What a wonderful story! *sighs happily* I never would have thought Sinistra to be so young, and having started so recently at Hogwarts, but it makes a lot of sense and works perfectly. I so love her way to get into Snape's good graces, and become a friend, a lover, and a partner to him, and finally to assuring his survival. This is what he should have had in canon right away, someone really caring about him and what happens to him. Making all this fit so well into canon is all but easy, and you achieved that perfectly. And the part with the Celestial Code was brilliant. I love it when an author manages to introduce a new piece of magic lore and it's fitting so well into canon, and am in awe of the intricacy and logic involved of this one. And I also shudder to think what Dumbledore would have done with it - so good he didn't get his brains on!

Thank you so much!
I did a fair bit of research on Aurora and, this image of her stuck with me, so I based her character on that actress.
Making her young was taking a chance, but seemed to fit with this image, and I decided she would have to be a strong woman to stand up to the stresses of the age. I even pondered making her a Ravenclaw, but decided Severus wouldn't have been as open with a non-Slytherin.
The celestial code was fun to create, although I admit I had to do a lot of hand-waving to make it work in my mind . *g*
*shivers with you* Yeah, Dumbledore with information like that would have been lethal!

Thanks again for the fabulous comments! :)
