Fabulous! You absolutely broke my heart with Severus so beaten down by the horrible way he's been treated through life (god, Lucius was so right), and mended it with the way Harry kept smiling back in his face, unperturbed by the vitriol, then broke it again by the way Harry kept getting snatched away, hurting them both so badly. Thank Merlin Severus needed Harry so badly he overcame his dudgeon! *clings*
