Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it: the end of the six trials (Reaching the Corridor, Fluffy, Devil's Snare, Keys, Chess and Potions- troll doesn't really count as he was knocked out), seemed a natural place to break off and it coincided with the canon nicely. I agree; Lucius and Severus will be most displeased by the children's heroics. Slytherins tend to consider the word 'hero' to be synonymous with 'idiot' lol!
“Well I think it was a very good idea” snapped Draco “It was one of mine, after all.” Hehe - too funny! I hope Harry will be ok in your version too! Can't wait for the next chapter! Author's Response: Thanks for the review; there's something about children and swords; I'm reminded of a beautiful quote from 'Hogfather', by Terry Pratchett; "“You can’t give her that!” she [the mother] screamed. “It’s not safe!” IT’S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE. “She’s a child!” shouted Crumley. IT’S EDUCATIONAL. “What if she cuts herself?” THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON."
He has to do everything with style (and swagger)! Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Yup, I think the best adjective for Draco is 'flashy': he loves to look impressive. However, I think when he realised just whose sword he has been showing off with, he might lose a little swagger lol!
I wanted to shake my head when Draco made his selection of weapon, but I kind of expected that at least one of the children would choose one that was inappropriate. I have a feeling that the dagger that Harry chose was the perfect choice and I cannot wait to see how it will help him in this quest that he has so foolishly (but I do admit, understandably) taken on. I just hope that all will turn out alright in the end. Author's Response: Thanks. Draco is very image conscious and, therefore, a big flashy sword is, naturally, the ideal choice- in his eyes at least. The Dagger is important but you'll just have to wait for tonight's chapter to discover why ;)
Looking forward to more! Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you're enjoying it :) I think that the children in this fic will recieve rather sterner punishments than the canon lol!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^ Yes; as Slytherins are more cautious, they tend to plan rather than react, which tends to speed up the whole process, moreover, the five-strong team has two brilliant seekers, three chess buffs and three people skilled at logic problems, which meant that the tasks were considerably easier. Of course, on the other hand, as Slytherins don't have the 'everything will turn out okay' mentality of many Gryffindors, meaning that some parts of the chapter are rather slower paced. Swings and roundabouts lol!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ |
