Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
Author's Response: Don't be too harsh on Dumbledore yet. He may very well have a good reason to be acting the way he is...
Okay, I am complicated. I've always lived in the south. But I say Pee-can. My dad is from the north though, so I'm usually more of a northerner. Make of that what you will. lol ;-) Author's Response: Thanks! I think it would be somewhat unrealistic if Harry didn't have lingering insecurities after his time spent with the Dursleys. I'm glad you enjoyed Sev's transformation. I think Harry will be quite surprised when he sees Severus like that.
Author's Response: *Hands over a box of Kleenex* Thanks! I really like hearing that it was realistic because that's one of my goals with this story. I hope you enjoy the rest.
Author's Response: Yes, please breathe while you're waiting. Sev will learn some very interesting things at the Ministry. I hammered out the details of Harry's parentage the other day with my friend, and I must admit I'm excited to see how it'll go over. Your Dairy Queen story reminds me of the first time I went to DQ after moving to Alabama, though we went inside. I ordered a medium cookie dough blizzard with extra cookie dough and no chocolate sauce. Fine, right? Well apparently this Yankee speaks too fast. After the third time, I slowed it down like super slow, and I must say that they did make my blizzard right.
Author's Response: I figured something like that happened. i know you were suffering from withdrawals, so I'm happy to hear you loved this chapter. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! He had to look different somehow and what better than to dress up. The next chapter Sev will start to get his answers, and he's totally in for a surprise.
And Sev's tempertantrum was great! Loved the emotion. But poor man, pushing Harry away because he's scared, and poor boy, scared that he's gunna be sent away...:( But on the lighter side of thing, Severus Prince sound HOT!! ^-^ I imagine him looking more like Alan Rickman than Alan Rickman all pale looking like Snape. :D (I love that man!) I usually don't do this unless people as me, but I did find a few typo thingys you might check out:"father if they figured out Severus Prince and Severus Snape was the same person."-sorry, but this bothered me. I believe you should change "was" to "were" since you talk about two different names even though it's the same person. Was just sounded wrong to me, but maybe I'm wrong..."Severus hated useless paperwork that did nothing but took up his time"- I think "took" should be "take" here. And the line where Harry asks if Severus can stay, Sev's line after doesn't make since to me. I think you meant for him to say, "I must go," but it just says "I must" which makes it sound like he's telling Harry he "must" stay.: I don't mean to offend, and if you want me to shut up, then by all means say so! Heavens knows I make mistakes ALL the time. I really loved this chapter and I can't wait for the update! Hey!- I'm up-to-date! YAY!! Phew! Well, let's see here now, pecans...I say "P'cawn". "pee-cawns" has too may syllables for me and "pee-can" sounds too much like the breed of duck (Pekin). ^-^ So I'll await for your next update! Author's Response: It was a new letter. Albus has his reasoning and it'll start to be unraveled next chapter. I'm happy to hear you loved Sev's little temper tantrum. I'm glad you picked up on why Severus was pushing Harry away. I'll go fix those little typos. Though the if sentence is actually somewhat interesting grammatical wise. lol. If you go back to the if and think of the if phrase rule, was is used for things that are possible and were for things that aren't. That's why I used was. Took is a result of past tense writing. I'll totally go fix that one. I'll have to go look at the last one to see the whole line in context. Yay, you are up to date. Congrats! ;) Now you have to wait like everyone else. lol.
But poor Sev! He's all tired and corn-fused and doesn't know what to do! But his anxiety makes for our amusement. ;3 he's a good sport about it though...but I'm sure if he found out he wouldn't be! lol "Mustering up courage, enough to confuse the Sorting Hat to put him into Gryffindor, Severus opened his eyes, unprepared for the results before him."- best line!!! I loved it! Very, very good! It just brightened something inside me for some odd reason or other. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird sometimes ^_^ But oh, what now? What's everyone going to say NOW?!?! Oh! I can't wait! So I won't! Thanks for the candy, bye! *speeds off to next chappie* Author's Response: Yay, Ivy likes Harry's name. I wanted to pretty much follow the pattern of Sev's name in the Latin naming tradition because I picture the Prince family having a naming tradition like the other pureblood families. It also frustrated me in the series that Harry wasn't short for something. Harry is a good name for a child, but it doesn't sound very distinctive or respectable once he becomes an adult, know what I mean? I'm glad you liked that line. That one gave me a bit of a trouble to figure out the phrasing to sound right, so I'm glad it came out well. Yes, I'm sure you were off to read the next chapter right away. ;)
And poor Harry...again, being sick and tired and scared. Yay (again) for Snape being there! And let the lessons begin!! But Snape's gotta be getting tired too. I mean, you'd think he'd be worn out from battling Voldy and from his Dark Mark hurting him...hope he gets some rest. Butthere was one part that inerested me. The little kid in Harry's mind, why didn't he look like Harry? Hmmm...I think I might know where this is going. Does it have to do with the letter? Hmmm...I hope it's what I think it is. Very good! ^-^ I'm sorry I haven't read in a few days, but I've been on a writing spree, plus I've been pretty sick again, but I'm finally feeling better. Oh, yeah, um, about Flurry? I think she wants to come visit me more often. She and my cat Viktor really hit it off. Started torturing my sister's cat, you know? lol Well, I know this is late, but PLEASE give me your warm weather! Have thrive in the heat. This cold rainy nonsense is stupid :( Sorry for rambling, off to the next chappie! Author's Response: Thanks and I totally know what you mean. Sev is totally getting tired, and i'm not sure rest is in the cards yet. He'll be to busy with a few things for a bit, first. The little kid in Harry's mind was meant to look like Harry, just smaller and younger though it's interesting you read it a different way. It's good to hear you're feeling better. I don't know about Flurry. You're going to have to ask her and Sev. I'm not sure how willing Sev is to allow her to go off and visit others often. He's definitely attached to her. I don't think you want our weather today. lol. In fact, I think you might've taken our 90 degree heat from yesterday because today we only got up to like 69 and we're currently at 60! It feels amazing.
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting the next chapter written and out to you guys to see what you think, though I'm jammed for time until Monday. :( |
