Really enjoyed this, as I've a soft spot when either of their attraction to one another is forced by anything. I was wondering if Harry actually felt something for him before the rite, but I loved how he did what he did because it was the honorable thing to do. Your Harry was so mature, and Snape's voice was right on. I liked that, too, that Harry took the time (seven years, my god) to be sure, and the ending was so very sweet.
