Melusin, I saw a post about your story on LJ's hgss comm page. It's wonderful! MLC stories ~pro and con~ give us a chance to explore a person's reactions during an admittedly adverse situation. The idea of Severus having to take Trelawney's name was a real kick in the teeth. Their daughters are interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. Well done!! FlittterKat
