Excellent fic so far! I'm impressed with your plotting, with how in character Harry, Snape, and the others are. I particularly like how you've handled Ginny and Harry's unraveling relationship, showing how they're not meant to be while keeping them friends in spite of the awkwardness. And the traumatic reactions Severus has, and his gradual re-gaining of personality seem very spot on to me, and well executed.

I hope there will be more soon! Do you have an update group? My email, if you do have one and could add me to the group, is shadygrl8@gmail.com. Thank you!

Ch. 17 Aww, I tawt I saw a pudditat!

Excuse me. Being an aileurophile myself, I understand how wonderfully calming it can be to have one of them around the house. Great idea of Luna to bring one into the house. Maybe Snape will continue to talk to it (cats do make people chatty for some reason) and Harry can listen in on the conversations. Tri-pawed. Heh.

I just remembered that the illustrations of Snape in Rowling

Ch. 23 Severus was surprised by the pang of regret that came with Harry's words, regret that seemed suspiciously close to jealousy. He couldn't tell whether he was jealous of the fact that someone else had succeeded where he'd failed, managing to teach Harry the complex discipline... or whether it was just a vague sense of discontent at the realization that over the last seven years other people's lives had been going on, while his own had stood still.

Six of one, half dozen of the other, no doubt. Seriously, Severus was a rotten teacher. His idea of Harry was telling him to block off emotion and practice, without telling him how he was supposed to practice. How do you learn to lock off your mind from mind-reading if there
