Please comment. HBP seems so surreal--it reads like a lot of mediocre fanfictions rolled into one, lol.

If chapter four was the present, then Snape telling the story about the little prince in chapters two and three would be the past. It just seemed to throw me off a bit. Once getting into chapter five though, it fit again.

lilian_cho wrote: Yeah, chapter four has a different timeline...1999, Snape's reminiscence of Harry. So will chapter 16 and 27. I'm just following the Little Prince, which jumps around with its perspective and time frame many times.

Here's more explanation on chapter four.

Does it help if I make the font of chapter 4, 16 and 27 a different color?

So, does the change in font color help? Or should I alter the font type, font size? Thanks :-)

Thanks to why_me_why_not, I finally can formulate what bothers me so much about this chapter: It parallels The Little Prince but does not further the plot of IMR4MR except to show where the relationship of Harry and Snape is going. Too many questions and not enough answers...

Here's the published chapter six, keeping in mind why_me_why_not’s beta-ing comments and suggestions.

Harry-Snape dynamics: Is it too soon for Harry to declare that he likes Snape?
Is it OoC of Snape to "forgive" Harry's earlier hostility? Is bearing grudges more of a Gryffindor trait or a Slytherin trait?

What bothers your about this chapter? What questions pop up in your mind when reading this?
Ask me anything you're unclear about re: the AU-ness of this fic. Thank you.

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve revamped chapter four more than any other chapters.

Most. Revamped. Chapter. Ever. ~_~

Hiya again.

Here's the revised chapter four, keeping in mind rea_saint and nazgul_lady’s beta-ing comments and suggestions. (I've rewritten Snape's description of Tonks)

Hi all :-)

Welcome, nazgul_lady!

Mwuahahahaha…new user icon *g*
Snow White…snow drop…just can’t resist.

Here's the published “Un Chapeau Blanc,” keeping in mind nazgul_lady’s beta-ing comments and suggestions.
(BTW, I’ve changed one sentence in Chapter three: “So you,” I enunciated slowly, “came from another planet?”)

I just realized that there's no canon information re: Lucius' eye color (or is there?)

Some fanfics have Lucius and Draco look exactly alike except for the hair length. This one fanfic, however, gives Lucius blue eyes.

So...what do you think?
Does Lucius have grey eyes (like Draco) or blue (like Karma)?

While we're at it, is there any canon information re: Narcissa's eye color?


P.S. I guess it makes sense that canon does not specify Lucius' and Narcissa's eye color, since Harry does not look at them that closely.

Canon specifies Draco's eye color because Rowling is a closeted H/D slasher because Draco has numerous showdowns with Harry.

ROTFL. Ron's eye color is not even specified in canon! Mwahahaaha...I guess that shot down Harry/Ron. Yay for Canon H/D! Harry must be blind or something for noticing even Ginny's eye color but not Ron's. *g*

ETA 12/22/06: There is canon info for Lucius' eye color! (And probably Narcissa's and Ron's too. But I don't ship Harry/Ron, so who cares :-P)
The man who followed could only be Draco's father. He had the same pale, pointed face and identical cold, gray eyes.
PoA, the scene at Borgin and Burkes.

Because this is too funny to not be shared.


He looked at it carefully, then he said:
"No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another."
So I made another drawing.

Petit Prince: *goggles* "Oo...kayyy..."

Hi all :-)

Here's the “published” Chapter three, keeping in mind trixiegogobunny, tabigarasu and rea_saint’s beta-ing comments and suggestions.
(BTW, I’ve changed one sentence in Chapter two: The headmaster had appointed Hogwarts Potions Master, instead of the Deputy Headmistress, to meet a high-ranking French wizard to discuss possible ties between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons.)

Have you called/hugged your mother today? :-)

The next update after chapter three will be the promised back-story on Mrs. Snape's descent into madness (for sinick). Chapter four will be posted the week after the back-story.

I must be the only daughter in the universe who celebrates Mother’s Day by writing a story of a mother’s descent into madness.

Anyway…I’ve only written the dedication and outline so far…

Did I get the French right? I want “A White Hat” as title, so… "Un Chapeau Blanc"? Or is it “Un Blanc Chapeau”? Thanks :-)

Any comments and/or questions?

P.S. Just in case some of you are wondering, my mom's v. much alive--albeit a continent away. I won't be surprised if she outlives me, really, since she's _way_ more athletic and healthy than I am.
