This is perfect! I cannot say for sure what is so wonderful, b/c EVERYTHING seems to be!
I love the organization, the pace, the descriptions, the conversation, the Moody^^, McGonagall's indignation over Severus's glance at her trunks, Severus's *own* trunks - they have that in common - or perhaps Snape got it from her. Minerva did teach Snape before Snape even began teaching.
I only regret that Snape was only 22 (which means Harry was 2^^), and in no way able to partake in Snape's 'vacation.' I think I am trying to say that I miss t3h snarry, but this is so, so, so GREAT in everything else that....
