Reviews for The Sun is Often Out
how much i enjoy your dialogue between them! lovely update. thanks and mucho smoochies
Yes, that's exactly how I picture Severus also. Potentially dangerous, extremely powerful with a good heart hidden behind strong protective walls. I do love how the friendship between them is building. Excellent chapter, I love it.
I'm trying to figure out just how delusional and obvious Hermione is being in her crush. It is a fun read, though.
He's relaxing with her now. That's nice. :)
ah ha! she's worming her way without either of them knowing! great update. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Exactly lol! Thanks; next update will be soon : )
very interesting situation. thanks for a great update and mucho smoochies
Wow....I just started reading this and wow. That is about all I have to say. Great job!
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you very much, indeed : )
An intriguing story. It has so many elements that are perfectly balanced to provide a delightful read. I particurarly enjoy the interactions between Hermione and the rest of the staff. Everyone who has had the opportunity to enteract with an adult they once knew as a child has the same problem of differeing perspectives. You caught the flavor of this very well. I enjoy reading more and more of this.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you, I really wanted to get across how Hermione's perspective begins to change. Hope you enjoy the next part : )
I'm really enjoying this story. While it has been done before, I don't think it has been done as well. You have connected the characters so subtlety and yet strongly on an emotional level. Her most recent encounter with Snape in the darkened staff room was very telling. Snape has up to this point seemed too peaceful to be in character. It was a nice build up to this action. Well done.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter, and we'll be seeing a bit more of this side of Snape.
I have to agree with the other reviewer who remarked upon your attention to detail. You've written a rich story without stooping to the cliches that riddle many stories. I like this very much, though it will be interesting to see how you manage to warm Snape up without going from one extreme to another. Thanks for writing :)
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
I have tried to avoid cliches, because, while the premise of this story is not the most original, I wanted to make it somewhat original -- we'll see how that goes, though. Thank you for reading : )
I really am impressed by all the detail you have. The mental images are so easy to see.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
I'm glad you mentioned that because I had wondered if it was too detailed. Thank you for leaving a review.
Private Potions with Snape. That's a great opportunity to get to know him better. I like the way you don't burden the story down with unnecessary details, just what is needed to tell the tale. :)
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Yep, private potions! Thank you for reading : )
I'm enjoying your story so far, thanks! I appreciate you letting her end things with Ron without anyone behaving badly... he's not a bad guy, just... such a BOY. I hope this story progresses quickly, so we can find out what happens next.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
I think you're right about Ron, definitely. This story is only 9 chapters long, so it won't be going on and on : )
Oh dear, what an ominous sight, a brooding Severus Snape! I know that sounds sarcastic, but it was not meant to. He brooded before the fall of Voldemort for good reason. It's just that no one was aware of his reason at the time.Now we must wonder again, what could be so bad as to upset him so...Update soon, please :)
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Indeed, what has upset him? Well, the next chapter is in the queue : )
Now the student perspective glasses have been removed, she will no doubt learn a lot more about all of the staff. Nice start! :)
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
You are quite right! Glad you like it : )
Thank you very much for what looks like the beginning of a very interesting story.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you for reading and reviewing!
I really liked this. I do hope you continue it. It was very good.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
I will be continuing it -- in fact, it is complete. Next chapter will be up soon. Thank you for reading!
Well written and engaging. Very believeable. I look forward to more.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you -- more will be posted soon.
This is quite a story. I do like it and I'm glad Ron was adult about it all.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you -- glad you like it. Ron is not my favourite character, but I didn't want to bash him too much : )
Very nice opening chapter. I like how you've quickly integrated Hermione into Hogwarts life and shown us how intrigued she is by her new boss. I can't wait to see what comes next.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Glad you enjoyed reading it -- the next chapter is in the queue.
Very nice start to what sound like a very intriging story. I like how you made Ron sound like a reasonable, mature male instead of a clueless baffoon. Also, your writing of Severus has him in character but also shows the subtle changes that would probably occur in his personality in post-war culture - he is no longer a spy and can be himself. Looking forward to how you'll be 'writing' him in this story. Hermione, likewise, is sounding and acting more like a professor and less like an impulsive teen. Looking forward to your next chapter.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
I am guilty of reading fics where there's a bit of Ron-bashing going on, but for the purpose of this story I thought I'd go easy on him. As for Snape, I'm glad you think that despite subtle changes, he is still in character because that's one of my main concerns. However, I do think that had he survived, he might have let himself unwind a little. Thank you for reviewing : )
what a delightful start. i look forward to further developements. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you! Next part should be up soon.
I have found myself rather intrigued as well as engrossed with the story. If there is a chance for additional chapters in the future, then please do continue.
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you for reading--there will be a new chapter soon.
Really nice beginning, I look forward to learning how Hermione's teaching experience progresses. As well as her relationship with a certain headmaster. :)
Response from Hannah_1888 (Author of The Sun is Often Out)
Thank you -- next part will be up soon : )
Oh, goody, and this is a story I could read over and over again. Happily added to my favourites. :)
