A great start for the Snarry-a-thon. First to get it out of the way: Snape in a beret. Bwahahahaha! Funny. His anguish at the situation was well portrayed. What a terrible prospect for him to end his difficult life having lost his humanity! Harry-the-healer was wonderful. Mature, self-confident, caring, understanding. It is nice to see him not rely on his DADA skills, or the strength of his magic, instead having discovered and done brilliantly in a completely different field. My favorite scene: The both of them admiring Snape-the-magpie's collection of bobbles. A wonderfully warm and tender moment. The progression of their attraction was very well done. Your writing is a perfect conduit to storytelling with no affectation or cumbersome wording to pull one out of the tale, and you and your betas did an awesome job at editing, leaving a flawless text. So, congratulations on a job very well done, and thank you for writing!
