Something shines briefly in Potter's half-starved face, something hot as naked flame, as deep as honey. I could love you, Snape thinks to himself, feeling the words as if they were chiselled into his very bones, I could love you.--Night Watch

	Adorable! I love the unabashed grin on Harry's face, his expresison is so warm and welcoming. And he's bare feet. Win. XD (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Snape's deer-in-the-headlights look is precious! I also really like the leaves flitting in front of the moon, they somehow add to the atmosphere. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks!! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, fabulous, this was one of my favourite stories from the writing Games! All the different layered leaves on the tree add up to quite a nice effect :). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You've captured the joy and romance of Harry seeing the sky after so long and then looking back to share it with Snape. This picture makes you want to smile back, well done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gnomad 2007-10-27 04:02 am UTC (link)

	Mmmmm! I love Harry's wee bum! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gnomad 2007-10-27 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Hee! The bum is much pared down. He had quite a bit of junk in trunk when I first drew him... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	estioe 2007-10-25 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Snape's expression is priceless and I love Harry's smile and his bum, of course. ;) I don't believe I've read the story it's based on, so, I'm off to read now! :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Fantastic job, and I must compliment you on a great choice of fic. mia_ugly is one of my favorite authors, and I'm obsessed with Night Watch. On a side note: I love the tree and the moon. They look like a movie somehow -- just paused. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There are a lot of details I like in this picture. Most notably are the leaves, stars, and the windswept look of everything and everyone in the picture. Harry's bare feet are charming. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mmm, August moon, and freedom. And Snape looking so shellshocked, perfect! (Reply to this)

	svartalfur 2007-10-29 10:53 am UTC (link)
	That's very lovely. The full moon with the leaves, Harry's smile, his bare feet. (Reply to this)

	klynie1 2007-10-31 12:18 am UTC (link)
	I hadn't read the story, so I went back to read it. You've really captured the ending very well! I love how you've captured both the joy and the pain/fear. :) (Reply to this)

	verdenia 2007-10-31 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Great rendition of a great fic--kudos! (Reply to this)

	Oh, I just love their expressions! Snape looks completely bewildered. g (Reply to this)

	Oh, this reminded me of Mia's fic all over again. Excellent choice of fic, and a nice job at the illustration (which is great on its own merits too). (Reply to this)
