Reviews For Hut of No Return
Author's Response: Yay! I really tried to put myself into Harry's mind throughout the story, hoping not to hit any false notes. I've never been an eleven-year-old boy, after all! But I do remember how I felt as a child who desperately wanted to fit in and succeed, so I suppose that's a universal experience. 😉 Many thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I do appreciate all of my readers' feedback! Thank you for reading and reviewing!
However, I did really like the hut rescue and the way Harry interacted with Severus. It was adorable. But it's got me thinking... Harry has his entire Hogwarts career in front of him. Will that much time of pretending to hate Snape eventually become a real feeling? Or, with the two strive to not let it happen via private reassurance? I hope it is something in the form of the latter. Severus did make me happy with his awarding points to Harry at the end. Thanks for an interesting and fun story. (~.^) Author's Response: Thank YOU for the compliment! I've had several readers comment about the Sorting, apparently not liking it for one reason or other... Well, I wrote it the way I wanted to, and I just accept that I can't please everyone all the time. How boring our world would be if we all thought the same way! As for the continuing relationship between Harry and Severus, I would like to believe they'll continue to interact privately, while maintaining a public facade. But you do raise some very relevant questions! Thanks for reviewing! Hope to hear from you again!
Author's Response: I'm so pleased that you enjoyed Hut! And many, many thanks for reading and reviewing each and every chapter! 😉
Author's Response: Too true! But something tells me that Harry will never be truly intimidated by his rescuer. After all, Harry knows that the Master must be the very best of the lot! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: I wanted to show the real Harry, who could only reveal his innermost thoughts and fears to the Sorting Hat. It's a bit different from stories where Harry is biased against Slytherin due to his perceptions of Voldemort and Draco, but it still works. Thank you for the review!
Author's Response: That was a bit different from typical Snape/Harry initial interaction, but it fit with how each of them had come to view the other. Harry, of course, is somewhat overcome by hero-worship, but Snape doesn't do anything nasty to dissuade Harry. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: This was one of my fave chapters to write. And I had to work as hard as Harry to try to figure out multiple ways to (hopefully) outwit owls. Alas, the owls won! But look who finally made it to the Hut... Thanks for reading and reviewing. 😉
Author's Response: Thank YOU! I really had to put a lot of thought into what Snape would see, and how he would interpret it and react to it. But I also enjoyed having fun at the Dursleys' expense! Glad you enjoyed the chapter! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: This was a fun chapter to write. I really wanted to build up the tension prior to Hagrid's arrival, so that Vernon's actions would follow naturally from his personal distress. Thanks for reading and reviewing! |
