Is it odd that I loved writing the dark, horrific scenes at the beginning? Thank you so much for your kind comments; Fenrir was always that way in my mind too, and when I saw Eriador's prompt mention Gilderoy, I was sure it was what I wanted to write. Oh, and thank you for noticing the Shrieking Shack moment! I always wanted to end it with a big werewolf scene there, and Harry helping Severus as much as Severus had helped him. Thank you for reading!
