Oh this is awesome especially the last part with the students "he was theirs and it made them feel safer even if he was mean" hm i dont quite like ss/mm it feels like shes too old for him (._.)

It said nowhere in the rule book that deputy headmasters had to be impartial.

-After all, he's only following Minerva's example of so many years...

Excellent!

Ah. Snape is finally seeing the man in the mirror...in the eyes of others, and not just of the mirror.

This is good beyond my ability to describe it.
Shit... I'm *crying*?

This is angst. The very meaning of angst. So angsty in fact that i don't think i can read the rest of it tonight.

This is beautiful. You've kept everyone marvellously in character. Snape is definitely the best - it's so like him to wear himself out so badly that he sleeps for thirty hours. The memories of Draco and Lucius are great.

Chapter 3 is superb. You've portrayed Sirius' slightly unhinged thoughts brilliantly, dodging smoothly between past and present. The last three paragraphs almost made me cry.

I really liked the bit about the portrait of Snape. I'm sorry this review is so erratic. I keep pausing to try and find words to describe this subtly beautiful story. Anyway, to sum up - it was great. Keep writing!

Incredable - an absolutly stunning work.

thank you so much for sharing it.

This is absolutely my favorite Snape-fanfic ever! I think it's perfect. I so loved the parts where he was looking after "his children", and of course the end, where he gets his portrait!

I also read your other Snape-McGonagall stories, and I became adicted to them. Please keep on writing them!

Wow. It made me both cry (and I NEVER cry) and smile, at the ending.

This was very well written. So far, I've only read some of your comedy pieces, but this was well done as well. You have a knack for writing Snape. Keep it up! :D

Very interesting story and a vivid imagination of what the future could hold for the HP characters. I actually enjoyed reading even though I don't like Snape.

By the way, it would be a bit easier to read if there was an additional break between each paragraph so that visually they don't all run together.

so sad :-(

Good story.

Today is the 11th of Nov. and for Canadians a day to count the cost of war. Your story closely mirrors the memories of those of my family who lost friends and a certain innocence after WWII.

Good job.

this is the most confusing story i've read in a while...AND I LOVE IT!
