	I loved this story. It was so melancholy at times but still so hopeful. I liked that Harry knew the cat was Severus from the beginning. I was startled to learn Harry was the cause of the fog (I didn't think of that, it was brilliant) and the two of them coming together was perfect. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you. :) I think it came out more melancholy/sad than I intended, but I'm glad you liked it. Sorry for the late response to your review! And yes, I was quite proud of the fog connector. I imagine Harry felt a lot of comfort at Kings Cross with Dumbledore. (Reply to this) (Parent)
