Reviews For You Can't Always Get What You Want
Great chappie Tambra, and congratulations on winning the Fest challenge. Author's Response: Thanks for the review and the kind words. I hated that Snape always saw James only in Harry. This is my chance to rectify that. Congrats to you too! You won featured status, and you really deserved it. I enjoyed your story and am waiting for the rest... T
I can't blame Harry a bit for being sick over the decaying basilisk. I'd be right there sicking up with him! Hermione's thoughts were very funny and true to her. Looking forward to more! Author's Response: I'm so happy you liked the chapter. Yes, there might be some Draco and Ginny foreshadowing, but they will be in the background for most of the story, if I do get them together at all. Draco has a lot to make up for with the Weasleys. I'd be right there with Harry too, being sick. That whole scene was pretty hard to describe for me. thanks for the review. t
A brilliantly constructed chapter with great character interaction and a nice balence between humour and grit. I loved Hermione's angsty over-analysing. Author's Response: Thanks so much. It's terrible when our ideals don't meet reality, isn't it? Of course Hermione is going to analyse everything before she makes a decision. That's just her way. T
It's going to take time for Draco to earn the trust of the Gryffindors. The really sad thing is that he can't do much to help them at this time. I do hope that he won't be forced to participate in anything that will further ruin his chances of making things right. He is finally on the right road and I would hate to see things blow up in his face... I wonder how Hermione will feel when she discovers that she isn't the only one who strayed? To be honest, I never quite understood her relationship with Ron. They are too different and I feel that they will both be far happier in the long run apart. Author's Response: I just don't see Ron and Hermione either. They are just too opposite for any kind of relationship to work. There will be more on Draco in the coming chapters. He's in big trouble, and we need to see if he can resolve the situation without outing himself. Thanks for the review, I really needed some cheering up. T
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the review. T
Author's Response: I always thought that Draco and Ginny would make a striking couple, but I've never actually paired them in a story. I'm glad that works for you. Something like the sick scene between Hermione and Harry happened to me when I was a kid. I can laugh about it now, but wow, then it was just devastating.... and gross. Thanks for the review. T
Severus is still walking a fine line, but I like how the scene with Draco was staged...I had a hard time believing that the other three would be that careless. And I'm glad that Draco has passed the test, and that Lucius and Narcissa are changing sides as well. Even if it is for their own motives rather than purely altruistic ones, hopefully they will continue to change for the better. Liked the little glimpse of Antonia, too! Author's Response: Wow, somehow I missed this review. I'm so sorry for being so late on it. I don't know what happened.
Thanks for the comments. I really can't get behind the H/HR ship, but that's what someone requested and so that's what I'm writing. Of course, I can't see Ron and Hermione either, so maybe I'm predisposed to writing Ron with anyone but her. I'm glad you were happy to see Antonia. There will be more of her in coming chapters as well as the rest of the cast. I'm currently working on the next chapter of this one now that I finally got the Fest Fic finished. Thanks again. T
Author's Response: I am the queen of improbable pairings. Ron and Hannah have been easy compared to some of the others I've written. (Could you ever picture Lucius Malfoy and Padma Patil? or Percy and Tonks?) I'm glad you're warming up to Ron and Hannah and most especially I'm glad you liked their honeymoon night talk. Thanks for the review. I love writing the Malfoys in all their pureblood bigotry. I think its their ambivalence that I like the most. Even in cannon, they were less than pleased that Voldemort returned, even if you had to dig deep to get that feeling about them. Now that I've finished that fest challenge that was giving me fits, I should be able to update this one soon. T
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. There will be more of those three in the coming chapters, I simply needed to set some things up. T
Ron seems to be a bit out of his element in the Triage center. I hope that he will find his place and happiness. I wonder how the other Weasleys will react when they find out about his marraige? I know that they will be disappointed that they didn't get to attend his wedding. I'm not quite sure how they will react to the fact that it was a shotgun.... Author's Response: You're right. The Malfoys are in a tight spot. I doubt that Lucius would have turned his back on Voldemort if they weren't. A reviewer mad an interesting observation about Lucius. She said that people in his social strata realise that their family is the first thing that needs to be preserved. They never consider that their is anything more important. I kind of went with that in this story, but I think there is evidence of that type of attitude in cannon too. Ron would be out of his element if he hadn't had the military training. He'll still hate the blood and mess, but he'll do just fine. As for the family's reaction, you'll have to wait for that. Thanks for the review. T |
