Reviews For Come What May
Author's Response: Thank you Morgan! Lol, :)
Author's Response: Thanks.
I enjoyed seeing the classes, and I really like Harry's animagus form...I'm curious as to what Draco's might have been. It's good that Harry's making a little more progress with Occlumency and hopefully Draco will be able to help with that. I loved how the Gryffindors were so happy to see Harry. I wonder if Draco might be feeling a little jealous, or sad, or something, cause it's obvious that Harry has true friends who love him, while I don't think Draco does. I can't wait to see what the Gryffindors will do! Author's Response: I had no idea what Draco would be so I left it out. Who's to say it won't showe up later though, his form could be a ferrit. It would explain why he was so touchy about it, lol. Thank you Kristeh for a brilliant review!
I'm glad to hear that Harry's secrets are safe. I'd hate to think that Malfoy could use information against him, especially in a dangerous way. I don't know if Draco would...I'm hoping Harry will be a good influence on him, but I don't know... Author's Response: Yes, Harry is maturing. My baby's growin up, (sob) Anyway, thank you so much!
Loved where Harry dragged Draco through the Hall...that was a very funny image, and Draco deserved it. I'm glad the Ravenclaws were decent to Harry. Author's Response: (Beams) Thank you.
I don't think it's too bad...I do think Draco should have been punished more severely than Harry (but that may be partly because I love Harry so much that I feel very protective of him, and Draco gets on my last nerve. And that's not at all a criticism of your writing, because you're portraying him perfectly.) I just see Draco as a major spoiled brat, but that's how he was in canon for me, too...yeah, it's understandable considering his background, but still a brat. In canon, there were times when I felt some sympathy for him, but I also felt that he never grew or changed or felt any real remorse for his actions. But in fanfics, he does have the potential to become a better person, and maybe he will here, too. But of course, it is your story and you have every right to write it the way you want to. Your 'punishment' certainly is far from the worst thing Harry has been through, and I've definitely read fics where he's treated much, much worse, so this isn't too bad, and really it could even end up being a positive thing if it helps Draco to change and perhaps leads to a friendship. I could even see that being Dumbledore's motivation here. All that being said, I absolutely agree with Foolish Wishmaker...an author has to be true to herself (or himself). If you aren't happy with what you write, it will show and it probably won't take long for you to get tired of writing. After all, this is supposed to be a fun and relaxing hobby for us (We're too old to play with the little action figure dolls now, aren't we? So we have to do something instead!) And if anyone gives you grief, just tell them (politely of course, *grin*) that they can always write their own story and have things happen the way they like! Anyway, I'm looking forward to how Harry and Draco cope this bond, and I think it's an excellent story! Author's Response: Man, It's only now that I realize how long it's taken me to respond. I'm sorry about that by the way. I assure you that being attached to Harry is bad for Draco. It really does something to his Malfoy pride. I do regret not taking points or something. I can not give him detention because Harry would have to tag along. Is it to late to change some things...I wonder. I sure hate going back and re-doing the story but some things do get mentioned a lot, and not in a good way so I may change them when the story is over. I'm glad you like my Draco. I just thought of him as a mean, self centered git and tada! Lol, he will get better but this won't be a fioc whee he changes over night. It will take time and trouble before anything major changes. I think the short scene at the end of book 7 showed us that Malfoy had grown up. He may not of liked Harry but he nodded at him, in a show of...respect? Something, but it was better then nothing. Thank you for reviewing, hope by response did not bore you, lol.
Author's Response: Thank you. Yes, i wanted Draco to seem realistic even though I REALLY wanted him to be nice about the prank. He's not to that level yet, sadly.
Author's Response: History is already being changed. For better or for worse though? That is the question. Thanks for reviewing.
Author's Response: ROFL, that sounds great. Draco would not agree though, lol.
Author's Response: Thank you for your detailed review. I'd love to make Draco run, maybe I will. Yes, the response from the school was not what people expected. I think they wanted Draco to run to the Daily Prophet. I think that it would just give Harry more attention and why would Draco want MORE attention on Harry? He thinks Harry likes it. Plus, the news he gave to the Prophet last year was more hurtful to Harry's 'reputation'. Lies about him being with Hermione and such. Telling the Prophet that Harry was abused, mistreated or neglected would send showers of pity on Harry’s head. And while Harry would hate that, Draco does not know him well enough to know that. Draco loves being treated like royalty and he loves attention. He’ll wait to find something about Harry that will ruin the boy-who-lived, then he will tell the Wizarding world. While I would love to write a chapter where the world finds out about Harry’s home life, Draco will probably not be the one to tell anyone IF it happens. About Draco’s behavior, he is still making judgments about Harry. I tend to take things slow because Draco is not going to wake up and like Harry one day. Just because that has not happened yet, does not mean it won’t happen. So please stick around and I’ll try to get things going. Thanks, Scorpia |
