I normally race to read your stories but I was very uncertain of this cross over - even though I love Hamish and the gang. Much to my suprise you made it work. You have a way of removing Harry and Severus from all the usual props - Hogwarts, Harry's friends, most of the wizarding world - and yet still retaining their essential characters. They have moved on with their lives in ways that are totally in character, and the way you have blended them into a new family group is beautiful And oh how I wish I could have Snape reading audio books to me. I'd never switch off my ipod!
