Reviews For A Time and Place to Grow
And then the plates dropped. One by one, like harsh notes in a musical clip, until all fifteen plates lay broken in a hundred pieces on the wooden floor. "Well," Harry said in a very small voice, "it’s just a few plates." Two seconds of silence, and then the mirror fell. It fell straight to the floor and flopped forward. Harry heard the glass of the mirror shatter underneath the frame. "And a mirror," Harry barely whispered. Five seconds of quiet. And the whole wall fell backwards. The entire wall fell back into the room behind it. Even through the haze of dust, Harry could see the wall lying in chunks on the floor of – oh, no, Snape’s study. The wall had fallen into Snape’s study, Snape’s sodding study! "Oh, come on!" Harry yelled.
Snape replied calmly. "I understand that you don’t want me to think you’re always in the wrong, but again we could have talked about that last night after you told me the truth. The time for talking and making excuses is over. If you had even come to me this morning or told me at breakfast that the house elf was here, I would have understood. But you were caught, and now you want to squirm out of it. I know you’re used to adults escaping their promises to you or letting you get away with disobedience because they don’t want to bother with reprimanding you. I know their avoidance makes you feel cheated and ill-used, and I refuse to let you feel that way about my guardianship. I intend to keep my promises to you, which includes punishing you for lying. No need to thank me, just come here and show how appreciative you are that I keep my word."
Great ending! Can't wait to start the sequel!
I have laughed so hard when the two boys got spanked. They both definitely deserved it but it was just so funny. I loved how Snape reacted towards them... hiding his smile and how his feelings are changing towards them. |
