Reviews For Walk the Shadows
I'm very interested to see how Harry reacts around others, especially coming off of such an episode. Even more, I'm interested to see how the rest of the staff -- and Lupin if he's there - react to Harry and to Snape. I don't suppose anyone other than Dumbledore has much comprehension of what went on, or what's currently taking place in the dungeons, but several at least must realize something really awful happened to Harry..
I hope this story is featured as well. It's unbelievable. I feel like printing it out, binding it, and keeping a copy of it with my HP books, because it's definitely worthy :)
Oh, that sucks about Harry's things! It truly sucks! So many were really irreplaceable. If it were me I would be hysterical, but I guess he has worse things to deal with than just losing those things. How he finally reacted really tells a lot. :-( An intriguing end to this chapter. Not so much a cliffhanger, but definitely something to wonder about and anticipate.
Canon!Dumbledore has always struck me as being just as bad as the Dursleys for sending Harry back there year after year, and I love how you've shown him out as the manipulator that he is!! Terrific chapter - and I'm looking forward to Monday!! Scarlett
I thought the conversation with Dumbledore was well-handled, and I was rather fiercely pleased with Snape for not pulling his punches, despite the very real--and very clear to him--danger of such a frontal attack on the only person standing between him and Voldemort, not to mention the only person who seems genuinely willing to believe in him. It's a mark of his courage, one of his most admirable traits. And that he feels bad about it--not about the truth he told, but about the hurt he knows it caused--is indicative of loyalty and empathy, two traits he clearly possesses, however much he tries to hide them. The journaling continues to be well done, and offers fascinating insights into how Harry's mind works, how essentially open he still is, despite everything, how *desperately* he wants someone--anyone, really--to want him for his own self. His apprehension about how Remus and Ron will react to the idea of Snape as his guardian is spot on and, unfortunately, all too likely to be justified, particularly by Ron. Remus, at least, is old and experienced, and *kind* enough to probably not explode all over Harry immediately, but I really can't say the same for Ron, and Harry so needs his friends. I hope Ron can rise above himself enough to realize that. Anyway, thought I might should actually leave an actual review, every now and then. :) Just remember, I know where you live, and I know you're not supposed to be typing like a mad fiend. Maybe you should look into voice recognition software. Annette Author's Response: Maybe you should look into voice recognition software. Don't think I haven't considered it. Alas, I have a chapter of Whelp to work on, as well as Slytherin! No rest for the wicked, I tell you. Oh hey! Did I mention that Jeffery wants me to get screenwriters' software so I can write screen plays more easily? I think he's tired of me guessing next lines, next scenes, and such about movies and tv, without, you know, being paid for it. ;-)
*throws you a down comforter* Actually, I wish I had one right now as well. This classroom is FREEZING! Great chapter!!
