Thank you a lovely story.
good story that should have a tissue warning because it made me cry, a sequel and a prequel to this story would be great but that is up to you. as i say great story.
Very nicely told!
I wanted to cheer at Poppy Pomfrey when she magically nailed Albus in the Great Hall. The description of that scene, including when Snape comforted her, was so very vivid that I could see it like a film in my mind as I read. Wonderfully done!
I also liked how you don't have Harry immediately losing his mannerisms, and coming to instant terms with his horrid past. Even knowing that he'd never go back to the Dursleys won't be enough to erase the damage that they did. Only time and care, which Severus is going to provide, will do that--a lot of both!
I liked the mental image of Severus sitting on the cushion on the floor by Harry, purposefully lower than Harry in order not to incite that fear response that comes from being loomed over. Candlelight, the sound of pages turning, and peace... :)
Very well done! It would be nice to see another story in this ficverse, about settling into his new home situation.
