What is this angst, bb?! *beams* Has someone corrupted you to seeing the rightness of ripping out your character's hearts and throwing them away without a second thought?! *preens*
I love this!!I can so see Severus and Kingsley together. I adore the way you had Kingsley so anxious he had to be drugged in order to leave Severus' side. And Severus so weary, that he had to get up to rescue Hogwarts and the brat child *again*. Ending with the throwing of stones into the river was beautifully melancholy.
