    Fantastic chapter, I like that the Weasleys, Ron and Hermione are being kept to one side Snape/Harry interaction is far more interesting. Keep up the great work and tell Flurry to bring dog repellent spray. Post soon

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you like all the Harry/Sev interactions. We'll be seeing the other characters soon, but don't worry, the heart of the story is at Harry and Sev's interactions. 

    I think Flurry will give your dog(s) a run for his money. She's smart, but of course I'll pack the dog repellent just in case. Thanks!

    Well, send little Flurry on over here please!!

    Poor Harry and Severus. All Harry needs now, its this on top of everything else. I can't believe that Dumbledore obliviated Molly like that, but I guess it's for the best.

    But if Hermione and Ron still suspect the cancer, hopefully they'll be smart enough not to spread the news.

    Great chapter as usual Ella, I'm dying for the next one to find out what is happening with old Voldie.

    Author's Response:

    *Sends Flurry to Pandora* 

    Poor Harry, indeed. He can never catch a break, can he?

    Dumbledore won't get away for obliviating Molly that's for sure. I'm looking forward to writing how that all unwinds. Thanks!

    Brilliant chapter. Poor Harry I know what it's like to feel nausious all the time it's horrible. can't wait for an update

    Author's Response: Thanks! Feeling nauseous is horrible. Yuck. I agree, poor Harry. I hope to start working on the next chapter today so we'll see how that goes, plus I need to work more on my fest fic.

    I'm starting to really hate ole Dumbles.
    And UH OH Tom's at it again!

    Author's Response:

    Dumbles can't give up his meddling, but he'll get what's coming to him, and yes, Tom couldn't stay quiet for long. He certainly doesn't care that Harry might not be able to handle him right now. Thanks!

    Dumble, Dumble, what have you done? He would have to intercept letters between Harry,Hermi and Ron- otherwise his lie willbe discovered soon. Actually, it would be interesting if the lie and Obliviate is found... It would change the Order dynamic, wouldnt it? I was surprised how little be trusts his Order members... Mila

    Author's Response: Dumbledore is a little stuck in his ways, and I think he still doesn't quite get how sick Harry his. I think deep down he thinks Harry will be up to fighting Voldemort soon. Dumbledore won't be able to control everything no matter how much he wants to, and I'm looking forward to writing his little plan unravelling before him.

    *shakes head and shouts*
    What else does Harry need? Why not amputate his legs as well, and then give him a brain tumor as well as an eye infection that would take his sight. Then he can catch small pox but die of scarvy!!!
    *cough*
    I need to hug something cute and fuzzy - where is my teddy bear?

    Author's Response:

    I don't have a teddy bear for you, but you can borrow Flurry for a day. I'm sure she'll let you cuddle her. 

    Harry has a tough hill to climb, but he'll gain a few things along the way even if it doesn't seem like it. Harry's tough and he'll fight back.

    Great chapter. Smoothies sound like a great idea. Easy to keep down too. :) Can't wait to find out how chemo goes!

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like the smoothies. Unfortunately it doesn't matter how easy something is to keep down for Harry... I should have the next chapter posted tomorrow sometime since I'm almost through writing. :)

