What a remarkable twist on the usual clueless!Harry. Clueless!Snape may be my new kink. This was amazing! The scenes with Eileen were a mixture of funny, and sad, and heartbreaking. Somehow I expected her to miraculously survive, but I think I'm actually glad that she didn't. It made everything so much more real. Though I thought you broke my heart with Severus's helpless "Isn't there anything you can do? You're Harry Potter, for Merlin's sake." "You know better than anyone that that doesn't mean a thing." Snape nodded glumly.
*sniffle* This was really an amazing story and you are fast becoming my favorite HP author.
