Reviews For The High Road
Please update soon :D
Took Sev pretty long to notice how self centered Lily was
Can't wait for more, please update soon!
Lily is, indeed, getting on my nerves. She is kinda wishy-washy. I mean, yea, Severus could have done better, but at least he is trying. I just feel like a lot of the hard feelings between Harry and Sev are Lily's fault because of her attitude towards both. However, I do feel like the Lily and Sev need to make up before long, so that Harry can stop feeling like it is all his fault. That isn't fair to him...he does seem to be trying harder, and with the fact that Sev acted like he believed him about the attack, that will probably help things along. Lily really needs to stop sending Harry off to Sirius every single time something happens. She isn't helping in this way either. Do realize that none of this is a criticism of your writing, which is amazing by the way, or your plot, which is excellent so far, it is only the characters, which I feel like, in reality, a writer has no control over lol. Those characters will do what they want, no matter how much you try to get them to do something else. lol. Again, excellent job!! Author's Response: Haha. Okay, so the deal is that I really wanted my characters to be imperfect which apparently I've succeeded in. Lol. I know that fanfiction is really supposed to be fantasy, BUT how many of us, if our parenting was really scrutinized by others, wouldn't fall under a little criticism? The fact is that people tend to be selfish . . . well-meaning, often, but selfish. Also, people who are close get into fights sometimes and people who have known each other for as long as Severus and Lily tend to know EXACTLY what buttons to push. Lily feels quite overwhelmed even though she does genuinely love her son . . . I agree that the situation is unfair to Harry but I feel that it is true to life that a lot of times when parents fight the children tend to blame themselves. Especially in a situation where the relationship with one of said parents isn't that good to begin with. Anyway, I do plan to reconcile them . . . Lupin is going to give them a good what-for in the next chapter. :) Don't know how I'll do writing angry!Lupin because I usually write him as a character who tries to keep the peace. Anyway, thanks for the review! |
