Wow! What a fantastic beginning! I thoroughly enjoyed the first story, and I'm sure this one will surpass it.
I love the Potter's wedding portrait (ad that Lily and James can move about to other pictures independently.
Thank you for Lily's conversation with Severus that concluded the chapter. **happy sniffle* I always wanted her to forgive him, and for him to forgive himself. :)
Well done!
Author's Response: *grins* Thanks for the enthusiastic response. Regarding the portrait, I sort of took Hogwarts (and canon) and ran with it, where portraits are concerned, which means that any person in a portrait can travel to any portrait in the same building as their own, and if one exists, travel to the frame of a portrait of themselves in another building (and via that portrait, have access to all other portraits in the second building). The people in the portraits seemed so ... alive ... in the books too, so that allowed me to pretty much go 'it's them, with decade-out-of-date information'. That it allowed me to give people who (in canon) really needed the closure a chance at getting that closure was just gravy.
While Lily may have forgiven Severus, I don't think he's forgiven himself, and doubt he ever truly will, but knowing for sure that she forgave him, even knowing that he'd pointed Voldie at her, has definitely taken a weight off his heart and soul.
