Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments. Harry's stubborn nature gets to me. In writing him, it nearly always irritates me, yet I think it's in-character, for him. I love writing Ron, and it was enjoyable to write a capable and adult Ron interacting with a no doubt reluctant Severus. Only for Harry, I'm sure. Since I was including paper clippings, I had to give The Quibbler it's say!
