Reviews for A Second Chance For Happiness

Really love your Minerva saving Severus! Thank you! I've always felt there's been some unrevealed deep bond, respect...between them. Eagerly reading on:)

Author's Response: I agree, and I think once Minerva realised everythng Severus went through, she would be racked with guilt and would desperately want to make amends.

Time for the Cavalry? Come on, Knight Severus, up onto your horse and bring a potion to St. Mungo's!

Author's Response: Soon, my dear, soon!

There is so much I like about this chapter, I don't know what to pick out. I really think you have the Lily stuff spot on - at least that is exactly my take on his feelings towards her. I absolutely agree that he did venerate her, rather than love her in a more normal healthy way. I really love this line - 'He’d held on to every smile, every kind act and every sweet recollection, and crystallized them into the pure white diamond of his guiding light' - really beautiful and apt imagery to describe the way he had her on a pedestal. I also feel that you have managed to convey his current feelings towards Lily very well, without going into too much exposition. I feel you have told us what we need to know about where he stands emotionally and we can now look forward to how he can develop his new-found freedom from Lily. I also have to agree with your point about him really being enslaved to three masters; what a good point, which I hadn't really thought about before - and so true of course.

Author's Response: Thank you Hexgirl for your wonderful and detailed reveiw! I'm thrilled you liked it, even though it was a fairly short chapter. I'm also thrilled you agree and "get" my Severus (I use the word my, as I think each of us sees Severus a little differently in terms of background, actions etc). In fact, that could be an interesting discussion for the topic board!

I like your analysis of his resolution of his feelings for Lily. If it hadn't been for Dumbledore manipulating those feelings for his own ends Severus woud have gotten over his iffatuation and looked back on it as first love, as puppy love that didn't work out a long long time before then.

Author's Response: Oops, double trouble :)

Author's Response: I still think it would have taken Severus a long time to get iver Lily, regardless of whether or not she died - I mean, they stopped talking in their fifth year when Severus would have been 16ish, and when he was 21 (when she died) he still loved her, and that was five years he had to get over it. But yes, add his guilt into the equation and Dumbledore's manipulation and the poor guy didn't stand a chance.

The excitement is building now! Next chapter quickly, please.

Author's Response: Haha, thank you Linda! My muse is a bit slow I'm afraid, but I hope my chapters are worth the wait.

LadySeverus 2010.07.28 - 11:12AM 8: Chapter 8 - Heartache At The Hospital Signed
Definitely not the best place for 'the big unload' from Ginny but totally understandable given the seriousness of the situation. I hope they can present enough of a united front to get Al through this though.

Author's Response: It's hard on them both and it's only going to get harder unfortunately. Thanks so much for your support, it means a lot.

I do feel sorry for Harry, she really dumped on him in a public place at a time when they should be comforting each other. Harry questioned his Gryffindor bravery about not confronting her with their problems before, but what about Ginny's Gryffindor bravery? She could have confronted him with her problems before everything came to a head and she exploded. What are they going to do about it now?

Author's Response: They are both to blame here. I think Ginny wanted to shield her children from witnessing them arguing, and they have had so little time together lately that the last thing she wanted to do was bring up their problems in the precious moments they did share. But yes, now the doo-doo has really hit the fan!

There are so many people one should feel sorry for here: little Al, since he is ill; Ginny, since she is so worried; and Harry, since he is having his head bashed in by his wife. But I would really like to hand Ginny a Beater's bat, hehe

Author's Response: I am sure Ginny is a force of nature once she gets going! You have to feel sorry for Harry in a way :)

one cannot edit the review here at occlumency when you have touched the submit-botton. I hope you understand my very clumsy review. Love the story

Author's Response: Thank you very much for your wonderful reviews, I am grateful you took the time to review twice! I hope you'll continue to enjoy it. Reviews like yours make writing worthwhile (especially as that was not an easy chapter to write for me).
