Reviews For An Uncertain Future
Author's Response: "Sorry," she says sheepishly. "I'll do better next time." "Thanks for the compliment," she says, and takes a bow! :) " "Next one will be up soon," she promises, and crosses her fingers that she can deliver!
Author's Response: I think that having the Dark Magic gone from his system, will make Harry less defensive and combative, and hopefully him and Draco can make peace with each other. They do have a lot in common, but can they put the past behind them. I don't know. We'll see.
Yeah, Snape and Harry are starting to feel more comfortable with each other. It's hard because Harry is a little older in this story as compared to most others, so it's natural that the acceptance will take longer.
Author's Response: Now, would "I" do that! (Innocent look)
Aw, don't worry. I'm not "that" evil! ;)
-P.G. P.S. I'm surprised Sev didn't ever bring the dream back up with Harry--I thought he would. Was it important? Author's Response: Ooh,you have to wait and see! Thanks, I'll try to update soon.
I think that Severus and Harry were a little caught up in Harry's little episode with Malfoy, but they will discuss the dream, among OTHER things!! Hee hee. LOL. Evil laugh again. (Tabitha is such a bad influence on me. Her evil Dairy Queeness is definitely rubbing off!)
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much!! :)
It was almost as if you had gotten the names mixed up in the part where Harry was taunting Draco, because it was exactly the ssort of thing draco excels at. It seemed sort of wrong for such immature and hurtful things to be coming out of Harry's mouth. Harry really isn't into revenge. I know it's the dark magic being in control, but he didn't feel the least little bit of guilt or discomfort afterwards like he usually does, even though the dark magic is present. He is always remorseful when he goes off at severus. Enjoyable chapter though. Lesley Author's Response: Sorry! I'm becoming evil though with those cliffies, aren't I?
Well, I guess Harry is still sore about Draco's betrayl, and he's still very irritable from not sleeping, as well as being nervous about the ritual, and whether it will be effective. Once the Dark Magic is gone, Harry won't be so combative and cruel. I hope! :) Hee hee!
I think that he feels remorseful with Severus because he knows that Severus cares about him, and that Severus has been his rock throughout this whole ordeal. What has Draco ever done for him? Years and years of taunting and cruelty at Draco's hands have made Harry rather bitter, but a lot of this is the Dark Magic. As time goes on, the Dark Magic takes more and more control of Harry's freewill. He's trying to fight it, but it's difficult. Hopefully though, Harry will be back to normal soon. But then again, Harry will have "other" challenges to overcome. Hee hee. Evil cackle!
I thought Severus was very rude and very irresponsible slamming the door in Ginny's face like that when she had walked Harry back to the dungeons. It is still after curfew and Ginny is out and about alone now. And the last little bit was very, very intriguing. You got over your writers block big time. Wish I could. Lesley~ Author's Response: Actually, I wrote my chapter before Tabitha's last two chapters, so I didn't know that she was going to have Ginny and Harry break up. I was just waiting for her to beta it but she's been busy.
Yeah Severus is rude, but hey that's the norm for the guy, isn't it? I laughed when I read the bit about Harry and Ginny falling asleep because I had already written my little scene. But Tabitha hadn't even time to look at it yet, so I thought that it was funny that we both coincidently had similiar scenes!!
Oh thatnks, but I don't know how well I got over it! :) I was just glad to be writing SOMETHING, even if it sucked.
It's funny but I had a reviewer on ffnet ask for me toi have Ginny and Harry have some rough patches, in the interest of realism. Mind you, she's not a Ginny and Harry fan like we are, but I do have something up my sleeve, but rest assured, I love Ginny and Harry together, so any ups and downs are only temporary. Okay, so I won't say more, because it's going to ruin my plot.
