Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
And poor Severus too. I love your story and this chapter was great I like how you don't have Harry just suddenly forgiving Severus. Thats not to say I don't want him to forgive Severus, but I like how its happening slowly. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story! Author's Response: Thanks! It would be completely unrealistic if Harry just suddenly forgave Severus. He has every right to be angry. Sev's choice just reinforced Harry's beliefs that adults can't be trusted or relied upon. Sev will have to be consistent and work to get Harry to trust him again and realize that he really wants to be a father to Harry in every way.
As Always, I look forward to your next update. V. Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that you're "feeling" Harry's and Severus' emotions. This chapter was really focused on that so we could see how Sev's revelation to Harry affected them both, a baseline if you will so we can see where they're starting at and where they need to go to fully accept each other as father and son.
I hope that Harry comes around and realises how much Snape cares about him and really didn't want to give him up as a baby. I'm glad though that Snape has stuck around for Harry. One question: Does Snape know how the Dursleys treated him--I can't remember. Oh, and how abusive were the Dursleys too Harry. Harry was thinking that he was used to pain, so they must have hit him, right? Or at least Dudley did. I hope that Snape kicks their asses!! I can't wait till your next update! Author's Response: Thanks, Pandora! I've been in a bit of a writing rut lately, so I'm probably just as happy that I updated that you were! Through the next bit of the story, we'll see Severus and Harry working to accept their new familial relationship, and we'll see how it changes both of them. To answer your question, Severus knows a bit of the Dursleys treated Harry, but not all. He caught a few glimpses in their Occlumency lessons, and he wants to know the entire truth, but also knows that it isn't the time to push Harry into talking yet. I'm still on the fence to if the Dursleys physically abused Harry or if it was all emotional abuse and neglect. Harry hasn't revealed it even to me yet, so we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.
Great chapter! Author's Response: Harry's problems always seem to somehow involve Voldemort, don't they? Too bad Sev's wishes for Dumbledore and Voldemort won't come true. It would certainly help Harry out. We'll see how Voldemort's interference may change Harry's treatments in the next chapter. Harry going to Severus was the first time to fixing their relationship, so hopefully Harry will come to accept Severus soon. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks! Things will start looking up for them soon.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad to hear you picked up on Harry's confusion. His subconscious hasn't stopped depending on Severus, but obviously Harry is a little mad at him at the moment. I think he'll start to slowly trust Severus again soon. Going to Severus when he was in pain, no matter how desperate he was, was the first step to that.
Author's Response: *Hands you a bouquet of daisies with a bunch of sunshine* Hold on a bit longer. Things are going to get better soon, but I needed to create a situation for Harry to reach out towards Severus to function as a new start to their relationship, where Harry will learn to accept Severus as his father. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks! I wanted Harry's pain to reach the level that he sought Severus out instead of Severus going to him. Harry needed to give a little, and hopefully his desperation will start to pave the way for their new relationship once Harry realizes that going to Severus actually helped. |
