Wow. My account has been deleted it would seem through lack of use, but I'm vertizart on livejournal. This is a wonderfully crafted story. I'm loving every minute of it. You have a beautiful way with words and the way your snape is evolving is so much the way he was in my head. You've captured a maturity in Harry that I don't see very often, making me actually rather like him in this. But there are few who can capture Snape's sense of overwhelmingly imposing intelligence in such few words. Concise and wonderful. This is really a class above the rest.
