Thanks so much for the awesome comment. :) I'm so happy the fic came through that way to you--it worried me a little that nothing really happens in this fic; I mean, there's not a ton of movement...it was more a sense I wanted to convey, a feeling of Harry being small and quiet and a child, and Snape being forbidding and protective and unyielding--and responsible, you know? Trustworthy.
