Oh my god. You made me like Dumbledore again! This fic actually lets me stomach canon.
I usually hate stories told in first person, but this worked. The bit about Snape saying he hates Ginny because love was cheap and expected to her could only work directly from Snape's mouth.
You also did a great job weaving in other characters. Snape and Minerva had a great dynamic. Harry's children = perfect. I usually like Albus to be the Slytherin, but it worked for Lily...because one Potter child has to be a Slytherin.
My favorite lines...
Professor Snape would have been the first to tell you that I'm not good with words. In fact, he told me that I was an inarticulate arse about six times a week. So it's ironic that it's me being the one to speak for him.
So sweet. So Harry.
I certainly hope that Minerva hadn't ever carried a torch for him; the man lacked both a chin and a backbone, but those sorts of childhood hurts scab over but never seem to heal. I consider myself an expert on that subject.
"You are here because you wish my advice on which fork to use?"
What brings you here besides your apology—four years too late, I might add—and demonstrating your pathetic inability to name children. James? Please.
About time, since they've been miserable forever. Plus, Dad is so gay.
And I really loved the mumbled Harry line about the potions NEWTS. Classic!
But the best is that Snape compliments Harry for his command of fandom terminology.
All in all, this fic left me feeling very fulfilled. The only thing I'm left wondering is exactly what appalling things Malfoy fucked when he was a student?
