Summary:You disappear into a moon lit night, and I imagine I might have seen you go if only I'd been paying attention.

This is so well written. The present-tense gives it an immediacy as well as an uncertainty about how it will end. Sorrow and loss permeates this story like cold soaks through a rainy week. The images and words that begin each section are visual poetry. Yes, this is full of angst, but hope and love shine through like breaks in the cloud - and then the author pulls the rug from underneath us again. Sunlight and Moonlight, clouds and storms, the imagery weaves its way through the story.

The characterisation of Snape and Hermione is what makes this even better; they are far from simple, and that complexity shines through even when memory is missing. The complexity and the love.

If you like Snape and Hermione, this is a must-read.

So... what do you think?

A bit too angsty for my tastes, though it was well written.
