if albus could have cast finite on the stone transmitting everything later he could have done it when he first tied snape up

but who knows if important information could have come through (and admittedly, it did--about voldemort finding out snape is a spy) while snape was tied up so he had to listen to his son screaming

dumbledore i don't think you get to call yourself a good person

oh man

now harry is going to be even more upset because he'll be certain that no matter how much snape says i took you in willingly (i doubt he's currently physically capable of saying the words "i want you here") harry will be convinced he was strongarmed into it, because why else would snape have not put himself on the list?

snape......you have no idea how attached harry is to you, nor how deep his issues about being WANTED run

Ok, so like 10 years ago when you first publish this, I loved this storyline. And then I couldn't find it again. By absolute Harry Potter luck, I found you again, and not only is it finished but you have more to the plot line and I'm obsessed and I've lost sleep the last two nights getting caught up. I am so ready to see how the rest of the story goes!!!!!
