(Sorry for the length. I got carried away. It was that good!)

It was with a hideous sense of inevitability that at that very moment, Severus realised it was all going to hell.

D'oh! Spoke too soon. Oohhh, this so not good. ::worries::

It took an hour before he started to scream, and by then the glove was dripping from every fingertip.

::whimpers:: Not again.

Before he blacked out he saw his own dismembered torso, the eerily bloodless stumps of his arms and legs.

::appalled:: Oh nooo...

As if they're all theatregoers, here to see a play. Which, of course, they are. A grand farce of Justice, with me as the Melodrama Villain.

Okay, I can do without the nail-biter, please.

"I looked into the abyss." Severus' voice was slow and deep, as devoid of human intonation as the tolling of a funereal bell. "The abyss looked into me." He bared jagged teeth in a ghastly smile and rumbled, "We called it a draw."

::fist pumps:: Boo-yah!! Take that, you evil fat pink toad! :P Rock on, Snape!

…the stain began to fade. It grew paler and weaker the further it spread, the more it was shared, until in all that countless multitude, every inch of skin was completely clear of stain and free of curse.
Even Harry's face. Even Severus' hand.

::cries a bit:: That’s so beautiful. Splendidly done!

"Where exactly did you get that cape of yours?" he inquired slowly.
"Er..." … Harry gave him a sheepish grin and pointed behind them, at the arch.

::jaw drops:: Harry’s Griffyndor-coloured shower curtain cape that acts like a pet was the Veil?! ::bwaaahahaha:: Most original!

He banished the patronus and found himself reaching up to the quivering ball of fluff as it sidled back onto his shoulder. He wasn't decided, though, until the owl rubbed its downy head against his no-longer-cursed fingertip.

Dolly was so cute. She handled Snape’s intimidation with such pluck.

Severus stared down at the tragic absence of tea, and at the dragon, circling inside his ceramic nest and breathing glittering puffs. … "For your information, I take my tea with lemon, not dragon." … "He'd be brilliant at barbecues!"

::snickers:: Harry’s habit of reducio-ing "every dragon in sight" was adorable. Also, nice nudge at Team Dragon. ;) ::chortles::

I loved the whole triumph of the human spirit theme going on throughout the story.

An exceptionally fine story! I laughed, I cried, I cheered. Red Right Hand was a sublime tour de force worthy of much praise. Kudos! Bravo! Huzzah, sinick and ac1d6urn!

	(Sorry for the length. I got carried away. It was that good!) eek! Please no! Never apologise for all that detailed feedback! :) I loved the whole triumph of the human spirit theme going on throughout the story. I'm so glad that came through: we wanted to convey how both of them could triumph over terrible odds. Thank you so much! (Reply to this) (Parent)