I love that Sev and Harry's relationship is advancing...it is lovely to read the positive emotions emanating from Sev and Harry's confused feelings coalescing into hope and a fledgling affection. I was a bit disappointed to find another fic though that portrays Gryffindors as being all brawn and no brain and Minerva as anything but a good head of house. Also Harry wishing that he was a Slytherin. Being placed in one house does not stop you from being able to exercise the traits of the other houses. The hat would not have put Harry in Gryffindor if he did not have the attributes to be there. But he obviously had the traits that would have put him in Slytherin too and just because he wasn't there, doesn't mean he couldn't develop those traits. After all, Slytherins don't have lessons in how to be devious and self-serving and glory-seeking, just as Gryffindors do not have lessons in how to be brave and chivalrous. Harry never said, 'put me in Gryffindor', he said, 'not Slytherin. If he is so dense, he could have been put in Hufflepuff. Though we never find out as fact that DD was in Gryffindor, it is pretty much universally accepted. Why wasn't he in Ravenclaw with his brains. Also, the same could be said for Tom Riddle...another brainiac who was placed in Slytherin but still displayed amazing brain power at school. For that matter, Sev was also a brainiac and he was put in Slytherin instead of Ravenclaw. I understand that authors who are huge Snape fans are also Slytherin fans and often poo poo Gryffindor, but there is no getting away from the fact that in canon, most of the Slytherins are lying, cheating, devious, nasty little turds! Excuse the French. Anyway, I am sure you get my drift. I am always disappointed when Harry bemoans the fact he was a Gryffindor in fics, even fics where Sev is his father. Lily is his mother and she was a Gryffindor. Why should the Slytherin influence be more important than the Gryffindor one? Anyway, I am pontificating again so I will shut up now and go and read the next chapter. No I won't! Just thought of something else. Just because Harry played Quidditch in first year doesn't mean the rules were bent to allow him to do so. There was no rule to prevent first years palying Quidditch. It is just that there had not been such a young kid (seeker) on a house team for a century. The rule that was bent was that Harry was given his own broom in his first year and allowed to use it. Now I have finished. LOL. Lesley~ Author's Response: Well, I think that I was trying to see everything from Severus' point of view, and Harry wanting to be in Slytherin had more to do with him possibly becoming closer to Severus, and not because he didn't appreciate being a Gryffinodr. I didn't mean to imply that Minerva was a bad Head of House, but more that Albus put Harry very often in danger and allowed some things to slide that Severus wouldn't have. Again though, it is more to do with Severus' perception of Harry being allowed to break the rules all the time. Harry did get away with quite a bit if you think of it. Even when he was punished, the consequences were quite minimal. Harry constantly wandered around the palace under his invisibility cloak and constantly put himself in danger. I'm not saying that Minerva was the problem, it was more Albus I would say. Yes, it is true that the rule that was bent was about having the broom.. I'm not trying to say that Harry would have been better in Slytherin and that Gryffindors have no redeeming qualities, just that this is Severus' perception of it all.
But the next SC chapter will have lots of mush, too, so I don't know...I'll get to one or the other again soon, lol! Thanks again, Pandora! Author's Response: Oh I thought that I answered this, but I guess not. Oh, and I thoroughly enjoyed it Kristeh. I can't wait for the next chappie and for LC too!
You kind of left us hanging there girl!
He did bring Severus back and somehow, I just can't believe that that is entirely a bad thing. And many people would be incredibly tempted if they had the power to bring a loved one back to life after losing them. Maybe bringing someone back to life after death is the wrong thing, but it would be very, very difficult if you were grieving and heartbroken and had the abiility to not bring your loved one back. Now, yeah, at the time Harry did this, he and Severus did not love one another then, so Harry was not in the same stage of grief...but he still had this longing for a family, for the chance to get to know his father. And I just can't really blame him. I don't know...it was wrong, I suppose, but like I said, I just can't believe that it was a mistake and I hate for Harry to keep feeling ashamed. Oh, I don't know...maybe I'm not making any sense, but I would kind of like for Severus and the others to reassure Harry that they understand that at least it was a difficult circumstance or something like that. Well, maybe that doesn't make any sense, and of course you are doing a wonderful job of telling your story so I'm not trying to be pushy or anything about it...but that was just something that has occurred to me and I do feel a lot of sympathy for Harry, and I don't want him to feel ashamed or that he was stupid, when I think it was very understandable, something that many, many people would have done, and maybe could end up being a good thing after all. Okay, I'm done now, lol! Author's Response: You know what. I think that you are absolutely right. I can just picture a lovely fluffy moment between Harry and Severus (or as fluffy as Snape can get) and Severus turns around, choked with emotion and says to Harry that he's proud of him and very pleased that Harry would do something so selfless, just to give him a second chance. Then they can all hold hands and sing Cumbaya. Uh, just kidding! :)
But definitely I'm going to write a scene where Severus comforts Harry (in his own way) and he shows his gratitude that they've gotten a second chance. It won't be too touch feeliy, because Severus would kill me, but look forward to a "moment".
Aw, let's give Harry a hug. He's going to need it soon. Ooops, (zipping my mouth shut) I didn't say that. Hee hee. I really believe that Tabitha has rubbed some of her evil off on me. But I can understand. It's just so much fun to write turmoil and angst.
Speaking of which. I really really really really want to read SC!!! I'm getting withdrawl. :0 |
