Reviews For Sinking Feeling
Author's Response: Lol, I couldn't resist - so glad you enjoyed it!
You've wonderfully exploited the "uniting against a common foe" premise, including both Umbrigde and - fleetingly - Voldemort, which makes the interaction between Harry and Snape all the more believable. I mean, converting canon to fanon AND make it plausible is no easy feet, but you've managed to do it with remarkable ease. Masterfully done piece! Author's Response: That's wonderful to hear! ...err, read! Thank you for the canon compliment - I did think adding in Snape doodling kittens might be pushing it a bit, but the darn plot bunnies wouldn't let me leave it out :D Glad you enjoyed!
The idea of Snape framing Umbridge for consorting or thinking of consorting with the Dark Lord is awesome! Especially since it gets rid of her. Pity that wasn't done in canon. It was very funny when Snape said "Miss Granger, if you continue to behave as you have been doing most recently, I may even begin to find you mildly tolerable...” Hermione really did seem to be channeling Snape in this fic. Awesome job! Author's Response: Thank you - I'm glad you found it enjoyable! I originally meant to end it with Snape helping Harry back to the castle, but I found I couldn't resist adding the Umbridge bit in, so I'm thrilled you liked that bit. She should definitely got more come-uppance in canon! Hermione and Snape certainly do seem to play off each other well don't they - oh no, an unholy partenership! :D
Thank you for the story. Author's Response: I'm glad to hear you liked it! - and thank you for reviewing!
I love how you twisted the "Occlumency disaster" into Harry finding doodles of cats. ;-} I do have one question, who's wand did Umbridge snap? I know that it wasn't Harry's, and I sincerely doubt that it was Snape's. Was it a spare that Snape kept in his robes "just in case"? I loved Snape accioing the owl! I just about died laughing, I'm still laughing about it. I can just see Severus standing there, wand in the air, and the owl coming down, flapping and screeching the whole way. ;-} I also really liked how Snape and Hermione got along and all. I loved when Snape told Hermione that he was "the one berating him for his stupidity", and that she could do so later. ;-} All in all, incredible story! I loved every second of it. Leilia Oh, and I think that you might have one thing to correct. When Snape is talking with Rita Sketter he says, "I will introduce to one of the most untraceable, painful poisons at my disposal." I think that it should be, "introduce you to one". Just thought that I might mention that. ;-} Author's Response: Heh - I got kidnapped by an insane plot bunny! There was me trying to write a hurt/comfort, but the craziness kept getting in the way! I shall definitely find a way to work that into the text next chance I get, but in the mean time - it was just a spare wand Snape was carrying around. After all, I thought a spy would have a few. Lol, I can see that poor owl too! Glad you liked the Snape and Hermione bits - and thanks for you review, I loved reading it! I shall have a look at the Skeeter/Snape bit and see what I can do (that bit was a little rushed I'm afraid...)
Yay for Harry, Sev, and Hermione taking Umbridge down! Nice way for the toad to go away. It was a very Slytherin approach to the situation. I really liked this Harry and Snape, and it makes me wonder how those summer lessons went. Great job. Author's Response: Ah, I couldn't resist the popcorn :D I'm glad you enjoyed the crazy whimsicality - and liked my method of toad-bashing! Hmm, if I come up with a good enough plot bunny, we might see those summer lessons, but I'm afraid it may be quite a while before that happens... Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think they didn't get too 'fanon-ised' - and Umbridge, of course, was fantastic fun to take out! I think she should have got a much worse lot in canon...
Author's Response: Thank you!
Author's Response: Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed! I think actually my idea of adding getting rid of Umbridge in this fic came from what you did in your story 'Broken Wings', so thank you very much for inspiring me (even though mine isn't quite as wonderfully dramatic as a Stymphalian Bird)! Hmm, I wonder what those boys will get up to next... |