    Great job as always! I am looking foward to reading more, you are doing a fantastic job. I loved that Severus is becoming more and more caring for Harry, with the smoothie and wanting to ensure that he has food that not only Harry WILL eat, but WANT to eat. It was also very endearing to see Sev's reaction towards Harry's reaction to his smoothie, I'm glad that Severus was proud of himself. It was sweet to see Harry's reaction towards his just now discovered bedding and his facination with every kind gesture. I had to seriously laugh when Snape was waking up Harry at the beginning and the child thought that he was Ron. LOL, I'm glad that Severus didn't tease him about wanting to "skip potions." hehe. It was refreshing to see Snape caring not only for Harry's physical state but his mental one as well (noticing that Harry could easily go headlong into depression), as it is often that one's mental state determine's how one's physical state responds to treatment. I hope that Voldemorte doesn't get wind that Harry is fighting his other voldemorte, but if the pycho does, I know that Sev will protect him. I think that it is awesome that Harry's starting to trust Snape enough to depend on his words and allow himself to sleep knowing that Snape is there if anything goes amiss. Poor boy though. I wonder if there were any letters in the post, particularly from Hermoine and Ron and family. I can't imagine them just giving up on contacting Harry. LOL, I'm surprised that they haven't done more than they have already, now understanding Harry is so sick and COULD die. LOL, though I know she wouldn't at first know really what cancer was, I'm surprised that Molly hasn't stormed in yet..lol...she's a big mother hen, that she is! I'm sure Hermoine has gotten every book at the local libraries and bookstores on leukemia and is more than "eager" on sharing the information with Ron and his family. Since this is a Sevitus and is under the father section but doesn't include an "adoption" warning, I wonder when Sev and Harry will figure that out! I hope Dumbly didn't do anything...well...dumb, like oblivating Severus "for his and the good for all" earlier. It's pretty obvious that he DOES know something since he did get Snape to sign the supplycoughcoughpermissionslipcoughcoughearlier. Wow, I probably ought to get that cough checked out! If it does turn out that Dumbledore did do something so stupid, may I have permission to turn my slythern wand on him? Well, just wait, I won't even ask, I'll just do it. I wonder how Sev and Hary will discover the truth, I'm guessing it will be something to do with having to get a bone marrow transplant since you are typically supposed to have a relative's blood and magic type. Then again, that would man that Harry's chemo didn't work...poor boy and no, I'm not asking, just thinking "outloud"..."outtype?" I am looking foward to reading the next few chapters since they will have a nice tough of agnst in them. I'm anxious to read it, but understand about real life too. I remember you saying you go to uni, and work at a department store, I work at Kohls' Department Store, where do you work? Anyways...great chapter as always and just to let you know how happy I am with this story, I first read it on my PHONE the MOMENT I woke up at 6 AM, then now when I am on a computer had to retype my WHOLE review because the first one got lost when said computer messed up. It's taken me an hour between the two reviews (remembering what I wanted to say and all that...lol.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much! Someone else reads chapters on their phone when they wake up like I do. Yay! lol. ;) 

    Sev knows that Harry's chemo treatments will adversely affect his appetite, and he's trying to find foods that are full of calories to get Harry some nourishment, practically an opposite of a diet, but with nutrient filled food. I'm glad someone pointed out the little exchange between Harry and Sev when Severus was waking him up. I liked that little part. I don't think Sev will forget it, and might tease Harry a bit later about it, in a good way when Harry is up for it.  

    As a spy, I think Severus is attuned to recognizing people's mental states, so that'll be an asset in helping Harry through his treatments. So much of anything is mental, and Harry in some ways needs more care mentally than physically after his childhood. The way Harry trusts Sev is kinds strange. He trusted him with his life even when he hated Sev, so it's like opposite in the way most others trust people. lol.

    I think there was a letter for Harry, but also another interesting one... Molly will certainly have a few things to say when she sees Harry next. You're right in assuming that Hermione and Ron didn't keep it a secret. You may need to keep your wand handy. I think you'll want to use it later.

    I work at Old Navy, home of the freaky Supermodelquinns. It's not bad, but we've had some newer people that just don't get things that make things super frustrating because I work in logistics so everything is based on when we get done and how we put things out. Thanks again!

    Yay go Slytherins! XD
    Yay to fruit smoothies! Though bananas are too sweet for me :P
    Harry was so cute with his bed linnens, I wonder if it really feels that nice? I don't have bed linens lol just mattress cover and blanket. *sigh* Chemo T_T so afraid of that, it's a last resort in my opinion, I wish Severus and Harry the best.

    Author's Response:

    Bananas are too sweet for you? Wow, I've never heard that being the problem for a person before. Then again, I have quite a sweet tooth. 

    Fresh, quality bed linens really do feel that nice. lol. I don't use a flat sheet, but I can totally tell the difference between my Egyptian cotton one and my others even though it's only like 350 thread count. Next time you're at the store, feel the sample or open the little package of like a 750 count sheet set and you'll wish they were yours. lol.

    Sev and Harry will need your wishes. It won't be an easy road for either of them...
