I've been trying to finish this since yesterday and I kept getting interrupted dammit. What an awesome story! The complex, brilliant plot, all the wonderful magical details - it's evident you put a lot of thought and work into this. Wow. I loved your Harry. Such an infuriating but lovable cheeky brat. ;-) And your Snape was perfect! LOVED him. And the dialogue! And the humour! Awesome. I enjoyed this so very much! I have a strong suspicion who you might be, secret Santa, and can't wait to find out if I'm right or wrong. :-)
