spectacular
what a well told story- and a rich world with a fantastic adventure and phenomenal character development... sigh.
seriously. I coud barely contain my sheer glee at the awkward yet satisfying reunions, the machinations of Dumbledore and Pish... getting to see Tobias redeemed... the weird that was the stuck at the age one died at thing... the hot tension between Severus and Harry... BAMF!Harry and the ultra awesome sword... Tom Riddle, evil as always, the dipping into old lore. I love every piece of this. AND the squirrell. I could go on for awhile, usually I get bored with these attempts at serious adventure plots, but yours was truly genius.
