Reviews for Killing Time

What an incredible (and hot) experience to see this from Snape's point of view!

Author's Response: Thank you! And thanks for commenting on the PoV. When I realized that I had set out to right first time sex from the PoV of a nearly forty year old man, I was... daunted, to say the least. So I'm very glad that it worked for you!

Severus and Hermione's gifts to each other may have slightly missed the mark, but Severus' unintentional gif to Argus was perfect: personal, something into which Severus will put time and effort; and it will make Argus' life better! (Poor Argus - and Tom Riddle came to mind as a reason for Peeves' years of quiet - i could see Tom testing his powers by trying to control Peeves . . . maybe Voldemort had some good points after all.)

When reading this chapter, I kept hearing tne song "The Island of Misfit Toys" in my head (from the old "Rudolph" television show). Everyone in the house seems a misfit - at least with each other - and yet they are making the best Christmas celebration that they can and being (mostly) tolerant of each other. It's both sweet and sad - and probably closer to the true meaning of Christmas than the "perfect," gift-laden, artfully-wrapped, deliciously-baked, family-homecoming holiday that most people aim for. And Harry as a Healer is a good call - it fits him.

Author's Response: I like that about Tom Riddle--and it would definitely match the years described! And yes, I absolutely see the house as the island of misfit toys. That's a lovely image. Thank you very much!

I can't wait for another chapter. Thanks so much for updating quickly!

Author's Response: Thank you! There's more to come quite soon. Probably tonight! :)

i wonder if Hermione gave Kreacher a Christmas present ?

Author's Response: Hmm. Probably. We saw how well he responded to gifts in DH. :)

Loved Kreacher at the table. "He could hardly hold Longbottom and stroke his hair until the crisis passed" is an image that will stay in my head all day, as well as Peeves snogging anyone. Merry Christmas and thank you.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked all the silliest parts. :) I'm usually writing the angst, not the humor.

:D Love their awkward presents for each other! Tooo cute. Interested in the chemistry between Harry and Draco (but ive been possibly reading too many slash fics there ;P). Have we heard from Ron or Ginny? They seem a bit non-entityish. But gorgeous, gorgeous - very real and believable. LIV

Author's Response: Hmmm. Perhaps I shall just say No Comment about Harry and Draco? :) You are right that Ron and Ginny are non-entities in this story. Honestly, it never occurred to me to include them, since it's a story about misfits and orphans, although I realize now that any lack of Ron in an HP story is a conspicuous lack. But thank you for reading! I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

Forgot to add: I'm hoping that one reason Hermione teared up at the awareness Severus had asked Harry his advice on a gift for Hermione was that she was touched he would ask Harry. (Meanwhile, here's another "10"!)

Author's Response: Oh, yes, that's exactly why. Thank you!

I just started reading this story and I really like it's very natural pace. The characterizations seem very possible given folks living in a world that seems to have shifted upside down. I especially love that you have Malfoy being training for the aurory and Harry studying to be a healer. I look forward to reading more of this story!

Author's Response: I'm so happy to hear that the pacing is working for you and that the characterizations seem possible. Those were two of the things I fretted over most as I wrote it. Thank you very much!!
