Reviews For Cradle and All
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. And, the truth is, this kind of stuff happens all the time, masked behind one ideal or another. Though, it's usually not quite so blatant and is usually couched in religious philosophy or perceived justice for those responsible for a variety of war crimes--they just don't publicize the fact that it often involves the families of the accused as much as the accused themselves.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm planning to have the next chapter up sometime this weekend.
Author's Response: Hmmm...I don't think it would make Muggleborns leave the Wizarding world. After all, the claim is that it's being done to 'protect' them from the evil Death Eaters plots. Yes, this is definitely going to throw a wrench in the works at the Ministry. Kingsley did foist the corrupt workers--at least those loyal to Voldemort and his ideals--so, in theory, he should have more morally inclined employees. Keep in mind that the Ministry is a government, so all factions within aren't necessarily on board, or even aware, of everything going on at all times. Thanks for the review! I love seeing you guys' reactions and knowing I'm not becoming too predictable.
I'm looking forward the next chapter =o) Author's Response: Lol, the problems are what makes the story! But, don't think Harry is going to take it lying down, because he's absolutely not. Thanks for the review!
Seems to me as if Snape has no chance of being acquitted; if they're executing innocent people, a former Death Eater will stand no chance... I hope Harry finds a way to break him out and rescue them both! Great chapter, it left me on the edge of my seat! More soon please! Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Even with the trial aspect, things were just a little too easy; it didn't seem realistic that Wizarding society wouldn't be reacting more to what had happened. I figured there would still be quite a bit of mass hysteria going on, and with other Death Eater trials happening 'off-screen' so to speak, it made sense that the breeding project would have been leaked. I'm not sure Snape needs to be broken out--the actual Death Eater trials are being done by the book through the Wizengamot, but that's not to say that they're going to be all that impartial. A lot of people are thirsting for vengeance, and like in any conflict, a lot of time it comes out afterward that good people went down with the bad. And you're right, with the exception of when they went after Neville and Harry as babies, they were more focused on Muggleborns as a whole than just the children--not that it really makes them any better, as they did slaughter whole families, right down to the infants. The babies just weren't usually the initial targets. Gotta keep that in perspective. I plan to have the next chapter up by this weekend, though it usually takes the mods a day or two to validate new chapters, so stay tuned.
Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it! The Ministry isn't known for being all that level-headed at the best of times. But, it's a government, so keep in mind that not all parts of the Ministry are necessarily in agreement with everything it does. And, I'm basing parts of it off of real government, so the Child Welfare division is pretty autonomous from the actual judiciary and legislative branches. There will be lots of fallout, none of it pretty. But, it will certainly make things a good deal more difficult for everyone involved, that's for sure! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: I'm right there with you, to an extent. But, I plan to make the ride worth it. There's another chapter added, just awaiting validation, so it should be there within the next 24 hours to (hopefully) really catch everyone off-guard.
Author's Response: Thanks! I should have more up in a few days.
Author's Response: Thanks, glad you're liking it!
Very good story, please update soon! Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it! At this point even I'M not sure how Snape will react (which is a bit scary, actually), so I suppose we'll find out together. Lol. And yes, Harry's history with the Dursleys does play a large part of his little foibles with regard to trusting others with problems, but so does his history with the Wizarding world, as people have proven to be a bit wishy-washy with regard to anything concerning Harry in the past. Even Ron and Hermione had their "off" moments with regard to taking Harry at his word and not suspecting him of having some kind of nefarious (or in Hermione's case, maybe just foolish and rule-breaking) intentions. Coupled with a year on the run and finding out just how many people really were in Voldemort's pockets (metaphorically speaking) certainly hasn't made Harry any more trusting or prone to ask for help before at least ATTEMPTING to do things on his own first. I think that's going to be a major struggle for him throughout the story, and upcoming events aren't going to help. And that's all I can say without starting to spoil it. *zips lips* Thanks for the review! |
