Reviews For When the Boat Comes In
Author's Response: Lol! Yup, Salazar is pretty persuasive; introduce Hissy to Harry or wait till he finds the basilisk himself. Poor Severus.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I think Salazar, while very useful in some respects, causes Severus a fair amount of worry in others (particularly the basilisk issue lol!) He's like one of those Grandfathers who sneakily manipulate their children into allowing their grandchildren to do many interesting, exciting but not absolutely safe things.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^
I can just imagine how hard it is for the children to remain still for what probably seems like lifetimes to them. Children are rarely good at sitting still at all...let alone for long stretches of time. Great chapter! By the way...I loved the Goldilocks comment. I wonder how Lucius would react to being called that to his face? Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I thought that, as the entrance to the RoR is shown to be able to open anywhere in the castle, DH, it might have been that way for a reason; as Slytherin obviously had a talent for magical architecture, maybe the Basilisk didn't travel in the pipes, maybe it had it's own little portal to wherever it needed to be. Of course, this has obvious problems for Severus lol! (I don't know whether Lucius would be flattered or outraged at Salazar's nickname; it's something to be distinguished by such a wizard as Slytherin but...)
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you like my portrayal of them :)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Harry will never get over his abuse; even though he's very happy now, the memories are, naturally, very upsetting. However, these memories will teach Harry compassion and empathy, so it helps him in one respect and, as the years pass, the grief will fade.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ hope you enjoy it
Mila Author's Response: Of all the Slyths, Harry is the most inclined to forgive Ron because, having been rejected himself, he will be able to empathise with the jealous, angry boy. Ron doesn't exactly deserve it but Harry forgave him plenty of times in the canon when he didn't deserve it lol.
Author's Response: Yes, I think Molly is going to have a long, loooong chat with her son and point out to him that Harry has done nothing wrong and, if Ron wanted Harry to be his friend, insulting him and picking on those close to him wasn't the best idea. Whether Ron will listen or not is another thing entirely. Thanks for the review
Author's Response: I don't think Molly is encouraging Ron to accept the offer, she is merely annoyed at his bad-manners and unfairness to Harry (remember, Fred and George like the first-year Slyths and would have defended Harry if Ron spoke about him in a disparaging manner at home.) However, Ron is still Ron; the canon character would not hurt an owlet and my portrayal of Ron is, hopefully, rather akin to the resentful, snide Ron we see in Goblet of Fire, rather than a different character entirely. |
