Reviews for Highly Improbable

Sniv 2005.08.31 - 08:22AM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
I am now in serious need of chocolate! ... I admire the way you mix HBP-facts into your story - amazing! I would like to quote something but I'm still quite depressed...Dumbledore's talk with Snape made me realize that there is hope, but for now I'll go hunting for chocolate! Karina - you need to update! ...and it doesn't help that No Doubt's 'Don't Speak' is on the radio either!

Author's Response: Don't worry, Sniv. Things will work out fine. But keep the chocolate handy for a couple more chapters. :-)

Dear Merlin...*sniff*.... this really brought tears to my eyes, and I am not the sort that cries easily, but I hold Clancy so dear to me; she is like this friend that you see once in a while but that is always there for you. I can’t wait to see them back together, saying good bye was just too discouraging and sad. I liked the way Dumbledore showed him he does have a chance in life; knowing about a perfectly normal life out of that madness will surely make him do his best to survived. I can’t wait to read the next chapter ….*sniff* … even though I know it will let us know how she forgets her life in the wizarding world; but not Snape -thanks to his Slytherin solution she will probably had wonderful dreams about him : )

Author's Response: This was the chapter I didn't want to write, but it had to come eventually. I'm feeling terrible about depressing everyone, but their reunion will be all the sweeter because of all they've been through...or maybe I'll just make Snape lose his trousers again. :-D No really, I'm hoping to draw this to a satisfying conclusion within a few more chapters.

Truly amazing, Vocalion! You managed to propel your story forward, yet tie up lots of loose ends and incorporate those mandatory canon points seamlessly. I didn't cry or feel sad, though...I just KNOW they are destined to be! (And the daughter is the qualifying evidence.) What's a happy ending without some serious emotional turmoil beforehand? I look forward to reading what happens to Clancy when she boards that jet and how she is reunited with Severus. No wonder you're my favorite fanfic writer!

Author's Response: Thank you, SIW! Now, if we could only convince JKR that they are destined to be... ;-D

**SOB** Sometimes humour strengthens the tragic side of a story - I almost cried reading this chapter... Fortunately I know all will end well, and the existence of Salacia (and Dumbledore's cheerful prospect of his portrait exchanging anagrams with her) perked me up a little. *sniff* You're so brilliant. I'll be more than happy to illustrate the 'ferocious kiss' ;-).

Author's Response: You can illustrate anything for me anytime, anywhere! And I am completely flattered that you even want to. It wasn't my intention to make everyone sad with this chapter. The timing of their parting is how I had planned it from the start, but I suppose due to HBP, it makes it all the more depressing. But yes, I think it is safe to say their future is looking bright. Thanks, Sigune! :-)

Sylvana 2005.08.25 - 04:31AM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
What a great surprise - an update! I loved how you tied all the little hints and information from earlier books and HBP together. Things like Narcissa delivering sweets to Draco... we were told how much she cares for him in the past, she sent sweets, she didn't want him to go to Durmstrang - and that was the perfect preparation for her actions in HBP. And here she is, delivering sweets in person, a caring, devoted mother, whatever faults she may have otherwise. And there are more of these little things in your story that make it so enjoyable - in addition to the great humour of course. I, too, loved the Dumbledore scene. Telling Snape to grow up - perfect! I only hope that someone finally tells Clancy to grow up as well. Without the funny parts she can be a bit irritating in her cluelessness. She does have a good brain... hopefully she'll start to use it for more than anagrams soon. Walking away from the second task... I wanted to shake her, LOL (I guess that just shows how real she seems). So, for both of them to be good companions for each other, they both have a bit of growing up to do I guess. I can't wait to read more. I'm looking forward to your summary of events and how you'll wiggle Snape out of his future predicament. I'm looking forward to Clancy's floating memory bits... and hoping for many more bizarre and funny moments with those two. Here, have some chocolate to keep the muse in a good mood ... ;) Sylvana

Author's Response: My main reason for keeping Clancy in the dark, is because I thought it would be amusing to diminish Harry's part in the story and instead, promote minor characters to more prominent roles, such as Eloise Midgen. Perhaps the concept is amusing to no one but me, but that was my initial intention behind keeping Clancy clueless. And you have to admit, sitting in the stands for an hour waiting for something to happen could become rather dull. Most of the action took place underwater. Thanks for the chocolate, Sylvana, and for reviewing! :-)

I just thought to look for this update ... oh god, what a chapter! I loved all the allusions to HBP. You've done a great job working your story into canon. And their parting was said without being melodramatic. Poor Clancy. But poor Snape, most of all. And I like how you have Dumbledore and Snape interact. Your Dumbledore is eccentric without being a pushover or silly. No forgetfulness potion will make me forget to read the next update! ;-D (Okay, that was lame,but I leave the witticisms to you.) All the best, Sophie

Author's Response: I've always enjoyed writing Snape/Dumbledore scenes, but I guess I won't be able to for much lomger, will I? :-D I'm glad you liked it, Sophie. Thanks for reviewing!

Spike 2005.08.24 - 03:24AM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
i was all excited to see that one of my favorite stories had been updated, little did i suspect the saddness within. i just wanted to give snape a big hug. he wouldn't have let me of course, but i would have wanted too. great great and wonderful, but it should have come with a warning: do not read if you'd rather not be depressed today :)

Author's Response: I'm sorry, Spike. I became very emotional while writing this, but I had no idea some readers would feel the same way. I did click "angst" under the genre choices, but I suppose they should add a "hanky alert" or something. But you'll just have to trust me to put things right -- just the way Dumbledore trusts...well, anyway, I'm hard at work on the next chapter. :-)

vanityfair 2005.08.23 - 11:45PM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
This isn't supposed to be a sad story, its supposed to funny and cheery. Although with you following the books I should have known it would get a little darker. At least we have the promise of knowing everything turns out well in the end. Another excellent chapter Vocalion!

Author's Response: Thanks, vanityfair! It won't get any darker than this, I promise. Some comedies have very dark moments ("Sullivan's Travels") and pathos ("City Lights"). However JKR decides Snape's fate at the end of the series, he will have his happy ending here.:-)

Grainne 2005.08.23 - 09:25PM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
To put it quite simply (for once): beautiful. Can I stop there? Nah. This has an excellent blend of plot, humour and heartache. If I had to pick a favorite scene, it would be the one with Dumbledore--as soon as I finished the chapter I had to go back and read it again. You are a master of subtle digs, allusions, and foreshadowings (not to mention anagrams). To quote Dumbledore, "That is the beauty of wordplay." Thank Merlin for a "player" like you!

Author's Response: I had to do a bit of redirection after the unfortunate death in HBP. Thank goodness I made Chronos a hedge, and not a wall or tunnel, or I might have been in deep trouble. Wordplay definitely comes in handy when one is forced to save face, in light of being such a lousy predictor of future canon. As always, I am thankful for your kind reviews. :-)

LariLee 2005.08.23 - 09:18PM 34: The Hour of Parting Signed
This is a wonderfully moving, touching chapter. I feel so sorry for them both. You've done such a wonderful job taking Canon and writing in a story that meshes perfectly. Wonderfully done!
~Lisa

Author's Response: Thanks, Lisa. Not my comfort zone, so I'm glad to be past it. :-)
