Like Severus, I admit it took me a bit of time to warm up to this story, but once you got to the cherry liqueur and Filius explaining his own stint in Azkaban, I was hooked. And once that happened, there were so many other little details of characterization and observation that I've had to go back multiple times to pick up on the ones I missed. (Plus, Mozart as a wizard makes so much sense!) Great job!
