    Hehe, I think I would be Snape in this case, watching like a hawk. haha.

    Author's Response: Snape was definitely showing his paranoid side in this chapter. lol. I don't know why, but a paranoid Snape is fun to write.

    Hey,
    this story is quite unique and I've grown to like it after having some initial problems adapting to the idea of Harry suffering from such a muggle disease as cancer. But then, why shouldn't wizards be able to catch those in extraordinary circumstances. And Harrys' surely count as that. I like seeing Snape taking care of him and growing to like him. And I really hope that Harry'll get his magic back, it's really disconcerting to think about him without the ability to defend himself...

    Thanks for writing this!

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm happy to hear you've grown to like my story. I admit the idea is a bit radical, but then normal is boring. ;) Actually, I got the idea from reading several Harry has cancer fics and were disappointed and annoyed with them mostly because either the author didn't do their research or a simple potion was the cure. I wanted a more "realistic" approach. It also gave me an excuse to practice my writing technique on getting into a character's head psychologically. I've been toying with the idea for a novel that I've started that has some scenes that are rather difficult to write emotionally, and so this story has been my practice grounds so to speak. As for Harry's magic, he'll get it back eventually. It's touch and go at the moment, but he has Severus to protect him.

    Hey there! So I hope that this is okay, but we featured Alea Iacta Est this week in our HP fan fic review blog. My partner in crime and I both adore this story, even though it makes us want to cry and hug Harry (in a good way.) Your Snape is incredible. He is certainly a person that I would want to be around. I like that he is richly layered, and full of surprises!

    Anyhow, drop by the site if you have some time, and let me know what you think of the review!

    And thank you for sharing this wonderful story!

    Author's Response: Thank you so much. I've visited your site and you guy did a great job with the review. It's a great site. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but April is never a good month for me considering that's crunch time for classes AKA freak out time because there's a month left and I still haven't started gathering research for my research project. Furthermore, if you're looking to expand your blog, I'd be more than willing to take part in an e-mail interview. You can contact me via e-mail through this site or message me on livejournal (my penname is the same) for my e-mail address. I'm willing to discuss this story and writing in general. :)

    Poor Harry!! Will he ever get a break.. I could feel Severus' pain as he tried to comfort his child. I'm guessing the red eyes have something to do with the horcrux as it reacts to the chemo, as a tumor would maybe...

    Have I mentioned how much I love your story? Brilliant chapter!!!

    Another great chapter! Harry's reaction was totally expected and not so unlike Severus if you think about it. On top of everything else that's happen to him, finding out Sev was his father just sent Harry over the edge. I love that Snape stayed calm through it all. Very nicely done!
