Reviews For The Poor of God
I feel like he needs a big hug from us all and can just hear the snort that that will inspire! If lack of sleep keeps you writing I will happily come round with a very large pot of coffee!
Your writting is definitely wonderful ! I might be French but I recognise (very) good English when i read it ;-)
Ah, they cuddled, they cuddled! ^___________^ Um, yeah. Once again you grace us with another brilliant chapter. I loved Snape's POV about Luna, and I especially liked DD and Snape's talk about Harry! And I really, really want to bash Vernon now. Poor Harry - he never gets a break, doesn't he? *huggles him* But I'm glad that Snape was there and saved him again! That had me grinning from ear to ear (Vernon, you're SO going down)! As for the cuddle at the end and Harry likening it to the safety of his cupboard - that was just absolutely beautiful. I LOVE the way you write Snape and Harry's budding bond - it's so wonderfully done, and the way you're building everything up is just brilliant! Please update again soon! I can't wait to read the next part! Author's Response: *laughs* yes! they cuddled! and next chapter, you get to see the cuddle from Snape's POV! No, Harry is more or less fated to reside in the hands of people who will put him through the wringer for their own delectation. But he usually gets compensation, of a kind. Lots of people suffer who don't have a Snape to cuddle them afterwards, after all.
Snape: Here is a jar of polish. Go use it on your soul C:
And a big thank you for updating so regularly, too. I don't know how you manage it, but I for one am very grateful.
Your characterization of Dumbledore is exquisite. It was such a sad and revealing moment when he confesses to Snape why he decided not to raise Harry on his own. And then Snape's "you might have given him to me" (oh, I just wanted to cry). Also, I really hope Snape understands the significance of Dumbledore confessing these things to him. Not everyone would be privy to the headmaster's thoughts, but he trusts Snape and regards him highly enough to have him as a confidant. Snape and Dumbledore are both similar in some ways; they are both forceful personalities and have their own fears and uncertainties about emotional attachment. And so Snape left Harry alone after he woke up. I wanted to shake him a bit for that, but I can understand too - Snape can't deal with this all at once. You convinced me of how he can feel safer being privately fond of Luna, whereas a fondness for Harry is loaded with so much more baggage. Harry, on his own after he woke up was also heart-breaking, but again, not melodramatic. Good illustration of his thought processes. Of course he'd feel that he needs to leave. The fact that Snape caught up with him pretty quickly shows how long Snape lasted in his office, attempting to convince himself he doesn't care (Snape can be such an exasperating idiot sometimes). Author's Response: I am glad that Dumbledore, and Dumbledore's relationship with Snape, is so resonant for you because they are both extremely important to me. Snape definitely deserves to be shaken for bailing on Harry, but don't worry---he is shaking himself as we speak (I literally left off in the middle of writing that paragraph in the next chapter to answer your review.) Snape *is* rather exasperating, but I think he is trying to mend his ways. :)
"Harry doesn't both folding the letter" I imagine you meant "bother."
I LOVE this story. I think it is as I have said you don't rush it. You don't skip over those special minutes and hours of each day that we really do want to read. Also, the interaction between Snape and Harry is extraordinary. I think the most profound chapter is still Harry calling to Severus as if he were several people. From that point on I was amazed. Thank you once again for the update, as it has brought a smile to my face to be able to read it. Rhonda
