Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
Author's Response: Okay let's see if I can remember the other review, so I can review them at the same time. Yes, please breathe. It's essential for functioning. ;) I do need to deal with the new legal issues the revelation brought up. Although now it's easier since Severus does have full parental rights. He really doesn't need to do anything in regards to that, but a new set of forms may need to be signed. It won't be dealt with next chapter, since the Order meeting will take up the whole chapter if not part of the one after that, too, but I'll be sure to address that soon. A super, extra thanks goes to you since I know how much of a pain it can be when it comes to typing on a cell. :)
I feel a tad sorry for Minerva as she is totally clueless in how to handle Harry, she tried so hard but did the wrong things. ("She had insisted, more like demanded, he eat more than a few spoonfuls of oatmeal, which of course just came back up less than an hour later, and then proceeded to give him the last Transfigurations lecture he had missed since he had been in the Hospital Wing.") Ghh...that would be annoying. I know it will be some rough times ahead, but I hope that Harry will forgive Snape for his serious lack of judgement years ago. Like my comment about Minerva, he did what he thought was right at the time but now knows better. I can't inmagine the guilt he must feel now. "If he wasn't, he'd find someone magical who was even if he had to resort to the use of the Imperius curse to convince people to get tested. There wouldn't be a question if they could find a match when and if it came time for Harry to need a transplant, not if Severus had anything to do with it." Aww already the protective Dad, though in a sense, he's been that for a while now. ""Hand me the needle," Severus demanded. Poppy placed a new needle into his hand. "Hold my arm steady and be ready with the collection phials. " LOL, sometimes you gotta do it yourself if you want something to be done right! Reminds me of when I was being tested for Luekemia and the nurse at the blood lab I had to go to get four phiels of blood taken didn't do it right and then later also lost the BLOOD...not the results...but the BLOOD and I had to get six more phiels taken that night at the hospital...I wasn't a happy camper and very close to grabing the needle...anyways... I loled at this part, "Severus reached over to pull the hood of his hoodie up over his head, extending it over his eyes." Aww, that was cute, Severus playing a bit. "The wolf was passed out and right in front of the floo, a display considered most uncouth in wizarding society." Naughty Remus! I know he's probably most depressed, lossing a great friend but naughty naughty! ""What?" Mrs. Weasley roared, her face reddening to match her hair." Yikes, I would NOT want to be in Molly's way! Is she mad at Severus, or just really concerned? I know she feels as though she was lied too. ""And they call you a Gryffindor," Severus called after the child, lifting up his glass of water. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were a Slytherin." "The Hat tried to place me there," Harry called back, his amused voice echoing off the stone walls. "What?" he choked on his water. Harry was almost a Slytherin?" I would have LOVED to have seen that scene, lol... Questions: -why did Harry's scar bleed earlier? (lol, I think I've brought this up before) -Is the Order meeting really gonna be the next chapter? (hehe hint hint) -I know the treatments aren't necessarily the same time, but will Harry have to undergo Radioaction in addition to chemo? -lastly, are you only updating on Thursdays now? I see that's been a pattern of late, and was curious. Thanks and until next time, later. -Is Harry ever going to let his friends visit (I know he feels confused and uneasy at the moment and rightly so)? - Author's Response: I know what you mean about life being crazy. Has Kohl's started to shift into Holiday gear like Old Navy has? We just started a new logistics process and our shipments have been larger than normal. *sighs* Minerva is trying her best. I think Harry recognizes that, he just isn't comfortable enough to really speak up about what he needs yet and I'm not really sure he even knows what he needs. I think Harry will forgive Severus, though maybe not right away. Severus is feeling tremendous guilt right now, and I think Harry's forgiveness will be the only thing that'll help. Yes, he's becoming a protective dad quickly. :) The nurse lost your blood?! Omg, I'd be so angry. Remus was very naughty. I imagine seeing one passed out as soon as you get there through the floo would be a horrible display of manners. First impressions mean a lot after all. I don't think Molly is necessarily mad at Severus. She's a mix of concerned and angry at Dumbledore. Yay, I'm happy to hear you loved that scene with Harry revealing he was almost a Slytherin. Ugh, I keep meaning to revisit Harry's bleeding scar but I always forget, probably because it's not a huge deal. Thank you for reminding me yet again. ;) Yes, the Order meeting really will be in the next chapter. lol. I have no plans for Harry to undergo radiation (radioaction) in addition to chemo. One, I think that's one treatment wizards/witches would think extremely strange, and also there's a lot more risks and potential long-term side effects with radiation. In leukemia, radiation is mostly used on the spinal cord/brain and Harry will continue to receive intrathecal chemo instead. As far as updates goes, late, late Wednesday night/Thursday mornings seem to be the new pattern though it's not necessarily my defined choice. The combination of work and class has been kicking my butt from Thursdays to Sundays lately, so I usually don't get to start on the next chapter til Sunday night or Monday. I always try to finish it Wednesday night since Thursdays are rather full with work, Grey's Anatomy, and Project Runway. lol. Yes, Harry will see his friends soon. I think the first step to that is allowing Molly to visit with him. He is feeling confused, uneasy, and just uncomfortable in his own skin right now, but he's starting to come to terms with his cancer and that's a huge step in "facing the world." Thanks!
