What an interesting story! I'm going to have to reread this when I have time to savor it. I love how Snape was able to turn this curse into a way to support himself and find acceptance at Camden! How awesome is that? When Umbridge came on sceen I was so horrified - Umbridge as Minster?! That's going to be hell! And it really was. At times everything seemed so bleak, but then you'd have things like crazy!Harry knighting Snape and bringing him tranfigured lizards. Very cool.
