- So, at first I figured Harry was dreaming this (and really, can I be certain he's not at the moment?) Hmm...it certainly was a very realistic dialogue between them.
If she IS indeed in Harry's bedroom...in her PJ's...and this is the middle of the night...oh she's going to be in some BIG trouble with her parents.
(Wait...why WOULD she be wearing a bra with her pajamas? Now I'm back to thinking he's dreaming.)
Oh, you are evil OE. Evil, evil, evil....;)
Over forty years after the Final Battle, Harry Potter's life isn't nearly as charming as everyone thought it would be. Something went wrong, gravely wrong... Will he ever be able to let it go? Entry in the 2009 Challenge Fest. In response to the Snape in an Old Peoples' Home Challenge by preposterous purple crocodile.

- Oh P.G., I haven't been so moved by a story in AGES! Your portral of Al is fabulous; his love for his father just palpable. I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response:
Wow, such nice compliments! Thanks Cathy! I'm glad you liked Al--I was a bit worried he wouldn't go over well on a site that is so devoted to Harry and Snape, but I really liked the idea of giving him a voice in this fic. Thanks for reading!

- Oh, P.G. - you made me weep. For Severus' suffering, for Al and him wanting to get to know his newly discovered namesake, and for Harry...and their family's loss of Ginny. Nobody's grabbed my heart and squeezed it that hard in a long time through a story.
Very well done. Wow. *iz in awe of you*
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your lovely compliments, Cathy! I think this might be the most tragic thing I've ever written, so it's good to know that I've been able to affect people with this story. Thanks for reading!

- Oh, every chapter makes my cry. That's an enormous compliment, my dear, that your spin on the characters touch me so very deeply.
I felt like Albus, sitting on that floor, listening in on the conversation. One of the things I was so very happy about is that Snape got to have a life post Hogwarts. Yay!
The scene of Ginny's death was written so vividly that the horror of it was just palpable. I can now feel some real sympathy for Lily; I really hope they can bring their family together again.
Thanks for the new chapter, P.G. It was SO worth the wait.
Author's Response:
Thanks for your wonderful compliments, Cathy. You've made me feel very good about this story and I'm really glad you're enjoying it.
I was actually a bit concerned at having so much dialogue here without descriptions of what was going on. However, I really don't think Harry and Severus would have been as open if Albus was there with them. Also, every Harry Potter fic needs a little eavesdropping! It's one of those staples in J.K.'s writing that just keeps happening over and over. I'm glad you liked that part.
Ginny's death was rather depressing, but I'm glad you found some sympathy for Lily. Like Albus, she just wants to forget it ever happened and having been there herself, I think she has every right to be horrified about what happened. My lips are sealed about the fate of the family, but you'll definitely get some hints next chapter.
Thanks again for reading, Cathy; your comments have put a smile on my face.
