Reviews for The Dark Gryffindor

    So Snape doesn't see himself in a paternal role - though I can see why Valerie might see it that way.

    It's interesting that he sees her as a symptom of what is going wrong in the wizarding world under Voldemort; is he going to try to 'turn' her and tell her the truth about himself...hmmm, there are still lots of ways this story could go.

    Psychologically a fascinating chapter - we get so much background to explain parts of Snape and Valerie's characters. I see what they are doing as really quite positive - Valerie had cut herself to feel control after her experience of childhood incest but now Snape is teaching her to take a more meaningful and productive control, by practising healing herself. Very interesting - Dark Arts used to neutralise a dark past.

    And you have Snape murdering his father! That's a step further than I went with having him imprisoned indefinitely. Is there any Oedipal element to Snape's relationship with his mother, I wonder?

    Really a very interesting chapter indeed - it throws open all kinds of future possibilities for them as a couple.

    He doesn't really want Valerie to be good, surely! He was deluding himself over Lily for all those years; I hope he wakes up to himself.

    I liked reading about them sharing a bit of intimacy and affection - and that cake sounds scrumptious. I might try and make it myself!

    How funny, PP, I thought that about the spider while I was reading it. It also was a neat way to bring home the reality of Snape's life - having to suspect everyone and everything and trust nobody. I liked the image of him as someone out of a swat team, pressing back against the wall with his wand drawn. Spinners End is well brought to life in this chapter.

    I love your description of the Spinners End environment; perfectly desolate and haunting. Not exactly the place for a party!

    I wonder how their visit will pan out now.

    Oh, cool, I would love a sleigh ride with Snape! I like the act he puts on for McGonagall's benefit there - I always feel a bit sorry for McGonagall. Why did Dumbledore keep her in the dark so much? It seems disrespectful. Ah well - I always think she must have had a really difficult professional relationship with Snape, and she certainly speaks her mind there.

    Now I can't wait for them to get to Spinner's End!

    I very much liked the headmaster's office as a location! I still love the Dumbledore portrait which becomes a very natural voyeuristic factor, that

    Oh gosh, poor Snape. I think that, in his situation, it would be very difficult for him not to be reminded of Lily at every turn. It must be a downer. I like the way Valerie offered him a little bit of catharsis; she seems to understand what he's going through as well.

    So off to Spinners End for Snape's version of a birthday party. I bet there won't be balloons.

    Yes, you can't imagine a Snape/Lily spanking scene, can you? At least, I can't. Not precious Saint Lily.

    Great Occlumency scene & spanking scene. Valerie is a lucky girl, LOL. I'm looking forward to your next twist in the tale!

    Aha, that's much clearer to me now; I'm glad Snape put Valerie straight about Voldemort and how she really wouldn't want to get involved.

    He's taking a big risk letting Valerie in on his secret loyalties, but I think she'll be able to help him, and he needs the help. And the sex, lol. Liked this chapter a lot; Snape was very ic, I thought.

    Seems like Snape and Valerie are incompatible after all - he had no idea of the extent of her physical masochism/submissiveness, even to the point where she's happy to be Voldemort's sex slave. He didn't see that one coming, did he? The mouse thing was curious, reminded me a bit of a scene from 'American Psycho', if you've read that.

    Poor portraits; they're obviously not voyeurs. I reckon Phineas Nigellus might have liked a little peek.

    Uh oh, I don't suppose Valerie bargained for Voldemort getting involved; this could lead to all kinds of sadistic complications. I like the way you keep Snape very distant and aloof, even when she is going all out to try and get him into bed.

    I like having one large project and a number of smaller ones on the go at any one time, so I tend not to compare this to the 'Midsummer Coup' - it's a different thing altogether, and enjoyable in its own right. I hope you manage to keep both going.

    Magical bondage is fun! It doesn't have to be deep. So Valerie can resist the Imperius, eh? Hmmm, interesting.
