Reviews For Blessings In Disguise
I really liked Harry’s idea of using the Prefects bath as a pool. Dumbledore spying and seeing Ron’s maturity is a plus. I love this new development. And Ron says it all about not wanting to owe Draco Malfoy anything.
And Yay for Harry now mentally calling Snape his father now. I guess that last event with proof that Snape would be there for him really cemented it. Horray. Wow, even Ron now is working hard on his homework, trying to get O's. Hermione couldn't do it on her own. This is more proof of Snape's good influence. Woah. I had hoped that Harry was the only one who had used the blood quill so far, that Umbridge was waiting to test the waters with Harry. Sad to hear that she used it on three other students. I guess they didn't feel as comfortable bringing it up with other teachers. That really speaks to the trust and bravery Harry has. I'm glad that the other students can be seen to and fixed too. Haha Hermione's right about being exasperated that the defense professors are trying to kill Harry every year. Silly Harry trying to speak up and say Umbridge wasn't trying to kill him, "not exactly." Pretty sure that was her end goal. I'm really glad that Umbridge is being removed early on, and that Harry didnt have to suffer much of her writing torture. The other students too, are likely really relieved to avoid her punishments. I wonder if she will go to Azkaban. At the very least she should loose her Ministry position. I bet she really hates Harry now though. I really want to know what Draco had to write, and how he's dealing with it. Will Harry ask him, or will Draco volunteer that information in the future? I hope so. I am nosey like Harry. :) It was really nice at the end how Harry had dinner with Snape and McGonagall and Pomprey. I am so glad that they explained it all to Harry, and that Umbridge is gone for good. I bet that Dumbledore is explaining the same to the rest of the students in the Great Hall that night. I wonder why Snape wanted that dinner with Harry though. Was it to shelter him from the announcement or something? Or just to check in with Harry and explain things without holding him after class? I'm really loving this story and the path it's taking us on. Wonderful. And the idea of Dumbledore teaching Defense is exciting. I bet all the students will love his lessons. I hope that Malfoy will open up to Harry perhaps they could become sort of not-enemies? Thank you for writing and sharing!
Oh man, where to start. I really loved how Harry had an opportunity to test Snape's commitment and care for Harry. I am so, so glad that Harry was able to speak up and refuse to continue the detention once he realized it was torture and unlikely to be the sort of thing allowed. I loved how Harry said he'd tell his Dad! And Umbridge took the bait. Ha! I only wish that Harry would of carried the quill with him as proof, and also so Umbridge couldn't use it on anyone else. Snape was fantastic, quickly lying for Harry and I love that he added Dumbledore in as his backup. With their legilimency Dumbledore could pick up on things from Snape and play along if he was called on. I actually would of loved to see that. Interesting about the blood quill. Did Harry ever lie after using it in canon? Anyway, I'm glad that Snape is on to fixing things, and that he's going to get an unbonding quill to help Harry. Snape could of left it, and preferred Harry to be forced to tell the truth a little more, but I suppose with Snape's legilimency there is no point, he could just read Harry's mind anyway and know if Harry's lying. It was really nice that Snape let Harry get his book from the library after hours. I bet Snape secretly likes that Harry is getting good grades, and trying to do better. I think the other teachers, Dumbledore and McGonagall, have also noticed and think it's Snape's influence that is making Harry a better student. I wonder if Umbridge will make things difficult for Snape and Harry, if the Minister or the Ministry will publish their relationship or what. I hope not. That would not be good for Snape's other position, and it would also make things more difficult for Harry at school too I bet. I'm really glad that Harry was able to produce his patronus and that the memory with Snape was the memory he used. :) Hooray. I'm really loving this story. Thank you so much for all the updates!
Maybe Harry is starting to understand this arrangement? Oh, I love it. And Draco was so in character. I loved Harry's wit, saying he and Draco were having a playdate in Potions. I bet Snape almost laughed out loud. XD That was fantastic. I loved how things with Cedric's cousins worked out in the end. I think now they are probably feeling guilty. Maybe they will even feel compelled to go to Harry's side if there is a future fight or battle because of it. They should understand now how Harry feels about it. I'm actually really surprised that Umbridge hasn't managed to get Harry in trouble for any detentions. Will she have a problem with Harry teaching the Defense club? Will Harry be able to produce a Patronus now? I think that last scene with Snape should be enough for a happy memory. But if Harry is depressed and unable to feel happiness that would be a problem. Fantastic chapter and fantastic story! I am loving it! Thank you so much for writing and sharing it.
