*sniffs happily* I admit, I was afraid to read this at first. The words 'life-threatening' are scary, yo! But the way you spun this was perfect. The care and love that Harry and Severus displayed for each other throughout the story shone through crystal clear. AND you made me sympathize (briefly) with petunia, so kudos to you. *applauds* I even felt bad for her because her DIL wanted nothing to do with her (although I can't say I blame said DIL). Poor Severus. I bet he was never so scared. *cuddles them both* And so they lived happily ever after for like 150 more years, right? *smiles* Brilliant job! ♥
