That was an unexpected happening! Dumbledore should have set a ward to keep Vernon contained. Poor Harry. Those moments with Snape were moving.
Very touching chapter, especially the end.
Harry’s waking dreams are heartbreaking and so well written. I love Luna’s role in your story.
Not one of Dumbledore’s better ideas!

That was quite a diatribe! Very entertaining chapter.
The correspondence between Snape and Harry is fantastic.

Snape’s musings are insightful. I really enjoyed Luna’s thoughts as well.

When I heard about Alan Rickman I decided to reread this awesome story. I made me feel better. I adore this story. It is beautiful.
This was very well done, and you should be quite proud, I think. I mustn't lie, though; Snape and Luna as a couple seems very wrong to me.

"Harry raises his glass. "To Lily," he says, surprised to hear the roughness in his own voice. "To family."
Snape's mouth tightens fractionally, and he lifts his glass.
"To love," he says.
And as Harry drinks, he realizes that, to Snape, and to him as well, they are all the same thing."
And yet another killer line.
Well I certainly didn't expect the ending! Lovely twists. I enjoyed that you just tugged a bit at the story we knew rather than wrenching it out of all familiarity; it's the kind of ending that works so well because the original was so painful, but also because you go farther than the book in painting the future for the characters. And, to be honest, I think the craft in the way you did it worked more for me; I quite disliked the epilogue in the book because it was such an abrupt transition, but you've smoothly moved it forward in smaller jolts and I felt eased in, not thrown forward. It makes the general swell of happiness feel more earned and more settled.
I'm so impressed and so glad I got to read this lovely arc. Thanks for sharing!
