*happy sigh* I was sucked in right from the start with Harry's interaction with Mortimer. :) I just love Harry's children--a very clever lot and yet, like Harry, leaping without necessarily looking first. I liked Fred being able to tell that Severus wasn't dead, the description of the John Doe--that the tattoo ruled out his being a priest!, and Narcissa being the one to take care of Severus's body. Of course, Harry and Severus get their happy ending too. Well done.
