Reviews For Lily's Charm
Author's Response: LOL Draco is in this story lots. Love that Slytherin.
Author's Response: I have been told that people like Ginny since reading my story. LOL I love that girl and I've really tried to make her into a well-developed character. Hope you like it.
Author's Response: Until chapter 7 and then we'll use it later within other chapters.
Author's Response: LOL Love cliffhangers without the wait! You're funny. :o)
Scorpia Author's Response: Yep, Harry and Ginny rule! LOL Thanks. Glad you liked the chapter. You only have 42 more to go. ROFL! The banner is, lovely, isn't. My talented friend Cathyrf made it for me! She's awesome! :o)
Author's Response: LOL Poor Dumbledore...it's not his fault the Horcrux didn't agree with him! LOL And no, Harry can't behave himself...but seriously, Sev, you really shouldn't have expected so much. LOL Thanks for reviewing Keina! Yay! :o)
These first few paragraphs really made me nervous! I thought that "Sev" really wasn't the real Sev and he was flooing him somewhere dangerous...Voldie has wishes too...I was really scared! But then I thought back to the last chapter and it didn't make much sense that Sev would be an impersonator...so I relaxed a bit and kept reading. Poor Harry, always breaking his face, sooner or later he's going to have a nose just like Dad... Hmm...why didn't the floo box open for him? Although I suppose Sev would have some protections on the Cottage. Like if a stranger/bad guy somehow got in, this denies them an exit! Yay! (Am I right?) So was Sev's spazz him freaking out that Dumbles was possessed? Or did that happen way before Sev threw Harry into the fireplace? And then Dumbles was kinda possessed...that was freaky. But I like the twist you put on J.K....it keeps us guessing! I love Sev's punch to Dumbledore's face...that man is so logical and practical! Tee hee...it makes me laugh! I also loved how much Sev wanted to get to Harry, keeping everything short and to the point until he could leave, ensuring it would be at the first possible moment. Hopefully Sev takes it easy on Harry once he does get a chance to reprimand him for trying to leave when he said to stay put. Is the "I've had more practice" that allows Sev to communicate direct thoughts into Harry's mind a result of his more practice with Occlumency? Or if it isn't what is it from? I loved Remus in those closing lines of his...poor guy, but I think at least that Sev realizes Remus considers him a friend...even if he himself doesn't call Remus a friend. Tee hee! Silly Sev! Something I don't understand is Dumbledore's reaction to Sev's: “After your reaction to the locket Albus, it seemed unwise to give possession to anyone close to Harry.” Would you mind expanding that for me? I just don't get why Dumbles would react so strongly, because this means that he IS close to Harry although Minerva isn't...but I don't get why that would bother him. Have Dumbledore and Sev been at odds with each other over Harry's treatment at the Dursley's? It seems as if they just kinda made up over it...with Sev's refusal to talk about it, even though he brought the subject up. *sigh* I just don't know about these guys. Pinth the bully...heahea.. Sev's obvious reluctance, more like outright refusal to use the charm is curious to me...does it really put Harry in that much danger? Granted, he's gotta hang out with Voldie for a period of time (but they don't even know for sure if Harry can cast it, or do they?) and that no doubt wouldn't be pleasant. But, really, when is Sev just going to do it?! You know that Harry's got to face Voldie at some point in time to defeat him because of the prophecy anyway...just make it easier and save some time with a teeny increase in danger and death and torture and do it NOW with the Charm! But then again, don't do it now, otherwise there'd be like two more chapters in the story...in that case I'd expect you to write a sequel...well, I still actually expect you to write a sequel! Ok, I think I've reached my limit! Have fun working on the next chapter...I have no idea what you've got planned...and I hate it! So drop us some hints on the Yahoo board, please! Have a good weekend! Author's Response: PK, you're too funny. Short? Don't think so! LOL Okay, let's see, to answer all your questions: --No, Dumbles and Sev haven't been at odds over the Dursleys per se, though Sev did yell at him about it once and Sev told