Reviews For Alea Iacta Est
As always I'm looking forward to your next posting. Thank you for the efforet you put into your story. V. Author's Response: You're right it just seemed to fit there. Voldemort was out of the picture, and it was only a matter of time before the other shoe dropped. I'm happy to hear you liked the attack and that you thought it was well-written and played out. The next chapter will focus on Sev and he'll be taken by surprise which is always fun. Thank you and you're welcome!
Much better than my cat who is too hyper and won't snuggle :( I loved this chapter. Voldemort's attack was very will written. The battle between them was neat. And I loved little Harry building sandcastles, that made me smile despite the seriousness of that part. Author's Response: I'm happy to hear you loved Harry building sandcastles. It was a tiny reading respite during the angst. Thanks!
Occlumency lessons are something I am always curious to see in new stories, cause each author does it a bit differently. I love that Harry is beginning to depend on and trust Snape and that Snape is letting him. I always thought the two would make a good team, if they could ever learn to get along. ;-) Looking forward to the next chapter! Author's Response: Thanks! I love reading other people's versions of Occlemency lessons, too. There's something so intriguing about the mind and being able to read, enter, or attack it. I agree that the two even in canon would've made a great team if they could've gotten along. They had so much in common even though they didn't realize it. Harry will slowly begin to trust Sev with more and more, but of course that trust will be tentative for a while. Harry's had too many disappointing adults in his life to trust easily.
More please! Author's Response: This new Snape is great, isn't he? Hopefully I'll have the new chapter up by Tuesday. Thanks!
First off, I got to give you "props" for your "skillz". This story is honestly one of the most well written I've read (and trust me, I've read A LOT). And although the cancer story line has been done a few times, you've managed to put a new spin on it. And you've managed to make me cry a few times, which is good. Well not good, but you know. Anyways, keep up the good work. I'm interested to see what Voldie-kins is up to now, and what that letter is. It's rather bothering me actually... OH. And Dumbledore is sneaky! You'd have thought he was Slytherin after what he did to Molly! :O I'll stop rambling now :) Author's Response: Yay a new reviewer! Thanks!! I'm glad you're liking my story enough to review. Your scheduled day with Flurry is Friday. ;) *Smiles* Thanks so much for the compliments on my writing skills. I really use this fic to try out some techniques and work on some skills to use in my original novel I'm working on. Plus, fanfiction is a lot more fun to write, and you get feedback so much faster. I've probably read those cancer fics you mentioned as I've read A LOT, too. I know what you mean about you crying being good, but not good. We'll find out about both Voldemort and the letter in the next few chapters. Dumbledore is sneaky, but I don't think he's been sneaky enough... Thanks again and don't worry about rambling. I love long reviews!
Author's Response: Yes, I gave you guys a cliffhanger. I think it actually helps me write fast because then I'm excited to write what's next. lol. ;) I have a few plans for Harry to see his friends and the Weasleys soon. I think he's pretty much comes to terms with his illness and he needed to do that before he could handle visitors. Though of course, Sev is going to be frantic and paranoid when it comes to allowing others into his quarters to see Harry. For Voldemort to keep his head down while Harry completely treated his cancer would be unrealistic. Treatment for ALL leukemia takes years though after the first about 8 months it gets easier. Plus, we're in the middle of a war, and the world doesn't stop for one person. Thanks!
Author's Response: Ugh. That had to suck that nothing worked. I'm happy to hear his reaction is spot on, of course. Thanks!
