Oh, hon, this was beautiful! Seriously. It was exactly what I needed. Also, I don't think that this is so far off from what possibly could have happened. The voices were both so well done. I LUFFED! <3

Aw! Thank you! I haven't felt inspired in a while, so I'm glad I got something out of it. Honestly, yeah, the Snapelove is just growing. I feel awful for him. But anywho... THANK YOU for the review. *HUGS YOU*

This is just so very perfect. It's exactly what I think had gone on before the scene at the end of HBP.

Exactly! Thank you so much for that missing moment. It's exactly like what I think really happened!

(By the way, I'm Cindy and I play Stephen and Ciara in HS - I don't think we've met yet, though we have several mutual friends.)

I play way too many characters over at CS ;-) But it's nice to meet you!!!

[theliningsilver]

And also, thank you for the wonderful compliment!

Oh, my goodness. Utterly beautiful. I feel that this is canon -- Dumbledore's dialogue, Snape's internal conflict, so wonderfully real to me. I love this piece, and I'm saving it for rereads.

Aww... I'm flattered. Everyone's responding so well, and it was just a bunny that smacked me on my way to work that I had a great want to put on paper. I lucked out with y'all. Thank you so much.

I just told you this, but it bears repeating ... I can completely envision this scene as part of the book. I think you wrote it perfectly.
