Comments: I love this story! It is hard to watch a proud wizard like Severus struggle...I don't want to see him die. I HATE that JK Rowling killed him off. He deserved a life free from his masters. I almost cried learning his Patronus could not be cast. Perhaps it is a temporary affliction. Maybe it is hard to conjure a happy memory when your almost on deaths' door. I really like seeing Harry and Draco come together. Guilt can do some powerful things!
