Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: I imagine that it would pain Lucius to agree with Dumbledore about anything lol! However, his son is always his first priority and Lucius will do anything to keep him happy and safe- even if it means endorcing Dumbledore's rules.
Author's Response: Yup, it's going to be fun in the Serpents' Nest ^^
Can I just say that I love, love, love these letters?! As this story is for the most part, dark, the letters are perfect! I hope you write more in the future! Author's Response: Thanks: I really enjoy writing the letters although I do tend to spend about 20% of the time writing the first draft and 80% revising/editing it lol! In the canon, J.K. Rowling mentions Draco regularly receiving owls from his parents so I thought that it'd be fun to have a few of them as interludes; firstly, they allow me to lay down information and, secondly, they do, as you say, provide a bit of fluffiness in a somewhat gritty plot. It's great to know that they're enjoyed.
Great chapter! Author's Response: Yes, children are invariably funny when they're trying to manipulate their parents into buying them something unsuitable. (Draco will never outsmart Lucius but, as he has his father by the heartstrings, the little brat invariably gets his own way lol.)
Author's Response: Yup, it's one of those inevitables; if one kid in a class has a goldfish, the next will want a siamese fighting fish and there's always one who will bully his indulgent parents into getting him a piranha...
Author's Response: Definately: children's pet envy is the bane of parenthood lol
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. I find it irritating when writers upload documents which are brimming with errors too (I'm dyslexic and I can manage to produce relatively error free documents just by using a spell-checker.) Hope you continue to enjoy the story
I'm also tickled that you used my suggestion for the snake's name. Reggie remids me of Longfellow, the ball python that lived in a tank in our biology classroom when I was in high school. He loved water about as much as it sounds like Reggie does. I hope that Hedwig doesn't stay in too much of a snit. I liked the spell to change Harry's voice. It makes sense that if you have a potion to change your appearance there has to be something to change your voice, too. This was very fun and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I hope you have a nice weekend. Bravissimi! Author's Response: Well, as you probably know by now, Hedwig had a reason for being a bit, well, hormonal: she was about to lay eggs!
Author's Response: I hope the following chapters don't dissapoint, then ^^ I've got lots planned for what remains of the autumn term
I find it interesting and useful that the snakes could sense that something was off about both Harry and Severus. I wonder how this talent might help in the future? I think Hedwig is feeling a bit jealous of Harry's new familiar. Hopefully, she will get over it soon and won't cause too many problems. Great chapter! Author's Response: Yes, it seemed sensible that the snake-handler should be a parselmouth, especially as those who have the gift of parseltongue are most likely (other than slytherin children, of course) to want snakes as pets^^ Snakes are very perceptive and can probably see through most glamours, mainly because the glamours were designed to fool humans, whose senses are practically negligable compared to most animals |
