As always, you have written a wonderful story, full of detail and texture. You made me weep, when the portrait came to life, although it meant that at last Severus was free of pain. A little piece of me did not want Blaise to have Harry because only Severus gets to have Harry, and it was sad to think that Severus' postDH life was difficult and full of pain.
IT'S NOT FAIR!
See, you made me shout and that is a tribute to your skill as a writer. Kudos, my dear Josan.
