I really like the magic in this, and the way the theme of the title carries through. It was very descriptive. I like 'seeing' all the locations and really getting a feel for the surroundings. You really got through to me how horrible it would be to be stuck as an inanimate object like that. *shudders* The different POVs worked well for the story. I loved that little kiss Harry planted on Severus's cheek, and Sev's confusion over it. Congratulations on your first fic!
