Reviews For Eclipse of the Soul, the Sevitus version
Author's Response: Dear Cavehack, Thank you for all of your fun reviews. I am so glad that you are enjoying the story. I do so love receiving reviews and seldom get any, so yours have been a treat. Enjoy the upcoming chapters, SHaria
Just a bit of information: I can't tell from your chapter notes if you intended this, but it sounds like you think "Skulkin" is a name. "Skulkin" is not a name, it's a contraction of "skulking", participle of "to skulk". It's a verb that means moving stealthily, furtively, sneakily. "Skulkin Bar" is still a good name for a Knockturn Alley bar, though, it's pretty funny! Author's Response: Hi Anonymus, I'm glad you are enjoying the story! As for skulkin, from the way Hagrid used the word, it sure seemed like a verb to me too, but I took the verb and turned it into a name- author's perogative I guess. My husband is always making up words (so did Shakespere). My favorite one (of my hubby's) is figitate- a combination of hesitate and figit. Thanks for reviewing! SHaria
I'm glad that Severus has suffered no lasting ill effects from this tragedy. In fact, he seems to have found something to cling to that makes his life a little bit better. Author's Response: Hi Silverstargirl, Your comment of whether or not it would be better if Anthony had died, rather than live the remainder of his life a shell of what he had been, is exactly one ot the points I whiched to present in this chapter. I tend to do this throuhout the story, and find that mort readers miss these messages, seeing only the story. In this chapter for instance we have: The ongoing issue of whether or not a person should be kept alive if they are in a permanent coma or have suffered severe brain injuries. Some people believe that yes, they have the right to live and others believe it more merciful to end that person's life. I don't have the answer, I merely raise the point. Another issue is the power of love. In this case, its opposite effects on both Severus and Voldemort, saving and nurturing one while acting as a weapon against the other. Additionally, Harry (who's character in the HP series is the symbol of all three loves: Agape, Eros and Philia), doesn't even consider the fact that he just knocked down the evil Dark Lord but can only think of his injured friend. As we all know, life isn't easy; we learn from the challenges we face. I know this was a difficult chapter, but Harry is a strong individual supported by many who love him, and this seed of love that was planted in Severus's heart will blossom. Hang in there and thanks for sharing your thoughts. SHaria
Author's Response: I know and I'm sorry. He won't die, I promise. SHaria |
