Thanks -- it seemed the simplest way to make the two match!

So he was telling the truth after all. Clever! And oh, poor Snape.

snorkackcatcher July 25 2007, 09:37:56 UTC

Thanks. And yeah, poor guy -- even Harry ended up feeling sorry for him. :)

Very nice. I love the way you tied in his expressed vision with the real one.

snorkackcatcher July 25 2007, 09:45:19 UTC

Thank you -- I imagined he was telling the truth, just not all of it.

Oh, Dumbledore. This is really clever and sad.

snorkackcatcher July 25 2007, 09:46:27 UTC

Thanks -- it just seemed to fit.

I love how this ties together not just what Dumbledore saw in the Mirror of Erised (and does it in a clever way - he didn't really lie to Harry; half truths are very Dumbledore) but also Snape's feelings for Lily and the Resurrection Stone.

Thanks -- it did say Harry had thought he might not be quite truthful, and they were trying to keep Ariana doing only non-magic things, so it seemed to fit!
