This was wonderfully creative and unique! I loved the way that thoughts flitted back and forth between Harry and Severus, loved the central conceit about Hogwarts, and I especially loved the way you wove the love story into the work. AND, possibly most importantly, I really adored that Severus respected and loved Harry for his final decision, and that he saw it for what it was - what it meant for him. This is quite incredible and so skillfully done - excellent work.
