Reviews for Snow in the Moonlight |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() Another good story! Severus showed a lot of restraint this year, between not killing or hexing Vernon, to not killing or hexing Sirius. He even didn't out Lupin. I do find it interesting that I think every fanfic that I have read in which pettigrew does not escape it has been directly due to Snape stopping him. On to year 4! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I expect most of the menstruating people reading this now wish that they had magic period underwear. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Another great story! Sirius will not have been happy that Rachel wanted to stay with Severus rather than live with him. It will be interesting to see future interactions between the two. Dumbledore can’t have been happy with Lupin’s omissions - that may be why he didn’t push him to stay on. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Remus didn’t collude with Sirius, but nor did he give Dumbledore information that was critical, such as that Sirius was an animagus and that he knew secret ways into the castle. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I like how you have Lupin voluntarily tell Rachel about James and Severus. |
![]() ![]() ![]() A good explanation as to why the dementors were on the train - I’d never thought of that issue before. |
![]() ![]() Great fic! Excited for year 4! :D |
![]() ![]() ![]() It’s so refreshing for a fanfiction to represent therapy and mental help in a positive way. I have read so many that denounce any type of mental help, and the therapy is done very well in this story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Love this novel too, especially your portrayal of Sirius. Also, love, love, LOVE the idea of Diana Wynne Jones as a Hufflepuff! If you ever get a chance, I'd love an opportunity to see Theo interacting with his father in private. Maybe a bonus scene sometime? |
![]() ![]() ![]() getting dementored and steamrolled by hippogriff. such a bad luck combo for rachel. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Rachel's 3rd year, I just finished reading it. I read it this year too. As I read each chapter I love this story more! Your way of writing is magnificent, practically every chapter I can fully imagine in my head. The feelings and emotions that each chapter evokes makes me move and I can empathize with the situations that you present to us. Rachel's life is so human, sincere and authentic, seeing her flourish over her years at Hogwarts and the support of her loved ones is wonderful. Seeing Rachel entering a stage of adolescence, seeing her healing her soul, having concerns of her age, being able to feel comfortable and curious about the world around her, feeling loved, having people who love, adore and protect her. To see Rachel having moments of immense happiness, to be able to see Rachel having happy and beautiful memories. All this and much more, it is so moving. Severus, I love him! Seeing him take over as Rachel's dad in such a natural way is beautiful! I'll start rereading the 4th chapter! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I really like how helpful Torey is to both Rachel and Severus. She's a good therapist. I like Neville's Patronus. I wish that Severus could do something to help Theo with his living situation. He should be free to be who he really is around his father but given that his dad is a completely evil jerk, he can't even be honest with him about who his true friends are. Surely there's something that Severus can do. I'm relieved that their exams are finally over. Now they can finally relax. It makes me happy to know that Remus is going to begin to help Sirius overcome the damage that the dementors have done. Brilliant conclusion to their third year. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm glad that she's safe, that Sirius will receive a trial and that they're considering becoming animargi. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Lovely chapter. I really like how you're handling the Sirius Black situation. He just might get his name cleared after all. I'm also relieved that Rachel's feeling well enough to cast her Patronus. I initally worried that the shock of the situation would cause her to suffer a temporary relapse of her mutism, but was relieved that she did not. I hope that Rachel can form a bond with Remus and Sirius too. I know that Severus is her guardian and he's doing a great job, but it'd be better if Rachel had more adults in her corner. I guess I'll have to read on and find out how you write the rest of Rachel's story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Yay, she mastered the Patronus Charm! Whilst it's difficult sometimes to read Rachel's therapy sessions, I'm glad that she's making progress with therapy and hope that she can begin processing the trauma now that she's in a safe environment. |
