Thank you! Yes, I know- someone had to stand up for Severus, right? And as Deputy Head, I think that's Minerva's job. Especially when Dumbledore was always plotting circles around everyone. Thank you so much- I'm glad that Severus and Minerva's relationship came across the way I intended.
And I killed Lucius because he betrayed Severus. xP In this one he deserved to die! Hehe. <3
