Ah, I loved this. When we were all thinking "Snape_after_DH" I thought Aberforth, FTW! He'd have known Snape for years, and a bartender -- especially one who just happens to be Albus's brother, and not necessarily on good terms -- is exactly the person a spy would know.

The "wabi-sabi" appreciation for the broken, the bitterly brought up, the ones who are carelessly treated by a golden Gryffindor, are again exactly IC for the owner of a rural pub. Aberforth knows how to deal, as Snape eventually does, too. (I wonder how much of that pragmatism and competence Severus learned from Aberforth? And I wonder what House Aberforth was in?)

The magical extension of the concept of scapegoating is very creative, and fills that canon hole about the goats perfectly.

Well done, all around.

	So glad you liked it! All the things you mentioned were exactly what drew me to this pairing, and I'm pleased as punch it came through. (Reply to this) (Parent)
