Wow. Just incredible. I'm not sure how I managed to NOT cry, I think it helps that I read this at work and at several points was forced to step away from the screen to do something work related, thus allowing me the opportunity to collect myself, lol. Draco totally broke my heart. As did Lucius. And Ron. Hell, just about everyone in this story. And Harry...wow. His journey to maturity was beautifully done. Even Hermione retained a large presence in this story despite the circumstances. Severus, though. He was SO HIMSELF, very IC. How he and Harry grew together throughout the tale was an incredible and yet inevitable thing I think. Fabulous story.
