Snape's respect for the island had increased just the tiniest of bits whenever he woke up to the surroundings being completely transformed. It was London, and though it was not the London he knew best, it still felt very nearly like home, with its strange fashions and cobblestones and little ramshackle shops. It wasn't Hogwarts, and it wasn't ( Read more... )

I couldn't say why this feels so important. After everything, a birthday party might feel a little forced, but the way I see it, every fucking moment is precious.
