Reviews For The Poor of God
And Harry's letter! Dare I say it was rather educational? ;-)
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this story? Your writing is pure brilliancy. *hands you a capuccino* You've really gotten Luna's character perfectly. I love how Harry is so protective of her. I wish he would have ended up with Luna instead of Ginny. *scowls* Incredibly awesome chapter! Now, get some sleep.
And Snape's speech is incredibly vicious, and you did a such a subtle job of conveying how much it hurt him to say it. And then his reaction to Harry throwing up his arm. I think Harry got it at that point, but he is a little slow on things like this. And of course, Harry gives free rein to his "saving people thing." Ron will really have trouble accepting Harry's improved relationship with Snape after this performance.
think about it! if you make me delighted and warm and fuzzy with a new updateyio...you'll even get TOAST! mind you, if you like toast, because i personally detest the stuff... *big puppy dog eyes* how about...strawberries?!?!?! yes, i do realize i'm attempting to bribe you with imaginary food. i am -such- an idiot... anyways, brilliant chappie, brilliant cliffie, and you are very evil. hmmph. oh, and i send harry a hug. dunno if he'll get it in a chappie, but make sure you at least give him one backstage from me, okay? hmmmm...my favorite line? by far... "Did the thing with the gold work for you?" Harry asks, hearing his own cold, trembling voice as though from a long way away. "Or are your hands still covered in it?" and...right after that, when my heart just broke...bittersweet moments do that, you know? Instinct takes over; he rears back, throwing up a hand to shield his face from the blow he is sure is coming. But Snape's eyes, which have not looked away from his, alter in their expression so suddenly that it is like seeing another person emerge behind them. Harry cannot identify the look he sees there; it has come and gone in an instant, but it is sufficient to make Harry lower the arm with which he is shielding himself. - - - here, harry. have a hug. *sobs* Author's Response: I do love a long review more than anything. :-) I promise I will update again soon. I doubt I'll be posting two updates within 12 hours of each other anymore like I did this weekend, but it won't be long, I swear. And in the mean time I am exceedingly fond of English Toasting Bread with Kerrygold butter. :-)
And I am glad that you picked up on the significance of that moment between Snape and Harry---it is a very important interaction, despite being so tiny, as will become clear in the next chapter.
I also really love that you're including Luna; she is one of my favourite characters but also not very prominent so it's a joy to see her written in your story. Best of luck with the next chapter! Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying Luna, she's a joy to write. :-) And no, I don't think Harry's actions will ruin Dumbledore's plan---everyone knows what Harry's like, no one would be surprised by his shielding Snape.
