"I hated that I knew I would protect you no matter what, even without promising it to Dumbledore, and I hated that you never recognized that."
There it is, our Severus in a nutshell.
There aren't a lot of stories that leave me wanting more, but this one did. I want to know what happens now that the wizarding world knows Snape's alive. I want to know how Molly reacts. I want to see explosive argument #394 (because we all know there will be at least that many). Yeah, I really, really enjoyed this. :D
