Reviews For Emerald Windows
You did a fantastic job. Author's Response: Thank you so much! And you really hit the nail on the head-- I think most people would be horrified to truly see themselves as they really are, and for far less reason than Voldemort! But he's one evil dude, and he got everything he deserved! Pretty much self-inflicted, at that! Thank you for reading and taking the time to review! ;-)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! When I think back to the stories I wrote when I began posting on P&S just over four years ago, I can see how far I've come as a writer. Descriptive narrative was harder to write back then (I just wanted to plunge straight into the action!), and it means a lot to me that a reader would compliment me on my description today! It's coming more easily now, but I still work hard on doing a good job. So glad you enjoyed my story, and many thanks for taking the time to review! :-)
Great story Shadowienne. Just wondering why Dumbles won't answer Harry's questions. I would love if this were continued. It has some great possibilities! Author's Response: Pan, I was trying to preserve the canon timeline for HBP, where Dumbledore did not introduce Harry to the concept of Horcruxes until after Christmas of Sixth Year. Prior to that, Dumbledore kept traveling, tracking down clues, evidence, and collecting memories to substantiate his belief that Voldemort had created multiple Horcruxes. His research kept him busy until he was ready to present the idea to Harry in its entirety, and even so, the memory from Slughorn proved crucial, and Harry did not obtain it from Slughorn until after Christmas. So, in my story, Dumbledore is still in the process of gathering information, and therefore he puts off Harry's inquisitiveness on Halloween. Hope that helps! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :-)
Author's Response: Hee! Thanks for saying so! Glad you liked it! Happy Halloween, and thanks for the review! :-)
Author's Response: Thanks! I always get inspired by Halloween! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :-)
Author's Response: Aww-- thank you for noticing and mentioning the cricket. My cat, Cricket, died around the beginning of September (age 13). When I began writing this story a month later, I wanted to acknowledge her passing, thus the solitary cricket in this chapter. I tried to word it as if she were saying farewell... As for Voldemort, essentially the mirror shows him everything he already knows about himself-- the gruesome toddler image is based on the flapping thing under the bench in the otherworld King's Cross station in TDH, which represents the 1/128 of V's soul, which is all he has left after making 6 deliberate Horcruxes & 1 accidental! He is truly evil & twisted inside, and is doomed to burn when he finally does die. V knows all this, but doesn't want to acknowledge it, like all baddies who think they're justified in their actions and therefore not as bad as they really are. Duh! Thanks for reading, and for your reviews! Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Author's Response: Yes, the darkening scar portends that something is not quite normal with Harry. The final chapter will explain the mirror's function, and then the change in the scar will fall into place for readers, if not quite yet for Harry, poor guy... Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Hee! I hadn't thought of the opening of the chapter setting a Halloween atmosphere-- I was just establishing the fact that the mirror had come out of Knockturn Alley, which would let readers know (unlike Harry) that the mirror's function was questionable with a capital "Q"! But hey, whatever works! Okay! Halloween! Thanks for the review! And yes, it really is Lily! |