Dumbledore is about to get into a world of trouble and he certainly deserves it. According to the information that he found in the box at the Ministry, Severus was supposed to be informed of the truth of Harry's heritage if he was possibly dying. His cancer could kill him, so he should have been informed. Dumbledore is obviously hiding the truth from Severus for reasons other than that promise. I have a bad feeling that he will do just about anything to make sure that his precious prophesy comes to fruition and the thought sickens me. I hope that they get to the bottom of this soon. I can't wait to see Molly tell Dumbledore off; it should be a harrowing experience for him. :D Author's Response: Thanks! You certainly are getting Dumbledore's character. I'm sure Severus will get to the bottom of it soon. He's becoming awfully protective of Harry, which is a good thing for Harry right now. He doesn't need to be worrying about the war right now, though no matter how hard Severus tries, the war will soon affect them...
Author's Response: I'm sure Severus won't go easy on Dumbledore. After his "conversation" with Molly, I'm sure his patience will have disappeared. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of his wrath, which Dumbledore will find himself at. Harry will meet up with his friends soon. After the current week's chemo treatment, I have a plan for Harry to see them, which will be hinted at either in this next chapter or the one after that. I'm happy to hear you loved Severus' thoughts about his relation to Harry. He's certainly torn. Thanks!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!....one day early lol! Off to class now! ugh it's cold >_< I'd be like Harry and say to Sev "you take the explosion (Mrs.Weasley), Sev and I'll come save you from the rubble." Author's Response: I don't Lupin is necessarily a drunk, more like depressed and grieving from his best friend's death. He'll probably be the "wild card" during the meeting, since his reactions will be rather unpredictable. It's finally "cold" here, and I'm so happy about it. lol. Granted 70 degrees as highs isn't exactly cold, but it's a very welcome change from 90s everyday. :)
Author's Response: Yay, I hoped people weren't turned off by the father/son dynamic. It was always in my plan from the very beginning, which is one of the reasons I chose to mess around with Sev's parents. I wanted Harry to have cool, fun grandparents because he's missed so much already. I'm sure there'll be much drama when Harry is told. In some ways he's much like his father, especially when it comes to their tempers. lol. I'm happy to hear everything is described well with believable characters. That means a lot to me as a writer to know that I'm doing well for you guys. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm happy to hear the development is coming across well.
Author's Response: I'm working on it. Well, not yet, but I do have all day off tomorrow finally. Yay! Mondays are usually my major writing day, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks!
I was a bit concerned that Poppy wouldn't have a head left after trying to refuse to have Sev tested. Now I'm a bit concerned about both Molly and Sev--who will be left standing after this yell-fest.(I am hoping for Sev--he did shapen his tounge before calling her over, didn't he?) Looking forward to your next update! (imagine BIG SAD PUPPY DOG EYES! ;-) ) V. Author's Response: I decided not to go with the devil horns on Halloween. The headband wasn't comfortable enough to wear to work. I, however, did wear my "Property of the half-blood Prince" shirt and drew a Dark Mark on my left arm with a Sharpie, so I think I still qualify for that title. ;) My bets are on Sev having the edge since he was somewhat prepared for Molly's wrath. lol. It'll be interesting to see how their tempers class though. I just hope none of it gets transfered onto Harry. Thanks! |
