Happily married for 20 years, this coming October. Two lovely daughters, four lovely grandkids. I always knew Snape was the most interesting character in the series! I love good writing, especially with good spelling and good grammar. [Report This]

Lovely chapter, this. I always enjoy watching Severus and Harry start to work things out together. Good job.
I love it when Snape cares for Harry; makes me cry.
Powerful, well-written chapter, especially the last section. Very well done...just like the Death Eater garb.

"Big-nosed horrible oily man" made me laugh out loud! You really do have a way with words, my dear.

You've really given the characters and their motivations a lot of thought. You really understand the nature of love, too. It's a real pleasure to read Severus' and Harry's--and Draco's, Ron's and Hermione's--understanding of each other grow and change. Brava!
This was another incredible chapter. Draco proved himself a terrific brother when after that whole painful dinner, he was still able to come up to Severus and argue that not only had Harry been right in insisting Hermione be told, but that she and Ron should be taken into their inner circle. Well done!

This is my favorite chapter in the whole story, maybe even the whole series, including the WIP last third of the "LNO" trilogy. From the hollers of "Snape! Now!" to the "Snape wouldn't lightly brush his lips against the scar on his forehead, would he? It was just the wuzziness of the potions making him feel warm and silly and happy, and well, not hated. Not hated at all", this chapter was full of the most positive feelings between the two of them that I've ever read anywhere. If I could give you a "50" for now and all time for this chapter, I would. Bravissima, caras (since Mercredi helped, too)!!

Harry "Godric" Potter--pretty funny! (Thank you for that image, Draco!) Another excellent chapter!
I can't remember which time this is that I've reread this chapter of AYLNO, but I can tell you this: I think the title "My Broom Can Zoom" is absolutely inspired! Might I suggest that one of these years, once you've finished the last third of your trilogy, you & Mercredi devote yourselves to doing "My Broom Can Zoom"? After all, Rowling herself did "Quidditch Through The Ages" and "Tales of Beedle the Bard". I think after all the heavy duty angst, plotting, and the like which your "LNO" books embody, it would be a delightful diversion for you to write "My Broom Can Zoom"!

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."