"Make it stop, please," Harry begged, his voice no louder than a whisper as he collapsed into Severus' lap. "I'm sorry," Severus cradled the child against his chest. "I can floo Miss Adamson and have her bring a different anti-emetic now, and we can try that." " Awww.... Hmm....I wonder about those letters, I really want to know what Ron and Hermoine wrote, I can guess though. Despite them being nosy, they are rightly concerned. It's not easy to be a kid and have a best friend with cancer, I would know...:-( (Then again, I almost know what it would be like to be on the other side of fence too, 'cause I got really sick and the dr. thought I had ALL but I didn't)...anyways, I am curious about Sev's letter, I wonder if it will be a letter stating Harry's real parentage. Oh about the thing with Harry losing weight and the Dr having to intervene, I wonder if that will happen. Dang, Snakeface had to go and ruin it again, Harry and Severus just can't seem to get a break from the "Hitler Wizard." ""Professor!" Harry yelled. "Voldemort...he's... my scar!" " That line sent shivers down my back, I am so anxious to hear...read...what happens next. I wonder if Voldy Pants is just angry and letting them know, or if somehow he's found out about Harry's cancer/real father. I hope that Harry will get a visitor soon, and no I ain't talking about Voldy...lol...I hope people don't believe Molly when she goes back and tells Dumby's lies. I am kinda hoping to see Lupin enter the story somehow, but love it the way it already is. It just seems that if he found out (and most likely he would, he'd want to at least visit, etc.) Anyways, I hope that you update soon because this is a fantastic story, and in fact, is my FAVORITE one. You go girl. And by the way, when does Flurry get to visit? I have a beagle-lab mix dog named Zac, but he's friendly with cats, at least the neighbors' ones, Boots and Ginger)...hehe. Please update as soon as you can. This was another chapter I read on my phone like at 1 AM and reviewed now. :-D Great job! P.S. I'm a cashier/training to be a supervisor but I've been around far long enough (8 yrs) to understand what you are going through, our visual team has those problems...not to mention we're a district store, meaning we have to train new managers and send them elsewhere and the offices are mine too...drama...drama...drama...lol. Anyways, great job! Author's Response: Thanks! Keep your wand handy still. You're right in thinking his act will be discovered. I'm looking forward to writing how that all unravels. You don't sound sadistic though I admit I have a tendency to torture my characters. In my original novel I'm working on, a father ends up killing his own son out of mercy. That was like the most difficult thing I've ever had to write. I think Harry will continue to have problems with the side effects of chemo. I'm happy to hear you loved those paragraphs. Sev's trying to do the best he can with Harry even though it's strange for him to comfort a child. We'll find out about the letters very soon. I think I was also tested for leukemia once when I thought I had mono. I was fine even though I still swear I had like a very mild form of mono. lol. I missed a week of school and just felt horrible, but I wasn't nauseous or throwing up. I was just super tired, felt generally icky, and sensitive to bright light. Hitler wizard, what a great name for Voldemort! We'll of course find out what he's up to in the next chapter. Harry will eventually have some visitors. I have a plan where he'll see everyone soon, but first he has to get through his week on chemo. Yay, it's your favorite story! That's exciting. I think Flurry is lined up for a Thursday visit for you. PS: I hope to get the next chapter out in a few days. it depends how I balance this story and the fact that I need to work a bit on my fest fic. Also, we're getting in a shipment tomorrow that's like double, almost triple what we normally get. Ugh. I'm not looking forward to it even though we should be getting in wintery stuff which is exciting even if it hit 90 today. Ugh.
And I have to say, I'm really glad that Dumbledore obliviated Mrs. Weasley. It kinda annoyed me when Ron and Hermione weaseled the information out of Madam Pomfrey. So yay Dumbledore! Now hopefully that works... I'm very curious to see what is in that envelope addressed to Severus. So what day do I get to keep Flurry? ;-) Looking forward to the next chapter! Author's Response: Thanks! I think we sometimes forget that the books happened in the 90s meaning that's like ten years worth of medical discoveries and drug developments that we're losing out on, which in such an ever-changing field is huge. A lot of the drugs and stuff they use now weren't invented/developed then. I don't think the oblivate will end up working in the long run... The envelope certainly has some interesting contents. We might not get back to it next chapter since I'm not sure if the Voldemort inconvenience will take up a whole chapter or not, but we'll get back to it soon. I think Flurry's scheduled day with you is Wednesday. ;) Thanks!
Is pedialite like gatorade? True we did know old Moldy-shorts wouldn't stay quiet long, but wishing he would stay out of the picture just a bit longer doesn't hurt, but it sucks that it comes right after the treatment :( Though I wonder what Harry was trying to say >_< Well I'll find out soon enough. Off to get ready for classes *sigh* Author's Response: LOL I'm not sure if Flurry minds dust or not, but kitty sneezes are so cute. Pedialyte is like gatorade only with a lot less sugar, and apparently that missing sugar is what makes it taste not so good. lol. Yes, Voldemort just doesn't know when to stay away. Of course, he doesn't know he should be staying away. Thanks! |
