Thanks ^^ Hope you don't get into trouble ;) I feel bad for Dumbledore too, he tried his best in difficult circumstances, but I felt that Severus would probably see the situation in more 'black and white' terms. He was in a bad emotional state at the start of the chapter and, after Harry's shocking revelations, hearing that Dumbledore had sacrificed Lily's son for the greater good would probably cause him to snap.  

Thanks ^^ I'm glad you're enjoying it. Historical fact really helped me in this chapter; although, of course, James I did not attack Hogwarts, had the school existed, it would have been entirely in character for him to do so. Thus, I was able to find a reason for Myrridin's martyrdom and anchor my original character in history, which I think helped him to feel more real.

Harry was in transfiguration class: "Having spent most of his Transfiguration class staring out of the window, Harry was not wholly surprised when, at the end of lesson, Professor McGonagall rather sharply asked him to stay behind". Hermione (the petite, bushy-haired witch), was dragging Ron outside because she was angry with him, thinking that their feud was the reason why Harry was distracted and, therefore, about to recieve a ticking off from McGonagall. I wanted to create the sence that Harry was stumbling through his school day with his head in the clouds and, therefore, I used subtle markers of events rather than heavily marking people and places. Unfortunately, it seems that this might have meant that the circumstances were not too clear.
