I don't really write anything. Not because I don't want to but because I am notoriously unreliable when it comes to not procrastinating; and I'd hate for me to start a story when I might take forever to finish it. (I hate unfinished fics) [Report This]

    Your characters are way off I think. I don't believe Lupin would ever give Snape Harry's diary as he knows Harry cannot stand him. And Snape if he read it wouldn't go around giving it to other people unless something vital was in it and even then he could just sum it up for them. He, as an intensely private person would understand the need for descretion.
    As it is, having people go through your diary hardly inspires trust - but we'll see how your Harry handles that when he hears about that.

    When would Harry have had time to make all those potions? If you have something like that in the story you might want to explain how he goes about things; I mean, when does he read all those books? Practice spells? Visit his secret room?

    Also, in my opinion the diary entries don't really read like diary entries at all, especially not those of a 11 to 15 year old boy. There is no emotion in it, and why would Harry write that diary if he only was recounting bare fact about the events that took place? Plus, it's quite the jump from 11 to 15, from child to teenager, which should be reflected in the entries. Incidentally, your dates are off by a year, too.

    Very nice.

    I really like the idea that the wizarding world turning their back on Harry comes back to haunt them, literary almost. It's a terrible story of what-ifs; what if Harry had not been different? what if Snape had not been vindictive? what if the wizarding world actually cared (because while Snape was send, he hardly had the real authority to decide whether or not Harry could attend)? what if Harry hadn't run away? And what if he hadn't come back?

    For me the haunting part is that we really don't know anything about Harry; what is he thinking? feeling? what is the extent of his powers? what are his experiences?
    And most of all, what are his motives? Because I think, while he does release them from pain, he doesn't differentiate between good and bad or even anyone at all. As such 'mercy' could as soon be a form of vengeful vindication; which is a form of soul corruption
    - but then we don't know that Harry is alive at the end ... he might have chosen that his soul is in need of freeing, too.

    Just as well, he could interpreted as being death personified; "I am going to free the souls [...] that cry out for death" might mean that they were crying for him, their perceived saviour, whom, even as they rejected him they still wouldn't let go.

    See, lots of space for interpretation...which I love!

    P.S. You made me finally register at P&S, so I can review un-anonymously^^

    Just read the other reviews and your answer to Kirinin's concerns.
    It answered what I couldn't put my finger on: Harry's lacking humanity.

    Brilliant. It opens a whole new can of worms I won't go into...

    P.S. I don't think the story ends with a bang instead of a whimper; it very much ends with a whimper - Ron's, when he realises that everyone he lived for is gone.
    I imagine the 'bang' would've been something more along the lines of killing really everybody with the resulting silence being the only thing left to remind that some time there was life...

Perception is Everything by Kendra James starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 165]
When Severus Snape is left in charge of Hogwarts over the Christmas break, he is less than pleased to discover Harry will be one of his charges. Events force him to face that Mr. Potter may not be quite what he has assumed all these years.

    This story is developing nicely.

    I like the fact that there is no extrem focus on Ron and Hermione - at least not yet..? -; I'm rather fond of a confident Neville. And Luna of course^^

    I almost had to laugh when Hagrid was the one discovering what had been under their noses for some time; he is so often overlooked, but there he come pointing out the obvious. Or maybe not so obvious :-D

    Nice chapter.

    Even if I think Snape's developement is rather fast; but it is still balanced enough so it still works out in the end.

    Oi! What a cliffhanger.

    So far I really commend you on your depiction of interaction; I think it's neither too much, nor not enough. I've read stories where the author goes on and on about one character but forgets that there are a lot of others, too. I'm glad that's not the case here.

    And I think it's the first story I read where Snape gives up spying for the sake of Harry's wellbeing.

    That said, 'IMPERIO' - update story ^-^

    (I really hope you mean to continue this..)
