Reviews For The Poor of God
v/r, Ivanova
What a horrible way to end this chapter. Shame on you. How could you leave your loyal readers hanging on such a cliff? The only way to get back in our good graces is to update right away. Maybe then we can forgive you. Poor Harry! Not only did he have to deal with whatever was to happen in Potions, but he had to deal with it after reading Vernon's horribly cruel letter. The poor boy never seems to get a break, does he? I loved Harry's comeback for the gold thing. Almost Snape-like, wasn't it? And, even after all of that, he still tried to shield Snape from the explosion. I'm guessing that this incident will have the two of them experiencing some kind of dream, right? I'm never right about these things, but I can't wait to find out. In other words, or the same ones I used before, please update soon. BTW, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this story with us. Thanks. Author's Response: What, two updates in 12 hours wasn't enough for you? :-P Don't worry, I won't leave you in suspense very long. Thanks for your review! :-)
I liked, too, the fact that Harry feels somewhat protective of Luna. Even though she may be able to take care of herself, she still needs someone who sees who she really is. She truly has a beautiful soul. Anyway, I'm glad you decided to continue your story. Now, I'm on the next chapter.
Harry, Harry, I hope that he didn't ruin their little 'play' but I suppose that Harry protecting Snape MUST make the teacher pretend to like him better afterwards. Wow. Haha! I love how Harry called "The Incident" in his mind, capital letters and all. Great job in the chapter! So what pie am I? Pumpkin? Author's Response: Key lime and Lemon meringue are my favorites, with pumpkin at a close second/third---whatever sort you like, just not coconut cream. :-)
if you update soon, i will likely not write my many-paged paper in time for class because i will reread the chapter lots. if you do not update soon, the same consequence is, i fear, inevitable because i will be v. sad and devastated. you're awesomely talented. just thought you should know. Author's Response: I will relieve your anticipation by telling you the new chapter will be up no later than Tuesday evening, does that do anything for your concentration? :-) Also, in the interests of not ruining your concentration for school, you might consider getting a P&S account, so you can receive email alerts and won't have to obsessively reload the page.
That said, thanks so much for your enthusiasm. :-)
I loved the scene between Snape and the Headmaster. Very in character, but unique and unusual. Good job! "Snape blinks at him, feeling as though the world has shifted on its axis. "You do realize," he says, "that my birthday is not until January." LOL! Oh, GREAT line! "I suppose," he says finally, "that, in your eyes, the indignity I will suffer from a public dressing down is a small price to pay, if it insure Potter's comfort." Wow. I like how human you make Snape. It makes me feel for him. Good, good job. thank you for the update!
So, that was . . . intense. Snape surely does know how to create a scene, doesn't he? And I think it's rather telling that Harry is able to come back at Snape with precisely what will hurt him most, and yet still fling himself without hesitation between Snape and the explosion. It's going to be interesting to see how the witnesses characterize events which will surely be the talk of the school before nightfall, and more interesting still to see how this incident impacts the developing relationship between Harry and Snape. I like the interaction between Harry and Luna, and the very Gryffindor way he reacts to the slights she takes so completely for granted. I also think it's amazing that the only typo I spotted was at the very end, where one assumes Snape and Harry have each their very own head (though I suppose the flying cauldron could change that rather abruptly). :) I hope you're getting some sleep soon. Sincerely, Annette Author's Response: I'm glad the intensity came through---that was my goal, but of course one can never be sure. And I'm glad you're enjoying Harry's chivalry, I rather adore it myself. Thank you for pointing out that typo! How embarrassing.
I always look forward to your reviews. :-)
I wonder what effect the potion will have.
