Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I have great fun writing Lucius: the canon character shows delightful glimpses of his cunning, charm and flair and I've always thought it a shame that we generally see him at his worst, rather than his stylish, machiavellian best ^^ (The only conscious alteration is I've given Lucius' a sense of humour, in homage to the gorgeous Jason Issacs, who has a dry, intelligent wit.)
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. I think it's to do with the writer's mindset: while JKR is an upright, noble-minded Gryff, I'm a sneaky, tricksy, little Slyth who delights in intrigue and manipulation ^^. Therefore, when I borrow JKR's characters and universe, all kudos to her for creating them, I tend to highlight the Gryffs' darker sides and the Slytherins... well... they're completely machiavellian lol!
Ker-runch, indeed. :) Lucius seems to be very true to himself, deceptive and manipulative as ever. Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Poor old Fudge, one feels almost sorry for him: Lucius and Albus are consummate politicians and, with Severus as the power behind the throne, the Minister is tricked, intimidated and charmed by turns. He really has no chance ^^. I thought it a nice 'mirror' of the canon; in PoA, Lucius uses his power to deprive Hagrid of Buckbeak whereas, here, he uses it to beguile the Ministry into allowing the groundskeeper to keep a dragon. |
