Oh, wow, very cool! ...And oddly similar to an idea that I had for a book cover... assuming I ever get around to writing the book. (I'm going to become independently wealthy, retire early, and write. I swear...) I like the sense here that Harry and Draco are both caught up in something much larger than themselves, and their choices are not entirely their own. And yes, although Snape himself is not the only influence, he certainly pulls more strings than either Harry or Draco is aware. Nice.
Thanks Rowan! I like to play around with the "what ifs" of the Harry and Snape dynamic...like how would things be different if harry hadn't asked not to be put in Slytherin? I think Harry's actions are affected a lot more than he'd like to think by Snape. Nearly every one of his adventures is prefaced by someone asking "how will we get it past Snape?" or "what if Snape catches us?" or "what if Snape rats us out of Voldie"
Dumbledore was obviously Harry's main (direct) influence, but so much of what he does, or doesn't do is contingent on Snape that it isn't even funny.
Likewise, Draco's main influence is obviously his father, but (especially in HBP) Snape plays a huge role in his life, and I have to wonder how well the whole rivalry between would have worked out if Severus hadn't been tolerant of it, and encouraged it, so he affects how they act with each other on a huge scale too. :)
I *adore* the Harry/Draco/Snape dynamic sooo much. *huggles it*
WOW! I'm rather tongue tied trying to find the words to sum it up. Brilliant work, the attention to detail is excellent without losing overall perspective of the entire work. I'm really impressed.
Thanks! It's a bit lighter than I intended (need to remember to adjust my monitor at home ><) so Snape doesn't quite blend into the bg as much as I wanted him too - I'll have to fix that tonight!) I'm glad it's still working for you! :D
I want Harry's jacket! LOL I tend to draw characters in clothing I'd wear. ^^;; I wouldn't mind Draco's tunic thing either, though I'd have no where to wear it out to! XD
OMG!!!! I'm in awe... really, just... WOW!!!! I love the dynamic here and the motion with the spells and gah, they're all gorgeous! This is just soooo beautiful, I have no words, really! I gah!! I think I'm going to go and find a coherent thought then thank you properly.
I love you too! :D I'm so happy you like it. Happy belated birthday! *L* I'll try to offer earlier next year so I can get the next one to you on time. ;)
