My gawd that was a lot of weight on my shoulders while reading about Harry's treatment my eyes were glued to the words! I finally took in a breath when Severus could take him home, but then Harry wakes up in a panic. *breathes*
Okay *breathes in-and out* lol!
I really do hope Harry won't be too mad with Sev :( I dunno but I would feel bad like Sev but at the same time there really isn't much you can do if a specialist tells you it's what's best but then again they could be wrong because they're only human...arg!!!
Sorry for my babeling, again....
Ah we're on the low number said :(
Hopefully you'll loves us all the more since there are less of us to remember :) lol I'm kidding.
Great job with this chapter I'm learning more and more every time. :3
Author's Response: It was a lot of weight on my shoulders writing it! Not only did I have to work the emotional angle, I had to make sure I got the medical facts hopefully all the way right. *breathes* lol. ;) I'm glad to hear you were glued to your screen. That means I must've did something right. Get your breaths now because I don't think the next chapter will be any better... And if it's any indication, I did post the chapter here before I posted it at FF. Thanks!
Yay! Excellent chapter, of course! I just wanted to be the first to post a review! Especially since FF beat us...*sighs* It's horrible...
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: :) You were the first review.

This chapter is a nice break from the tension, a very touching break. I am a kitty person and I love the fact that Harry and Flurry get along so well.....nice twist with Flurry being Lily's cat!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! It's a little break. Perhaps I should've called it "The Calm Before the Storm"...Hmm, well the next chapter should be posted in an hour or so, so look forward to that. :)
I just found your story and I'm enchanted. You've done a wonderful job of conveying Harry's fear, Sev's concern(as well as his dismay at finding himself concerned.).
Thank you for sharing your story! I'm looking forward to your next update.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you found my story and are enchanted by it.
Augh! I never get updated about this story. Grr.
I totally did not see this twist coming, but that is okay! I really like Flurry and also that she doesn't mind showers. I'd like to bring her home with me. ;-)
This was a cute chapter. A nice little breather before the whole procedure, I am guessing.
Looking forward to the next one!
Author's Response: Thanks! Sorry, I don't think Sev will let you take Flurry home. ;)

I have mental problems. I could have sworn the cat was called Fluffy, though I don't think this is a continuity error; I read so fast I often get the wrong words! LOL. Once a name was Slavka, I was reading so fast I simply pronounced it Slovakia! I always do that with new words, though obviously Flurry is not a new word, so I guess I just have mental problems. Anyway, on with the actual review. Harry's thoughts on the cancer...poor boy! I don't have words to describe how I feel for him. YAY, go Severus! I love that he asked Harry to call him Severus, brilliant! And the way he comforted Harry after his nightmare...GO SEVERUS! I love the way Harry talks about his cancer in terms of Voldemort and his Death Eaters, brings a bit of humour to the situation. I loved it when Harry asked Severus not to go, and i had thought it would be the Hickman procedure, but I guess it is now bound to be in the next chapter. It was almost anti-climatic, but then with Harry's nightmare and the discussion about Flurry (and my discovery of her true name, I was clearly drinking in your words way too fast!) and it defiantely wasn't. I'd been wondering about Flurry (honestly, how could I have thought Severus would have a cat named Fluffy!) and was very glad to hear her intriguing back story. I also liked the fact that her breed? Species? Subspecies? Were normally potioneers cats, and the story behind her name was great too. I'm probably going to review you on fanfiction.net now, just because I have an account there and can put you on story alert, but I just wanted this review to be on here to beat fanfic! Anyway, I will be BookWormVicky on there, just so you know.
Author's Response: LoL. I think you got confused because sometimes I described her as being fluffy. While everyone was waiting for the Hickman procedure, the nightmare factors into something else that's coming. I had to add one more thing onto Harry's ongoing list of problems. ;) I'm glad you loved the chapter and I'll look out for you on FF.net. Thanks!

Flurry is very sweet. She sounds like a very useful animal for a Potions Master to have.I hope that the procedure to install the Hickman line isn't too horrible for Harry. Loved this chapter, can't wait for the next one! :)
Author's Response: Flurry is a very sweet cat, like cats are supposed to be *gives my evil psychotic cat who bites an evil look.* I don't think the procedure itself will be too horrible, but we'll see. Thanks!
I like the Flurry story :) Poor Severus. Well, not he got the kid, too... Mila
Author's Response: Yay, another Flurry fan-club member, and someone's been reading the whole story listing. ;) Thanks!

Great chapter! I know we can beat FF.net! I am loving this story and how accurately you portray the feeling upon a cancer diagnosis. Soon, Harry may even begin feeling tremendous guilt for being a burden to Snape.
Author's Response: FF.net is up more than 10 reviews right now. I'm happy to hear you love my story. It puts a smile on my face after a boring day filled with class. Trying to get the emotions right is tricky, and I like hearing it's accurate. Thanks!
