Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Reggie is a typical Python-type snake; very sweet, affectionate and gentle. I've made him especially outgoing to compliment Harry, who is quite a shy boy. However, for Hedwig, this is a bit of a headache lol! However, she gets some good news soon.
Author's Response: I based it very much on choosing my dog when I was almost exactly Harry's age: he and I homed in on each other and, although he wasn't the prettiest dog and I had the pick of the litter, I wouldn't have any other than him lol!
Author's Response: Yup, Reggie doesn't *quite* have Salazar's talent for writing lyrics: his songs are more like the songs children make up as they're playing lol. p.s. I read in the 'Shout Box' that you're looking for swear-words: (www dot noswearing dot com forwardslash dictionary) is a useful tool. I particularly like 'tarse' which is a very old word for a part of the male anatomy and 'swive' which means to sleep with someone. Hope this helps ;)
Author's Response: Definately: children's pet envy is the bane of parenthood lol
I'm also tickled that you used my suggestion for the snake's name. Reggie remids me of Longfellow, the ball python that lived in a tank in our biology classroom when I was in high school. He loved water about as much as it sounds like Reggie does. I hope that Hedwig doesn't stay in too much of a snit. I liked the spell to change Harry's voice. It makes sense that if you have a potion to change your appearance there has to be something to change your voice, too. This was very fun and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I hope you have a nice weekend. Bravissimi! Author's Response: Well, as you probably know by now, Hedwig had a reason for being a bit, well, hormonal: she was about to lay eggs!
Author's Response: I hope the following chapters don't dissapoint, then ^^ I've got lots planned for what remains of the autumn term
I find it interesting and useful that the snakes could sense that something was off about both Harry and Severus. I wonder how this talent might help in the future? I think Hedwig is feeling a bit jealous of Harry's new familiar. Hopefully, she will get over it soon and won't cause too many problems. Great chapter! Author's Response: Yes, it seemed sensible that the snake-handler should be a parselmouth, especially as those who have the gift of parseltongue are most likely (other than slytherin children, of course) to want snakes as pets^^ Snakes are very perceptive and can probably see through most glamours, mainly because the glamours were designed to fool humans, whose senses are practically negligable compared to most animals |
