This tale was so poignant and so beautifully conceived and executed. It really pulled the emotions to the surface. Both Harry and Severus were so original and their characters so well-developed. Telling this story of their joining through the portraits was inspired - I particularly loved the scenes with Severus interacting with the portraits when Harry wasn't there. And the chairs! Loved the chairs too! An all around uplifting story and a great holiday offering. Just loved it...
