As if I didn't know who wrote this *G* Only you can capture N'orleans like that my dear.
You did bring back some painful memories, it was hell on earth here and we didn't get half the damage that New orleans got. The sweat and tears *shivers* It's still hard to visit New Orleans, you can still see the markings on the houses down there, it's painful.
The way you bring Harry and Snape into the setting is amazing. I can really see them here and that takes one hell of a writer to accomplish that. Wonderful job, this is another one of your fics that is going into my favorites folder.
