Reviews For Session Transcripts
That was because until now I hadn't read this chapter. You are most certainly *not* a lazy artisan at all! That entire middle section with Harry telling the story of the Velveteen Rabbit (with which I must admit I am unfamiliar) to basically every Slytherin is *precious* beyond belief. I was d'awwwwing with virtually every sentence, and I love how Harry used a muggle child's book to educate his House on how he felt then and now and why. And coincidentally shows that Muggles aren't ignorant etc. of things. Harry truly is a Slytherin; he has the entire House wrapped snugly around his little finger up to and including his Head of House. 'Course, his Head of House has Harry wrapped very snugly around his little finger too. Look, just the way every Slytherin (bar Malfoy it seems) is so protective of Harry and indulgent of him - to the point where *first years* can see the difference in their behaviour is sweet. I don't know if this is just going to be an AU first book thing or carry on for more years, but I get the feeling that a lot of Slytherins are going to change their attitudes/beliefs (even if only a tiny bit) and flat out avoid becoming involved in the upcoming war because Harry's so . . . endearing. I mean, they're used to secrets yes, but not a single Slytherin seems to have told about Harry's new Papa Pa or anything, so this mass conspiracy to protect Harry from everything is very Slytherin and very, very cute. I also kind of want Slytherin House to adopt Goldie as their House pet, and then one day GOldie trots into the Great Hall and all the Slytherins melt and cuddle her and dote on her; then she stops by Harry and just settles in. Then maybe one of the older years tells Harry about how useful unicorn parts are in potions if they're given freely, the resulting discussion ends in Goldie walking straight up to Snape and presenting him with a hank of her mane/tail. Cue dropped jaws all around at everything that just happened. Aside from the sweetness of Slytherins, I think the issue with Granger's gender is going to come to a head soon, especially given how McGonagall seems to be pressing the issue. Seriously McGonagall, RON WEASLEY just said he got books about defensive spells *that are easy to learn to do silently* and you didn't pick up on it because Granger is a hot point for you. It probably says something when the house 'of light and goodness and sweetness' isn't as accepting of someone's differences as Slytherin House. I'm certainly not saying everyone in Slytherin does accept her, but most of the first years do seem to call her Hermes, and I can't see her talents in defence not, at least gaining some respect/approval from the upper years. Not to mention Harry fully endorses *Hermes*, so they're probably in the habit of saying Hermes just so as to not upset Harry. Plus I suppose if worst comes to worst Snape can just outright say 'Mr. Granger is just that, a first year boy, please refer to him as such.' And I can so see the Slytherins doing it, if only to piss off the rest of the school. Loving this story and how flat out *cute* it is.
