignoring doing the right thing especially in regards to bullying Snape. Bringing up the trust vault was a low blow and not really relevant to the conversation - yes, keep yourself hidden to make a living but be honest to yourself. Harry could probably care less that he's loaded, beyond taking care of his immediate needs, because the trade off has not been that great - orphan, being portrayed badly in the press and the unwelcome fame. Lupin even said his life was easier this way - ignoring Dumbledore's philosophy 'doing what is right or what is easy.' I really would like to see Sirius man up. It always bothered me that he let everyone overrule him in his own home in cannon. He is the adult and I know the revelations have thrown him for a loop but he needs to get over it. Please let Bill take a cue from the goblins, since they obviously knew about the royalty issue, and not turn him in. I have no doubts that someone will let it slip to the sidhe but I'd rather it not be Bill. I wouldn't be surprised if Snape rats him out in his report - if he is indeed one of those working to spy on voldy for the sidhe. I did kinda wonder how Tobias received his letter. I had a funny thought that Hermionie gave the owl the letter and it circled the table and landed at Tobias' plate with a why-did-you-bother expression on it's birdy face. That would have been a funny way to out him. And what happened to Hedwig? Thanks for the chapter! Author's Response: Hey!! Lovely, long review!! Thanks so much!! Good point, about the letter. I had assumed Hermione sent the owl out her window, and it had showed up immediately at Harry's, but your image is lovely. That would be hilarious. I HOPE Hedwig is smarter than that, but she is just an owl... Anyway, glad you like, and thanks again!!
Author's Response: Thanks!!
Author's Response: Yey!! I'm working on it. :0)
keep up the great work :) Author's Response: :0) LOL. So'm I. Thanks for the review!!
Thanks for the update. V. Author's Response: LOL that would be fun. Like, by the way, you have the great honor of addressing his HIGHNESS Harry-she, heir to the Unseelie Court. Please be respectful, but have a nice day. It really is a shame that Harry's such a nice guy...
Lupin & Harry : While I have never liked Lupin and always found him to be a coward, I find Harry's attitude hypocritical. He himself did not wish to tell them the truth - even if we attribute that to his wishing to stay away from the royal court/ still being in adjustment period. But even now, he is pretending to be not eating raw meat or that his daughter does not feed on blood. I have to agree with Remus that Harry has always had a bank full of money and even when he becomes a people, he is a prince. Ofcourse, he always gets humungous responsibilities along with these perks- a prophecy, a daughter. But the point remains that he never needs to choose - he can stay in the best of both world - human and fae unlike numerous like Lupin who have to make a living for themselves and they have chosen one. And it is his fundamental right to choose how and where he wishes to spend his life - any adjustments that he makes for that is also his perspective. Harry in general always has had this problem - even in the novels, he is always of the view that he is correct, has the right way of thinking , does the right thing and anyone not agreeing to him can't understand. That said, I like the chapter. I like Remus-Harry confrontation as well. I have never really been a fan of Ginny but well.... I am sure she will be fine. Guess Hermione will find out about Harry-Tobias soon enough with Harry's letter. Also, I had always thought that Voldemort was the one sending Harry visions - so can Harry still have those visions even though Voldemort does not really know where he is? In that case, can't Voldemort read his mind? All in all, nice chapter..... Thanks for the update. I was missing it ..... Author's Response: I have to disagree with you. Harry did not intend to let everybody know everything yet, no, but he probably would have eventually, and now that he's BEEN revealed, he's not going back to wearing his charms around those people who don't know. So he's not revealing everything all at once, so what? He just wants to do it without scaring people unnecessarily. I agree with you that he could have been more understanding of Lupin's perspective, but I do think that his own actions are reasonable. As for Voldemort reading his mind, you'd have to ask JKR. Harry got visions at Grimmauld place in Canon, so I'm just following that. Anyway, thanks for the review!! I'm really glad you're enjoying the story. I am, too. :0)
I think what I liked the most is how Harry tried to explain to Lupin that they were People, and not humans. It just showed that things had changed for Harry and that he had accepted it. Author's Response: Yup, that was a formatting error. Thanks for the heads-up - I fixed it. :0) Thanks for reviewing, too!! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter! |
