Reviews For For The Boy Who Has Everything
Brilliant chapter and brilliant Snape and Harry interaction. I love how parental Snape was being, telling Harry to wash up, study and clean up his room! Too cute. Oh and planning his birthday party is just icing on the cake. I love your Snape. He's not mushy but that is my favourite kind of Snape. I know that he'll never be a cuddly kind of guy and I'm fine with that, as a matter of fact, I prefer that. I want him to eventually see Harry in a different light, without losing all the snarkiness that makes the Snape we all know and love! Great hints and plots within plots and secrets and mystery and intrigue and just everything rolled into a wonderful story. I can't wait for the next chapter!!! Author's Response: Thank you! People don't change their personalities and deeply ingrained habits overnight. It takes the right kind of motivation, time, and effort to make changes to your personality or to build new habits. Snape has had over 30 years to become who he is now, so even earth-shattering news wouldn't bring about a quick and radical change in him. Hopefully, of course, he can make the changes that will be necessary in order to have a positive relationship with Harry. I definitely want that to happen, since Snape and Harry becoming a family is just about my favorite kind of story. :-)
Author's Response: Not with both Dumbledore and Sirius dead. I wasn't sure if I had written anything specific about it, but then I found it: "All of us are a bit at loose ends this summer. This house isn't under the Fidelius anymore, but with Hogwarts closed there aren't many places as secure." ~ Lupin
Author's Response: Yes, he's very frustrating that way. He has blinders on and he will only see and hear what he expects. Harry, unfortunately, has learned not to share too much (even with his best friends) and throws these statements out in a way that makes it easy for others to dismiss. Obviously, I'll try to nudge Snape toward having a better understanding of Harry's childhood. For now he's just filing the info away.
Author's Response: Thanks! I just posted a new chapter. :-)
Author's Response: If Harry's life ever became suddenly easy and angst-free, the poor kid would drive himself into insanity trying to figure out the big Ministry conspiracy and/or Voldemort-related plot behind it. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks! Next chapter is coming soon -- it's already with the beta. :-)
Yeah, this is getting really intriguing and I can't wait to find out what is going on with Draco and Hermione. I can't wait till Harry finds out that he's Snape's son! Loving this story, and I really really want a new chapter! Author's Response: Me, too. I feel like it's still forever until he figures it out, which is annoying because I really want to write that part! Yes, I thought Snape getting all huffy and possessive was hilarious, especially when it happened right in front of Harry.
Okay, I'll try to calm down but I'm all jittery and excited now. Nervous, what have you. This is a credit to you of course, lovely chapter. I loved and loved that Snape and Lupin were arguing and was it just my imagination or was Snape getting a bit possessive of Harry, you know in a good way? And he wasn't quite so horrible so okay, I have faith again that maybe it will all turn out all right, though seriously, Lupin is still on my last nerve, though I can't really tell you why except that I just want him to give Harry a hug. I know, wishful thinking and I think Harry might faint from the shock. Ha, yeah, I'm a bit giddy, did I mention. Loved this chapter though. I'm liking Harry as Hadrian hanging around with Draco and Neville. And just what are Hermione and Draco up to??? Hmmm, okay, go ahead and write me another, I'm excited! Love this story. :D Author's Response: Thank you! I thought this chapter was pretty weak, suffering from the fact that it only covered about three hours of time. It's hard to get anything interesting to happen in that short time frame, but there were some things that needed to get squashed into the story before Harry has his birthday. Yes, Snape is getting a bit defensive and possessive. No matter how much he might want to hold Harry at arm's length, being criticized is not something he handles well. When did anyone ever think it was a good idea to tell Harry the truth? He might just have to figure it out on his own... but knowing him he will jump to a dozen wrong conclusions first!
the communication is coming. I am wondering if Harry should try Snape's wand. I hope that your RL keeps cooperating with your writing so I don't have to wait much longer for an answer. Author's Response: Another chapter is on the way. This chapter was actually supposed to continue, rather than ending abruptly with Harry drama-queening on his bed, but I decided to post this part so as not to hold up the update. My beta is already working on the second part right now, so it shouldn't be too long. :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! No, Harry would never reject his friends, and it remains to be seen if he can ever get over his history with Draco or any of the other Slytherins (one of Harry's "flaws" is that he doesn't tend to change his established impressions of people, even when given reasons why he should). I think some stories really do Harry a disservice by painting him as someone who could just reject everything and everyone he's known. The friendships he's made in Gryffindor are not something any sane person should want to trash. |
