Thank you for telling me what you particularly liked about this. I'm glad you liked the section on Severus's Headmaster year.
You need to know, though, that one of the reasons I picked St Cross for Severus was because it gave him privacy (and agency) as well as the beautiful setting and the creature comforts of his own flat and garden. Apart from the daily discipline of slipping into robes and going off to morning prayers, St Cross seems to offer a remarkable degree of independence.
