This is such a hot story. I love that it starts with the searching Harry from DH. I think JKR did Snape a huge disservice with how she left him in that shack and how you kept him in Harry's thoughts did a lot toward making that better for me. One of the Trio... either Harry or Hermione ideally... should be the one to carry a torch for Snape out of that shack and make things right. I love that he still cares enough to 'go on a Snape hunt'. He probably finds something a LOT hotter than he expected (SURELY Snape and Draco planned his welcome), but he will probably be glad of it in years to come. Great story. -Clare
