Reviews For Harry Potter and the Potions Professor
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try to update by the weekend, okay? It's the best I can do!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try to update as quickly as I can!
Loved this chapter and the previous one too. I loved especially the "dad" part. That was pretty great. Awesome. I hope Harry's alright, though. Hurry with the next chapter, please! Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'll try to update again by the weekend!
Author's Response: Thank you, and Happy New Year to you, too! Well, at least Harry isn't really conscious for all this with the cursed necklace. He won't remember the screaming and convulsions, so that's a lot better than if he was aware of it. I'm really very soft-hearted and can't bear torture scenes. The little bit I wrote way back in ch. 3, or maybe it was ch.4, was all I could manage, and I could barely stand that. I usually have to skip the torture scenes. You do have a point, with the possibility of the parcel being a portkey, but thankfully it wasn't one. And I don't know if I made this clear, but Harry didn't actually open the wrapping to see what was inside. He turned it over in his hands; there happened to be a small rip in the paper, and Harry's fingers brushed against it. Very similar to what happened with Katie Bell in HBP. I'm so glad you like Severus. I think I've softened him up considerably from canon, but I just can't help it. Thanks again!
So glad Severus has seen the error of his ways with Harry. And that Hermione had the sense to use the mirror. Hope you're writing fast because we need the next chapter NOW! Hee hee... Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I made it pretty obvious that Harry was going to need that mirror, didn't I? I'm re-decorating my daughter's room and will probably be pretty busy with that for a couple days, but I hope to update again by next weekend, or at least on Saturday or Sunday.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I hardly know what to say, except that I'm very happy you found my story and are enjoying it! Thank you for leaving such a great review...I've got a big smile on my face reading it. You know, I've said all along that Severus' and Harry's relationship would remain unofficial...that they would become very close, but I would avoid Severus adopting Harry or becoming a legal guardian. But people keep mentioning it, and in the last day or so, I've begun to reconsider. So who knows? Maybe Harry will end up adopted after all. Anway, thanks again, so much!
And a great chapter as well... Your cliffie... well, I'm sure you will let Sev and Dumbledore heal him - otherwise you should add 'character's death' to your warnings *smiles* Anyway, thanks for the quick update, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter :-) Author's Response: Aw, but Teddy, there is a 'character death' warning for my story! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, in some ways Harry has it rough, but at least he isn't really conscious for any of this--he won't remember anything about being cursed, so that's better than if he was aware of it all. We've started re-decorating my daughter's room, so I won't have a chance to write for a few days, but I'll try to update before next weekend.
I really liked how you set up Dumbledore's lessons, it makes sense and it's a great improvement to have Severus along. I also enjoyed their discussion afterwords over hot chocolate...And I adore Severus' adversion to sweets, he's so silly! It's also really great to see how their relationship has progressed. I gasped out loud when Harry snidely remarked, "Yes, Dad." And, of course loved the awkwardness that followed. It was played out perfectly and I adored how they handled it later in that scene, Harry and his insistent need to apologise. *scoffs* I do wonder if this is going to be a Snape adopts Harry fic, perhaps at the end of this year, yes? Especially since Severus has displayed extreme dislike towards the Dursleys...hmmm... I always love the Trio in its entirety in your story, they're just soo perfect! I want to give them all hugs for making Harry not feel so alone and singled-out. (Hug for you too, of course!) Hopefully, Harry never forgets how important his friends are to him and keeps them close at hand. Well, until next chapter! Happy Weekend! Author's Response: Thank you! I loved reading your review! I'm glad you approve of the way the lessons with Dumbledore are going--hopefully it'll sort of streamline the plot, and give me more time to write important things, like Severus and Harry, lol. I do think Severus and Harry have come a long way, and it was fun putting the 'Yes, Dad' line in there. Harry intended it as a joke, but then realized that it was sort of true--that they really are starting to act like family, more than professor and student. And then he was afraid that Severus would be uncomfortable with the idea so he quickly retreated. And I think the line kind of gave Severus a jolt, but he doesn't really mind. As for adoption, I don't know. I've planned all along for their relationship to remain 'unofficial' as far as the legal side goes, that is, not having Severus be Harry's legal guardian or adopted father. But that's mainly because they spend most of the year just getting close, and by the end of the year, Harry will almost be legally of age anyway. But they do grow very close, and Severus is very committed to Harry. Being with Harry, protecting him and guiding him will become Severus' top priority, actually, by this point it is already. So in all the ways that really count, in their hearts, Harry and Severus will become father and son, even if it's not actually a legal adoption. And Ron and Hermione are great! I've always loved them, and thought that Harry was lucky to have them at his side. Thanks again!
Dumbledore's lesson was just the right length. Sometimes, scenes (in other stories) are too close to the book and become really boring then. Here, you efficiently managed to avoid that :-) I'm looking forward to the next chapter - obviously the three are in for trouble?! Greetings :-) teddy Author's Response: Thanks so much! Yes, that's kind of what I was thinking about the Dumbledore scene. As for the trio being in for trouble? What makes you think that? *whistles innocently* |
