Reviews For Baby in a Box
Author's Response: Thank you very much! The second part will be up today!
Great story1 I love the part where Harry tried to decorate the cauldrons and snitches by himself and made a gigantic mess! It reminds me of the time my nephew was five and wanted to "help" daddy bake cookies while mom was at work. His dad got a call on his cell, went to answer it and left his son alone in the kitchen with the cookie dough in a bowl. It only took about five minutes for him to have the dough all over the kitchen--the counter, the floor, everywhere including on the cookie sheets! Of course, at that precise instant, my sister walks in the door. She almost DIED! When she asked her son what he was doing he told her "helping dad bake!" She said it looked more like helping dad wreck the kitchen! And she sure wished she had magic to clean up! We still laugh over that one! I think Petunia must have sent the package with baby Harry in it. How cruel! He must have either contracted hypothermia or suffocated from being in the box. I'm not sure who else would have done such a thing. In a way, this story reminds me of my Away in a Manger, since a similar thing happened to Harry there. How old is Harry in this story? Author's Response: Hehe, kids can make such a mess in the kitchen! And Harry seems to be as gifted as your nephew in that department :)... I LOVE your story Away in a Manger (and it's a shame that I never reviewed, actually)! It's such a wonderful tale about growing up - both for Severus and Harry. I'm sure my story was partly inspired by the beginning of AIAM, which I have read and re-read at least five or six times. I hope you don't mind! Harry as a baby is eighteen months old; Harry in the backstory is six years old, and has lived with Severus for five years. Thank you very much for reviewing!
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it! Sadly, Snape has probably seen worse in his Death Eater days... but even so, he was still shocked by the delivery. Thank you very much for reviewing!
Loved how childish Harry is and how normal Snape is. Definitely a change from the usual dour, snarky Snapes seen in Christmas stories! Author's Response: I'm glad you like my version of Snape in this story; I think Harry taught him a lot over the years. Thank you very much for reviewing, the second part will be up soon!
I so look forward to the next part. Author's Response: Good guess - all shall be revealed in the next chapter! I'm glad you like it, thank you very much for reviewing!
Would anyone except Petunia know Snape's address and use Muggle post? Looking forward to the next part of the story as much as Harry is! Author's Response: I always felt that a huge part of Snape's bitterness is caused by his living and working in a place where he was never happy. So yes, deciding not to teach made a great difference. I'm glad you liked the Snape/Harry interaction, thank you! Part 2 will be up very soon.
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing!
Author's Response: Albus is as always looking out for his boys... As for the cauldron cutters, they're sold in Baker's Dozen, a little bakery in Diagon Alley where Sev gets a discount because he supplies the baker with flavorless food coloring (that's why Harry got to pick so many)! Thank you for reviewing! |
