*glows* Thank you, Clare! Your comment has made me smile so much : ) I'm really, really glad you liked it, and that it hit you emotionally. That's the highest compliment I think a writer could ever receive, really. So thank you!! *hugs*
As for Lucius, I know snow and I give him the short end of the stick a lot, but I really wasn't trying to cast him in a bad light here. I was just thinking...okay, Severus' relationship with Lucius just...doesn't work out. Neither of them are really happy. Who does Severus turn to? And of course, being myself, I chose Harry. xD
Thank you again, so much! I'm really pleased you liked it. : )
