Oh, and thank goodness Harry's nightmares are getting better! I think I found myself breathing innnn and ouuuut with Harry when Snape was trying to calm him...lol. OH! Another scene I liked was when Harry, Draco, and Ron were eating at Hagrid's and Harry was on his stomach, hovering over his food...I thought that was a great description!
Great chapter. More Charlie sometime, please.
I want those nightmares to stop! The poor child! I was lucky enough not to suffer through very many nightmares as a child, but the few I did have were very powerful and I can still remember the with shocking clarity. I couldn't imagine having them night after night. *Shudders* I love Charlie. Everytime I see his name - anywhere I read it - I want to give him a big hug for some reason. Then jump on the back of his broomstick like a biker chick. Heh heh. I'm so glad you implimented him in this story. Great work!
I love that Molly knows what she's talking about, and isn't in love with her own first impressions, and doesn't let Snape's reflexive, semi-insulting insularity scare her off or keep her from telling/asking him what she needs to. I love that Snape is able to unbend enough to realize she *does* know what she's talking about and that a little oh-so-scary openness can be tolerated in a good cause. I love that Charlie, teenager though he be, isn't resentful about being stuck with a pack of little kids all day and is nice to--rather than merely tolerant of--Harry. I love that Hagrid isn't stupid, even though some make the mistake of portraying him that way. I *especially* love that Harry gets to make a little progress and have a whole day go by without something horrible, or painful, or scary, or devastating happen to him.
On the technique to avoid nightmares, I've used something like that before with young children and it worked fairly well. |
