Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
I have to say, I did so love those last two parts of this chapter; the sleepy conversation and Sev's pondering, as much as angst is usually what keeps a fic going it's these moments that I read for, so thanks!!! *more cookies and muffins ^-^* Hopefully your muse will come out of hiding again soon and the writing will flow again (perhaps yours is hiding with mine TT) Good luck with everything, hope life's being nice(r) ^^ *picks up homemade lollypop and leaves a cookie* thanks! Author's Response: Yay, I loved the last two parts, too. Writing the angst is fun, but the other stuff helps to develop a character and gives me a break from the angst. I can't write pure angst all the time without burning out on it. ;) Since you forgot to sign in when you reviewed on FF, I'll just reply here. *Dodges pillows and missiles* I'm on the fence as to whether Dumbledore just doesn't care or if he's simply overlooking the gravity of the situation. For the meeting with him, for once I don't think it promises to be too angsty. Sev deserves a bit of a break after the next chapter. Things are starting to depress Harry. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts at Sirius' memorial. I have some idea, but he hasn't told me everything yet. Thanks! Oh, and yes, Adrian and Tristan decided to be a bit more cooperative. *Picks up cookie*
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I'm not really bashing Dumbledore to bash him, but to exploit his flaws that we were blinded to from reading the books exclusively from Harry's POV. He'll have some apologizing to do if he wishes to earn Sev and Harry's forgiveness.
anyways, hope you update soon! keep up the amazing work. Author's Response: lol. I think a lot of people wanted Sev to hex Dumbledore but he's a lot more subtle than that. Plus, this way he can't really be blamed for anything when he could've been blamed if he would've just started hexing Dumbledore. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks, and I'm happy to hear you paid attention to the details. Details are what make a story and I try to include ones that'll help the story rather than hinder it.
Author's Response: I'm sure Sev wanted to say it out loud, but his concern for Harry held him back. He knew that Harry deserved to know first. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Harry's reaction is in the next chapter that I posted late last night.
I couldn't wait to see what would happen between Severus and Dumbledore, and you provided a superb chapter. I was waiting for Severus to get back to Harry so he could tell him that he is Harry's father, but you ended it too soon. Noo!! ;-} I guess that means that I'll just have that much more to look forward to in the next chapter. ;-} I think that Sev was very wise in saying that Minerva was to included in the meeting with Dumbledore. I have no doubt that Dumbles is not going to go down or let go of his control of Harry without a fight. I love the story, and can't wait for the next chapter. ;-} Leilia Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the showdown between Sev and Dumbledore. You weren't the only one waiting for Sev to return and tell Harry, but it deserved its own chapter and I didn't want the scene rushed at the end of a chapter. Sev was very wise to include Minerva in the inevitable meeting. It's always good to have someone to watch your back, plus it does concern Minerva as well.
I liked this chapter, especially the part, in the Order meeting, where Dumbledore and Snape try to manage the other using Legilimency and Occlumency... Looking forward to the next chapter. Author's Response: It wouldn't be a very good battle between the two if they didn't employ all their talents. Plus, Sev was trying to keep Harry's parentage under wraps to everyone else since he hadn't told Harry yet. Thanks!
Yay! You updated! When I saw it I literally started cheering and my mom had to ask me what I was doing. lol But this was a wonderful chappie! ^_^ Go Severus, go! You tell that rotter who's who (literally). I was hoping he'd just hex ol' Dumbles, but that wouldn't have looked very good in front of everyone. But at least Minerva stood up to help Snape a few times. And Moody was all up in Albus's face there, being all suspicious and all. I LOVE that Severus left the place all crazy. I always love imagining Snape walking out all dramatically. (probably why I do it a lot in my stories. lol) But omg! I wanted Severus to tell Harry they were father and son SO bad in this! I was just waiting for it. My rational side tells me that it really couldn't have happened just quite yet as you set up all these lovely circumstances, but my insane side just keeps screaming about how I want to know what happens next. (Don't you hate that?) But if I had to guess, I'd think Harry would freak a bit, try not to believe it, then maybe accept it since Sev's gunna still look after him and he'll see just how great Snape really is and had been and realize that the PM was so good to him even when he didn't know Harry was his son. I HOPE HARRY ACCEPTS SNAPE!! That would be major sad if he didn't...but it would make for some lovely drama and then Harry could always accept Sev later...but I'm just thinking too much now. Wonderful chappie Ella! I devoured this the moment I saw it was updated, and it was great. ^_^ I can't wait for the next chapter!! And thanks for the lollipop! How'd you know I like those? :D Author's Response: LOL. That's so funny that you literally started cheering to the point that your mom had to ask what you were doing. Sev is more subtle than to just walk in and hex Dumbledore. He'd rather have a dramatic exit than entrance. ;) I know you were waiting for it, but it really deserved its own chapter. You didn't have to wait too long either. I'm curious to see what you think. Everyone likes lollipops. Well, almost everyone, so it was a good guess. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, Molly will be on Harry's side. She's always been more concerned for her children than the overall war effort, which brings some balance to canon. I'm sure Dumbledore didn't get a respite once Molly returned. Perhaps at one point we'll hear about what happened. If anyone could reduce Dumbledore to take a scolding like a child, it would be her. |
