Reviews For Broken Wings
Title: To Outwit A Dark Lord 07 May 2009 8:00 pm
Reviewer: Pandora (Signed) [Report This]
    Wow. I don't know if Sirius will ever accept Snape as Harry's guardian, but that was one intense screaming match. Yikes. Poor Harry though. I really hope that things work out for them. Harry needs the support of both his Godfather and his guardian, and doesn't need them at each other's throat.

    I really hope that Sirius comes around. I'm anxious to see what happens with the trap and Voldie.

    I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah it was very intense.  But then, those two can really go at it.  That's very true and hopefully they can resolve this. 

    You can see the trap soon as I'll be posting ASAP.

    If Harry could transform, I bet he would just fly off and live as a hawk. I think I would. He no longer has Severus, his life is hell and he has nothing but the Dursleys to look forward to after he fails his exams. That's if he doesn't collapse in a heap from overwork.

    Author's Response: He would, most likely.  Right now he is at the lowest point he has ever been in.  Right where Umbridge wants him.  But things will start to get better after awhile.  Once Severus stops being an idiot.

    Author's Response: Yes, Severus's temper nearly ruins everything here.  Thanks!

    Wow, what an entrance! Go, Harry/Freedom!

    Can't wait to see the fallout with Severus.

    Author's Response:

    Harry knows how to make an entrance all right!

    Ah, and that will not be pretty! Not at all.

Title: Things Fall Apart 07 May 2009 2:15 pm

    How come Neville wasn't in detention with Ron and Hermione. He was given the same punishment as them after all.

    I can't believe that perfectionist Hermione was so foolish as to leave a piece of parchment of such importance loose in her bag instead of securing it away in a book, or disgusing the letter from a known felon as something innocuous.

    Umbridge definitely seems to be winning the war.

    Author's Response:

    Umbridge split them up.  The prefects were given detention together.  It wasn't mentioned because I was focusing more on Harry and Severus and Freedom's war with Umbridge. 

    Well, even Hermione can make mistakes and it was chance that the letter happened to fall out then. It happens. 

    She does, doesn't she?  But not for long.

Title: Umbridge vs. Freedom 07 May 2009 12:59 pm
Reviewer: wrappedinharry (Signed) [Report This]
    Well, Freedom certainly started something and it couldn't happen to a nicer woman.

    Draco is still unrepentent I see...still causing trouble for others.

    I think it sad that HArry now thinks so ill of his father and yet, he can forgive Severus for all his ill-treatment. James isn't alive to tell his side of the story and Severus is hardly an unbiased party, is he? And Harry doesn't find it a bit awful that Severus only laments Lily's death but is probably very glad that James also died at Voldemorts hands.

    Harry's list of people he previously cared for and now despises is growing at an alarming rate.

    I seem to be the only one worried about that though I see after looking at some of your other reviews.

    And also, DD is proven to be totally ineffectual again. It was Severus' idea to bring Firenze in to teach. How he has been headmaster for so long is a real mystery.

    Author's Response:

    Yes, and she really deserves all of it. 

    Draco is now being encouraged to cause trouble by Umbridge as the head of her Inquisitorial Squad.

    No, Severus isn't unbiased, but Hagrid is and Hagrid agreed that James was a bully and nasty to Severus especially.  Of course Harry would feel upset upon learning that, since he too was a victim of another bully--his cousin.  And while he is upset at James, he doesn't despise him.  He now sees him as an ordinary person--not a perfect hero.  Because, that's how he was presented to harry by DD and Sirius and Remus--they totally overlooked how he hurt another person for years and as Sev says, it wasn't just him, others were hurt too by their so called pranks.  In canon, Lily tells James that he goes around hexing people in the hallways and thinks he's all that because he plays Quidditch.  She despises him because of his arrogance and willingness to hurt another person--"because he exists".  The fact was that the Marauders were a bunch of bullies and as I said before, I hate people like that.  So, I'm going to point that out over and over.  And Harry knows that eventually James grew up, if he hadn't Lily wouldn;t have married him.  And he became a decent person, but as a teenager he was awful. 

    And no, Sev wasn't perfect either, but Harry sees the remorse from him and that seeing makes it easier for him to accept Severus's failings. Remember, Sev came back after two weeks as a DE, and yet was still despised by Sirius and possibly James as well. And neither of them ever expressed remorse for what they did to him in school, so he has no reason to feel fondly towards them. Plus, all this time as Severus's familiar  has softened Harry towards the other.  He knows Severus has spent his life atoning for following the dark Path, 14 years as a spy enduring Voldemort.  But he still has some issues with him as well, for bringing te prophecy to Voldemort.

    Harry, at this point, only is upset and angry with Dumbledore and rightly so.  He still counts Ron and Hermione as a friends and he still loves Sirius, but needs to discuss why he behaved the way he did at school, because that really bothers him.

    I thought it would be neat for McGonagall and Sev to team up and suggest that to Trelawney and DD.  And DD defends her in canon, but doesn't seem to do much more than that afterwards.  But at least here a reason is given why that's so.  There never was one in the books and it puzzled me.

    Good chapter. Harry certainly heard some eye-opening facts.

    Author's Response: Yes, he did, a lot of things that he never knew about Severus.

    WWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
    Go HArry!!!!
    AWesome chapter! I loved the yelling!

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, Harry told him just what he thought, no holds barred.

    He really let off some steam there! But it was bound to happen, given Sirius's current attitude.
