Finally I have finished this and given it the attention it so deserves. What a beautiful story. I love somuch about them. Harry who's so brave and confident, and yet so unsure and ZOMG! he's a virgin. I just loved that. Bottom!Snape - what can I say? He's such a weakness of mine, and the sex was so hot, I'm still fanning myself. Umbridge. ugh. I hate the old toad, and so does everyone else, but there's no doubt she livens up a story! I'm so glad Harry had his mentor, Cai, who was a great character. I loved snape's approach to Harry, wanting and yet being so careful when he knew of Harry's inexperience. Lovely interactions there. The scene where Snape asks how far Harry's trust extends is beautifully done. Just long enough, not too long, but each touch is perfection and has the reader holding his/her breath for the next line... Thank you so, so much for writing me such a lovely story. x Rakina
