Good conflict in this story. Harry was right to do what he did and, understandably, Snape was furious with him over it. I’m glad that Harry kept his promise to never leave and Severus finally relented and forgave. You never know with that snarky potions master!

I loved the imagery of Harry watching over Severus from the edge of the woods.

It seemed that death by Potter would finally do him in.

::snerk::

The day he felt anything but contempt and utter loathing for Potter was the day he'd dress in pink and sing 'I'm a Little Tea Pot'.

::snickers:: Why do I have the feeling that day will be soon? Hehhh.

"Goodbye."

::jaw drops:: Wwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!! I want a do over!

With a deep breath, Harry reached across the threshold to take Severus' hand.

::happy tears:: Thank you kindly!

This was a wonderful story. Well done!
