Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I thought it'd be more in character for Slytherins, whose House values planning and cool calculation, to at least consider their options before charging ahead.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Yes, I know, I do love cliffhangers but at least you won't have to wait forever for the next chapter ^^
I love how you are bringing cannon events into the story while still making the plot your own. Really great job on characterization and plotting. I'm in awe. T Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm really glad thay you're enjoying it ^^
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Well, Lucius was an obvious choice, even more than the children could have possibly realised considering Lucius' position: not only would he know who had definately turned their backs on Voldemort, he would be able to summon half-a-dozen warlocks to accompany him. I'm glad you liked the kids reactions; away from the Gryff influence, Hermione has become rather more cautious and calculating and even Harry trys to think through his options. Draco's fury, Blaise's cutting sarcasm and Theo's tired resignation I thought were all in character ^^.
I'm glad that the examinations went well and are finally over. Now it's time for the children to have a little fun. I wonder how long it will take for the other children to begin to wonder where Harry is and start to inquire as to his whereabouts? Great chapter! Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I don't think that the room actually malfunctioned; my idea of Hogwarts is that the castle has a degree of sentience- how else would the shifting staircases have not resulted in any deaths! In DH, the Room of Requirement is able to place its exit anywhere in the castle and, as it never places the children directly in harms way, one wonders whether it 'senses' people with evil intent. If so, the RoR might have decided that Harry needed to know about Voldemort's plans and taken the opportunity to eject him in a place where a. he could hide and b. he could overhear their plans. Quirrell is able to speak parseltongue because, as you suggested, he and Voldemort are sharing a head.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed chapter 46: it was great fun to write ^^
Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^ Yup, we're heading towards the end-game; I hope you'll enjoy my version ^^
Author's Response: Thanks for the review ^^ I hope you'll enjoy it- just working on it now
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. I've always thought that Slytherin's reputation did not sit easily with the facts; why would Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have trusted a vicious, cruel, dark-arts obsessed killer, much less been friends with him?
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. Even in the canon, Petunia always seemed the main abuser; even though Vernon's a narrow-mindend bully, Petunia's hatred is so much deeper and darker. She's such a spiteful, resentful and jealous woman that I thought I wouldn't have to change her too much to fit the story. (Vernon, I know, has been altered quite a bit in that I've given his character a shot of empathy; however, to mirror Harry and Severus' lives it was necessary.) |
