    Thank goodness for Draco. See if he hadn't had something to be confiscated then Severus wouldn't have a hole in his pocket and he wouldn't have lost his wand and Hagrid never would have found him in time. So see? it's ALL thanks to Draco! xD

    Author's Response: Yeah, who knew Draco's misbehaviour would save the day! Wow ... I actually didn't really look at it like that. Draco is totally awesome! Thanks for the review!

    Oh this one is hard to review! On the one hand I'm sad because it feels that Severus is starting to accelerate down the slippery slope to the end and there's no stopping him, but then there are all the good things too - wise Hagrid, Munk with his family and his smirk, all the people who care and nice details in the writing.

    Author's Response: Yes, it does fell a little bleak, doesn't it? I'm glad you enjoyed the good things though, and the detail and such. Thanks so much for reviewing rosina, even if it was difficult. I always appreciate hearing how the piece makes the reader feel. :)

    I really enjoyed the scene with Hagrid. I can see him being friends with Severus; he's not the type to judge people. And the line about life experience is very true.

    Draco and Harry must be scared, after this first reminder of the reality of what is coming. I really liked how you described that, and also Severus' thoughts on his situation.

    Still, I'm not giving up on my theory :)! Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the scene with Hagrid, as I really enjoyed writing it. Yes, while Severus has had the constant reminders, Draco and Harry have not seen him faint again. Glad to see you're still optimistic. Well, thank you for the review Sita! It was nice to hear from you.

    Oh man...this story has haunted me since last night so badly that I hardly slept...I really couldn't get the thought of Snape having such a disease out of mind...but I do have to ask, why doesn't he look for a cure himself? He is a potions master after all AND If Harry is his son, that would mean that Harry has the possibility of getting it too, wouldn't that give him the strength to find a cure for his son?

    Sigh...really hope our Professor Snape gets a happy ending...sniff...and I want him to date Laura! I hate it when a favorite dies...

    Hugs and Love,
    Vanime

    Author's Response:

    Wow, glad you're enjoying it. First off, because Harry is his adopted son (he adopted Harry in the first story in this series, if you read it) Harry cannot get L.S., as it is passed through genetics and Harry has no blood connection to Snape. Secondly, there are a number of reasons for why Severus is not working on developing his own cure. He doesn't understand how Lethifold Syndrome works, and even the healers have limited knowledge of that, as the disease is realatively new. I know I haven't explained any of this, but it wasn't a priority of mine for Snape to try to cure himself, because in my mind he sort of understands that while he is a great potions master, this is out of his hands. On top of that, the healers - as mentioned in this chapter - have sent him a number of potions, and he was not sure of how he could have improved them or why they did not work. It's all sort of complicated, and quite a good question on your part. In the drawing board stage I did have a little bit of him trying to create a cure, but I had decided it was too dangerous for him to keep testing potions and he would not have the resources to properly understand how the disease was creating the effects inside him. Anyways, I really hope that explanation helps some, and I'm sorry if I never did mention any of this; like I said, I was focusing on other themes and such in the story! Thank you so much for the review Vanime, and the wonderful question that got my mind thinking! Cheers, Em.
