This was MAGNIFICENT!!! Absolute best yet, Absolute Keeper, Totally Awesome! I loved your Harry, the Drakes, Severus - all their characterization. I felt so sorry that Snape's leg couldn't be healed fully by magic - I believe that is related to my arthritis, one of my favorite fantasies being that is could one day be healed, and I would be forever without the discomfort and inconvenience by way of limitations it causes. Poor Severus, I totally empathize with that. I think that you have chosen good ways to show Harry and Severus are truly good people, to help Ginny & Neville, after what a shrew she's been - but then, that is the definition of kindness, isn't it? Helping those in need, even when they dohn't deserve it, knowing it will help them to be better, happier people. Very, very Well Done!
