A Mother's Lullaby by Amarisa
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 64]
Summary: Ever wonder what happened the night Harry arrived on the Dursleys' front step and the days following? When Harry can't stop crying, how does a mother's lullaby help him through everything, even when he's older and remembering her words... both of the song and quite possibly the advice? A one-shot.
Life at number four, Privet Drive, was nearly perfect. It was quiet, peaceful, a place where not a blade of grass or leaf on a tree was out of place, and a place that housed a loving family of three.
I really liked this first line. I think that it was a good introduction, and it was a great way to show how ordinary and orderly the Dursleys’s lives were before Harry came. I especially liked that “…not a blade of grass of leaf on a tree was out of place” I thought that that was a really good way to say “everything was orderly and perfect”
The bassinette, it should be known, was already much too small for the new baby
I don’t know why, but I really liked this line. It symbolized that Harry was growing up and that since his parents died he grew too fast and now he had to be on his own.
To any on-looker, he was an angel. However, to the Dursleys, he remained a daily grievance.
I thought that that was a really good line. It kind of described Harry life in the wizarding world compared to the Muggle world. In the Muggle world, he was teased and hated while in the wizarding world he was loved and famous.
Harry, being the smart baby he was, noticed this and began yearning for attention, even going as far as attempting to play with some of Dudley’s toys he never seemed to touch anymore. That would result in Dudley crying, Petunia yanking the toy away from Harry, a good spanking following, and Harry would cry and whimper off in his own little corner with his broken hand-me-down toys and spiders as company.
Long excerpt :) I really liked this part because it made Harry as a baby really realistic. He’s always been neglected, and I always wondered how he handled it. I thought that him being a baby and everything that he would have a reaction like that. It was really good that you added that in there to show how hard it must have been for him as a child. Also, it broke my heart when he tried to play with Dudley’s toys, but they wouldn’t let him. That just made me very sad…
As time passed, the smile on little Harry’s face began to fade
That was a really sad, but good, line. It was subtle, but it made the point clearly and dramatically. It was just a really good memorable transition.
In addition to all of that, I really liked how you made Harry’s character. The way you wrote him as a baby really represented him as a child/teenager. When he was 11-14, he bottles everything up and managed to keep smiling, no matter what happened. Then once he turned 15, he finally burst. He was yelling and was really frustrated. He finally let it all out, which was similar to when Harry couldn’t stop crying. It was really great how those two were kind of similar.
Also, I really liked that ending. It was nice how you showed that he remembered it as a teenager. I also really liked how Harry was talking about how he heard it in the wind sometimes. It was just a nice reminder that people never truly leave us forever. It was just really….nice. Overall, I really liked the story. It never got boring, and it was very realistic. I think that it was a really great. 10/10
