Reviews For Never Again!
As for the Tobias issue; I hope they can talk things out soon. Poor Sev has every right to feel negative feelings for his father, but seeing how Tobias is really trying to make amends they really need to have a talk face-to-face and hear the other one out. Next chapter sounds interesting. The circus huh? Hope no one is afraid of clowns! Lol. Personally I find them a bit annoying. I’m also curious as to what Matt has to say. Can’t wait! P.S. I’m also curious about what Zabini will be like. On the topic of friends, I hope if Harry meets Ron and Hermione in your story that their friendship will remain. I’ve come across so many fics where basically Ron and Draco switch places, all because Harry was raised by/goes into Slytherin. Personally that really irks me because not only do I like Ron, he’s a good character, but Ron was Harry’s first best friend, and I can never see Harry and Draco as more then acquaintances because frankly Draco is prejudiced and a bully. Author's Response: Yes, they do, which was why I had Sev punish him that way. You'll notice--Harry's idea of the worst punishment is being ignored or bored--not spanked. Sev and Tobias's talk will be coming up in two chapters and it will be very emotional, so be prepared. I do have Harry being friends with Ron in this story, but right now I've focused on Blaise as well, there's no reason why Haryr can't have two good guy friends, right? And if I continue with a sequel, hermione will make an appearance too. I like both of them and I really don't care much for Draco, especially since in this fic Lucius is Severus' enemy and tried to kill him. So Harry won't be making friends with a Malfoy.
Author's Response: No, I hadn't planned on them being in here, unless it's as a cameo, that's why they're not listed as major characters. Instead I've focused a bit on Blaise Zabini here, he'll be friends with Harry as well as Ron. Not much is known about him, so I can make him act like whoever I want. Thanks for your review!
Sure, Harry behaved badly, but Severus doesn't say one single word about breaking his own promise to the boy. Harry's too young to understand 'later' and it's entirely reasonable for him to think they are not going to the park at all with the call his father received - it probably happened before. Severus could have found another solution (take the call in the park with a privacy ward put up) but he chose to ignore Harry and his previous promise instead. And then he ignores him again as punishment? *shakes head* read a book on parenting, Sev! Oooh...I'm curious to see if Matt finally believes Severus and is on his side instead of (like everyone else) insisting that Severus forgive Tobias. Author's Response: True, there are many different ways Sev could've handled it, but hey he's not perfect. As for Matt you will find out a good deal about his past and the reason why he was urging Severus to reconcile with Tobias.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Great chapter as always. I can't wait to hear what Matthew has to say about Tobias. I can't wait for the conversation between Sev and Tobias. I'm excited just thinking about it! Amazing chapter. Post as soon as you can, please. :) Author's Response: Oh, you're right! Good thing Harry isn't you! LOL! And Matthew has a lot to say about his own father as well as Tobias. And the Tobias/ Sev conversation is being developed right now!
Author's Response: Got that right, he's a typical kid!
That is a punishment I used one time. Kris had done something wrong and I had grounded him. He decided that he wasn't going to be grounded and there was nothing I could do about it. I told him that my son was obedient and therefore, if Kris did not except his punishment, he was obviously just a visitor - he would be treated with politeness and nothing else. After two days of extreme courtesy and no good nights or anything, Kris came to me and asked how long his "groundation" was to be. I never had to use it again. Author's Response: Yeah, that sounds like something my nephew did once. Kids hate being ignored, that's one thing I learned when I used to watch my nephews. The silent treatment works! LOL!
-Elise Author's Response: yes he is, even when he's bad! :) Makes it hard for his dad to punish him sometimes. And the reunion is coming!
Author's Response: Thanks very much and I might just do that, if I can come up with a different plotline.
Author's Response: Yes, he does and I actually got the idea for that punishment from something the Amish in PA do to discipline their children or erring members of their community. They call it shunning and it works much like the punishment Severus gave only for much longer and it is only given out in extreme cases. |
