I love that Harry is learning, which will bring confidence and hopefully forge a stronger relationship between him and Snape. Lovely chapter!
Another good chapter and more delightful growth in their relationship. I really am enjoying this tale.
Author's Response: Thank you :)
That's true. I wonder if they'd donate a spell to deaden nerves.
Author's Response: Maybe, who knows..
Awww!!!
me encanta como detallas esta relación naciente,
es genial
Author's Response: ENGLISH!
True, but Dumbledore that about anything he wouldn't use. Oh and I have an idea for the cruciatus curse. What if once upon a time it was used to deaden the nerves for surgeries and what not?
Author's Response: That wouldn't work. While inflicting pain in order to be 'healed' is not completely unheard off, inflicting that kind of anguish so they won't feel anything during surgery is completely counter productive. Much better to feel the pain of surgery if the crusiatus is the price of sedation. Also, Crusio is supposed to cause tremors as an after affect, not very useful when preforming surgery. It may have been invented for that reason though, but if so than it ended up completely useless for it's purposes. But I'm not looking for the reason behind it's invention, nor am I really looking for a 'light' way to use the curse. The whole 'The exception proves the rule' thing :)
As for Dumbledore.. I'm not certain if I agree with your assessment of him. To start with the fact that you seem to think Dumbledore has an aversion to the darker arts.. Personally, I don't think that's true. I think he was badly burned when he was younger and decided that he needed to stay away from that kind of temptation. But I don't think he has a problem with Snape walking on that border he stays so far away from. He trusts Sev, because he has already made a mayor mistake and learned where his personal limit is. I think Dumbledore trusts those with experience to know what they are doing.. It's just that Dumbledore is afraid for those without experience, he fears that they will have to learn the same way he and many others did. It's the whole ancient man with ten times our experience wants to protect all the 'young-lings' from his mistakes. He doesn't understand that it is precisely the amount of experience he has that limit his world-view. It's like every experience is a rule. The more experiences you have, the more rules that govern the world around you. More rules means stricter world and thus less possibilities.. I think I have something similar in my next chapter, though there it doesn't pertain Dumbledore. :P
Dumbledore needs to get his head out of his ass. There's nothing wrong with tube book that Harry was reading.
Author's Response: True, and Dumbledore knows that. But remember, ones upon a time both Dumbledore and Snape were sorely tempted by the darker side of magic. Both of them made some serious mistakes because they wanted power and sought it with the help of magic.
Dumbledore is afraid that Harry will make the same mistakes they made. He doesn't understand that unlike them, Harry is truly selfless. Nor does he realize that Harry's interest in the dark arts stems from his love of all magic, not his lust for power. So, he's not happy that Harry is reading that particular book because of what it might mean for Harry, and possibly for Snape if he is teaching Harry dark magic.
Snape on the other hand, has learned something vital about Harry's character during the first few weeks of the summer. It's why he choose to be Harry's guardian and decided to teach the child. But I'm not going to say what since it will most likely be explained in the final chapter... :D
