    The subtext in the conversation between Albus and Severus is delightful. You can feel the tension in the air.

    Are Thalium and Prussian blue real chemical substances? You did a fantastic job with the symptoms, the gfalling hair, the stomach aches and finally the vomiting. Very realistic. There's just one thing I son't get. How come Severus isn't as ill as Harry? Weren't they affected by the same potion?

    Oh, this is getting intense! Severus is planning to get help from the dark side. That can't end well! Severus words to Harry are immensely touching. He is willing to do anything to save his son!

    Author's Response: Yes, Thallium is an element on the periodic table and Prussian Blue is the antidote.  Everything about the poisoning, down to the symtoms and the words they use about it, is entirely accurate.  (Except, perhaps, that it screws up a wizard's magic.  I made that one up.)  Not everyone gets the same symptoms with Tallium poisoning.  I just decided they would get a different spectrum of symptoms.  Ostensibly, Severus would have had more exposure to hazardous substances in general.
