Whoa, Penny, this is one of the absolutely most original stories I've read! I love the universe you've created -- you had me at the very beginning with Hrafn. Then to see Harry rushing into things and giving into his curiosity like he always does, only to need Snape to save the day yet again... I laughed and scowled and yelled at Harry the monitor throughout the story *g*
I loved that little moment when Harry saw Snape and Lily speaking quietly to each other. You gave me the resolution I've always wanted to see in canon, and I thank you so much for that (even if it was only possible because of Harry's stupid wish-first-think-later actions, heh).
The ending both filled me with adrenaline and sadness, but also a little hope that Snape and Harry are heading toward the right direction. Thank you for a great read!
