    I really wish that Harry would go to Severus about Aran, or that Severus at least finds out soon! And absolutely yuck, yuck, gack on the vat of dark marks moving around. Very creative, thank you.

    I don't do LiveJournal, or I'd "floo" you there. To answer the question raised earlier about where Harry offers to charm off the Dark Mark but Severus points out that could lose him his arm (!), it's in this chapter of AYLNO, #85-The Dark Mark Returns, last section. It's where the following dialog occurs: "Charms, Harry thought, something catching at his consciousness. Charms . . . charmed potions . . .

    "Dad," he said when he'd chased that thought through to the end. "I was just thinking . . . what if I brewed some kind of charmed healing potion, and used a wanded charm to make it really powerful, and we tried using that on your wound after we cut the mark away? It might heal you up well enough that you don't have to go through this again."

    Snape growled slightly. "It might also seek perfection to the point of banishing my arm into oblivion, you idiot child."

    Yup that was me on LJ - I'm honored - I know you get a lot of e-mail and it is flattering that you recognized me. Thanks for your response - I'll keep an eye out for the reference.

    P.S. - Loved ASLNO and while only glancing at AFLNO so as not to give anything away to myself - I'm loving it already through the comments. I love how you portray the characters. My only regret (and this is just my personal quirk) is not enough McGonagal (she's my second favorite after Snape) love that Lady!! And she is a Lady!!

    Thanks for the hours of enjoyment.

    Why doesn't Harry try to use his "dark" magic to get rid of Snape's "dark" mark - or does that just sound dumb? (I'm re-reading this story while waiting for a good chunk of AFLNO to be done - I don't handle cliffhangers so well - but what I have seen in reviews I know I'm gonna love it!!)

    Author's Response:

    I think you left a comment on my LJ recently -- your handle sounds familiar.

    I don't remember now for certain, as it's been years since I wrote AYLNO, but I think that this comes up in the fic at some point. Harry offers to try his powers on the Mark and Snape thinks that's uncontrolled, untested magic and Harry could very easily remove his entire arm without meaning to. So they decide that's not an option.

    If you run across that in the fic, let me know what chapter so I can refresh my memory, too!
