This story was spectacular! The occlumency was very detailed and well planned and the time in the hospital witty and very in character.
“If you were a Legilimens, there would’ve been no need to ask,” Snape finally returned dryly. “It’ll be a task of epic magnitude.” Then Snape’s hand was smoothing Harry’s hair, passing lightly over his head to his neck before drifting from his shoulder. “And judging by the disheartening thickness of your skull, I’m not certain it can be done.”
I loved this! The ending is so hopeful and left me smiling. Wonderful job.
