Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
I know I should get back to work but I can't seem to stop reading! Excellent chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Paganaidd. I know you're in the medical field so that makes your comment mean so much more. I'm glad my research has paid off. :)
Very good story, btw. Keep it up! Author's Response: Dumbledore is manipulative. We didn't really see it until Harry did because the POV is always Harry's. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks! It's not totally a mentor story though...
Poor Harry, what awful treatments and tests to have to endure... Author's Response: You're going to be annoyed with Dumbledore for a while. He likes to meddle in things he shouldn't, but I think eventually he'll come around. *smiles slyly* ;) Poor Harry, indeed. I absolutely hate needles, and I would've totally freaked out way more than Harry. I almost passed out once because I was so freaked because the doctor needed to take like two small vials of blood for some tests.
And yay for Snapers being supportive! He's been so good, and poor Harry needs someone like that right now. They're both being pushed to their limits. How sad!! The whole procedure made me squirm. It actally made my back hurt. *shivers* I can't imagine that kind of pain. I just feel so bad for Harry! Poor kid! Question: how do you know so much about this? I hope no one in your family had to go through this! Or did you research it? Well, I'm off to my useless freshman class that I despise so much, but I'll read on later. You deserve a big hug! :) He couldn't threaten to hex cancer into oblivion or chop into potions ingredients. Author's Response: Dumbledore is being horrible. I always thought he wasn't as good as we saw in the books, but we must remember we always saw him from Harry's biased point of view. Opening up the point of view, allows us to see other sides of characters, and I think we would've seen Dumbledore's manipulations if Rowling had switched her POVs. *Hands Ivy a whole box of Kleenex* You'll need to keep them handy. Sev is being great to Harry. He just can't be an evil git to a sick child. Plus, it helps that Harry isn't up to fighting. In addition, you should know or will learn in your psychology class that often neglected children will latch on to the first adult that shows they care, and we're seeing that in Harry. The procedure was nasty. I hate needles, and I would so freak out if I needed a bone marrow biopsy. I almost passed out the one and only time I had to get blood drawn when I was 17 because I was so freaked about it. My veins are small so when the nurse said that I totally freaked thinking it was going to be hard for her to find one, and it just meant she got to use a smaller needle. Whew. She was really good, and I barely felt it. Thankfully. *squirms* My needle fear is the main reason why I haven't donated blood. I've heard so many horror stories and seen the bruises left on people's arms from the nurses/whoever they are that work the blood drives. It's all research. After being in college for so long, I'm really good at researching. Yay, for line favoritisms. I love hearing what lines and parts people like. *receives hug* I needed one after a really, really long day at work. I was supposed to get off at quarter to five and didn't get off til quarter after seven. *sighs* Now I need to go start working on my chapter some more. PS: I can't believe you stopped at that chapter. That's like torture. lol.
Author's Response: I don't know what he signed :P. I guess you'll have to wait and see... |
