Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
I liked the fish explanation! Author's Response: Thanks. The logic behind the pensieve is simple; if a child thinks they deserved to be abused (which, tragically, often happens) one shows them another child being abused, which will force the child to accept that, in this situation, the abuser is in the wrong, not the abused. Once this point is established, it is easier to convince the child that they were merely an innocent victim and that the abuser them was wholly in the wrong. It may seem a little harsh but, if Harry couldn't accept that he did not deserve to be abused, he would never recover. (Also, 1. Harry saw Slytherin's 'happy ever after' first, 2. the more violent memories were cut to a bare minimum and 3. he saw Slytherin being rescued.)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Yes, I had fun inventing those few which were original :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Yes, I wish I could just zap certain images from my mind onto the page too ^^
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ All will be revealed ;)
Severus is going to kill Albus about the candy in his cauldrons. Author's Response: Quite probably: as a dyslexic (who attempted to write nail varnish 'nail narnish' and then spent a good 5 minutes staring at the word, trying to work out where I'd gone wrong) this is one of my favourite quotes.

Charity seems like a lot of fun. I wonder if she will be the one to give a more feminine touch into Harry's life? Great chapter! Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like my portrayal of Charity and hope you continue to enjoy the story Author's Response: Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: He definately does; canon Lucius is shown to be an indulgent father (for example the Nimbus 2001's) and to love his son more than life itself- literally: he argues with the Dark Lord during the battle of Hogwarts so that he can find his son. However, as always, there's another motive; Lucius wants to be 'nice Mr Malfoy' not 'Malfoy the Death Eater' in Harry's eyes so sending a few quill-tips/sweets is a good investment.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ Glad you liked it :)
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I thought that it'd be a very Slytherin tactic: show the kids other children being abused and say 'did they deserve it' and, when the child answers 'of course not', say 'well neither did you'. Psychological, manipulative and, generally speaking, effective. |