him he should apologize. And Dumbles, though the last many chapters has been somewhat subdued, since way back when he almost got Remus killed. He cares about Harry but Harry has not been pleased with him lately and basically Sev was just trying to tell Dumbles, in his own bumbling way that he tried to explain to Harry that Dumbles didn't mean to hurt him and giving him permission to talk to Harry about it. There was a couple times (subtly) though some of the chapters that Dumbles has wanted to talk to Harry, but Sev denied him, because Harry would have just gotten angry about it. And, don't forget also that Dumbles has possession of one of the Horcruxes and without meaning to, Sev implied that that is okay as Dumbles is not close to Harry...at least with all this going on about the Dursleys and such, that's how Dumbles took it. Severus didn't really mean it that way though. But it is sorta true anyway. So, that makes Dumbles feel badly. Again, even though he's a bit of a coot, he does care about Harry. *shrug* The Charm: Okay think of it this way. If they attempted to use the Charm and it doesn't work...they've sorta lost their advantage and their element of surprise. That does put Harry in danger as he needs to be right there with Voldy to activate the Charm, or at least they assume... I thnk as well, Sev is in a bit of denial of Harry having to kill Voldy. Why would he want to think about that. And I think too he's hoping for a loose interpretation of the prophecy. It doesn't actually say Harry will kill Voldy, not that word specifically. LOL That Floo Box will be explained next chapter. LOL Yeah, Sev does realize Remus considers him that way and it makes him very, very uncomfortable. LOL Glad you liked Dumbles getting punche. Hee hee. ANd of course, Sev wanted to get to Harry. Yay, Sev Dad! Um, the practice Sev was referring to was yes the Occlumency but also because he did share a similar connection with Lily, so he does have some practice with a mind connection thing, though of course, Lily didn't share his talent so it was nowhere near as developed. Thanks for the review, PK. Hope that all made sense! :o)
Author's Response: LOL Well, right back at ya. I just reviewed your story. YAY! Yeah, I do like a Harry who's a bit more vulnerable. Okay, a lot more vulnerable. LOL Thanks so much though for your kind words. You're too nice. :o) Sev is so fun to write...I seriously never tire of him. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for letting me know. I love to hear from your talented self! :o)
I like how you mesh the present day with the past, it makes the story much more interesting and shows the way Severus matured and grew and lets us glimpse Lily too. Can't wait to see what they do with the Horcrux! And if you have time, please R&R my fanfic, it's just been posted. Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. It's been fun. And yeah, I really love the past and present here. I just love the idea of Snape and Lily together. Awww...
The whole reciprocal connection was well-written and developed nicely for both emotional and humorous effect. I thought it was hilarious when Harry is feeling a rush of warmth for Ginny at the dinner table, and Severus is up at the head table looking like he got hit in the head :) And the fact that he almost laughed! Almost! Come on, he's chuckled in Harry's mind, he has to laugh in person too. The conversation at the end was a really good one and shows how far along Severus has come as a father. He could have been hard on Harry or intentionally embarrassed him, but he handled it with a lot of sensitivity (and he said Ginny's name!) Anyway, really proud of him. And I'm proud of Harry too for trying to reach out to Draco (not that it did much, but still...) Author's Response: I'm so glad you noticed that little bit with Harry feeling his dad's fatherly pride. Yay! That makes me smile. It shows just how much things have really changed between them. The reciprocal connection was so incredibly fun to write. I really enjoyed that. Severus really did have rough time with that thouh. LOL Maybe we'll get him to laugh yet...hmmm...maybe not. LOL Yep, he did finally say Ginny's name. He's sorta got to, now that he knows how Harry feels about her. I think he realizes she may be in Harry's life for the long haul now. I'm proud of Sev too. LOL And yeah, Harry did try. Too bad Draco didn't try back. Stubborn Slytherin. :oP |
