Chapter: Perceptions Altered | Story: Minutes Of A War

Omigosh, I love Dudley's point of view. Apparently, your story is one of the few to send shivers of excitement down my spine.

Hello :)

Haha, contrary to what I first thought, Dudley's POV turned out one of my favourites. Thanks for your feedback, and I hope you'll be back!

Cheers, Leo

Hello!

Another great addition to this wonderful story. So wonderful that I am right now adding it to my favorite in order to make sure I won't miss the next chapters! 
In answer to your end-note, I think I told you in my last review but yes, I definitly want more Dudley and, so far, I think you are doing a great job showing how his life is going though this period. 

I really loved this chapter and appreciated that Tonks was not all too receptive to Lupin. Of course she'd be mad and would not welcome him back with open arms as if he hadn't abandonned her! 

As for the retelling of the Ministry infiltration, it was brilliant! I particularily liked when Arthur told Molly about it, saying how he thinks he talked to the two boys and making things work perfectly with canon. I really enjoyed this part, although I think I imagine Arthur and Molly (but mostly Arthur) being a bit more proud. You know, him telling the story but all the while being a bit impossible to hide the pride he must have felt, knowing that his youngest son and his friends were still alive, had actually rescued some innocent people and had managed to run free. No matter how scared he must be for his family, there is no way a father cannot be proud of his son for pulling a stunt like that. 

I spotted two little things in this chapter :

"...He was supposed to be in Azkaban, and seeing him in place like this really hit home."; should it be '...in A place like this...'?

"...and wished she didn’t know to place the feelings she saw – worry and horror."; that sentence sounds a bit strange to be (didn't know to place?)

Overall, it was a great chapter, I enjoyed it a lot and definitly want to read more! Great work!

Hehe, so far, Dudley's POV seems to be popluar - who would have thought? To be honest, I didn't expect to have that much fun exploring his side of things. 

And Tonks has always been a favourite of mine; I enjoy having her come to life. Now that you mention it, Arthur would definitely be a bit proud; maybe I can work it in should I go over the chapter again.

Again, thanks so much for the feedback :D

I ENJOYED YOUR STORY CAN YOU PLEASE PUT MORE OF DUDLEY IN IT I REALLY WANT TO FIND OUT IF REALLY IS NICE PLEASE FINISH IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THANKS

Author Response

Hey, thanks so much for the review! Oh, and there will be updates, as soon as the queue and real life permits ;)

OKAY ACTUALLY NO THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE CHAPTER.
I really did like the Dudley bit actually, it was cute. You should write more of that.
I also liked the Remus part. It was good to see him dwelling on his feelings. I liked that you made him talk to himself and I liked how you made him go through all of the marauders and think about why he couldn't talk to them, that was pretty emotional.
However my favourite part of the chapter was Ginny's bit, because your characterisations of Luna, Ginny and Neville (and his grandmother) were just spot on. Especially Neville. Strong but silent is a brilliant way to characterise him so yeah ^^
Loved this story, thank you for writing it so I could read it :3 Merry christmas!! X

Really? The bit with Remus was one of the first scenes I had in mind, even before I wrote about the break-up. Nice to hear it worked!
And as for Dudley, like Percy, he's one of the characters that only really grew on me when I wrote this. And there's defintely more of him.
I had trouble with Ginny's point of view, which took so long to write. Apparently, it was worth it ;)
Thanks for your reviews, makes me happy to hear someone actually likes what I come up with :D

I loved this! Loved the Lupin bit and LOVED the Dudley bit! It was so good! I love how you get into character's heads, and how each is distinctly different, Dudley is definitely Dudley and Lupin is definitely Lupin, characterisation is spot on - I love it! All I can say is I am so glad I found this story and I can't wait to read more! It is just brilliant! Please update as soon as you can, this story is one of the best!

Ps. your banner is AWESOME! :)

Hello again!
I really appreciate your comment about how my characters are clearly distinguishable, even though there are so many POV changes. I was debating to choose just one of them as the 'narrator', but it seems to work. Yay!
I'm glad you found this too ;) Love the reviews!
Next chapter has been sitting in the queue for some days, should be validated soon. More updates to come in the new year, hopefully I'll hear from you again.
Merry Christmas!

Author Response

Woah, you really made my day with this :D Thanks for taking the time to read and review. The Dudley bit came to me when I re-read DH, and the fact that the goodbye at Privet Drive wasn't in the movie.
A Merry Christmas to you too!
