That was really good! I esp. love the part where Snape is wishing for someone to stop him.

I absolutely loved that last line. Just Wonderful.

You postulate that Dumbledore discussed this possibility with Snape beforehand and left the choice up to him? Yet how could he, if doing so risked the entire enterprise? There would have to be some payoff for the Order, some fallback position of strength, for Dumbledore to be so blase about this development.

Canon-quibble: Hermione didn't lead Snape anywhere. She was waiting outside his room to keep an eye on him but she didn't know where Dumbledore was or where the action ws centred.

Wow, that was very interesting! I really loved the last line; "It does well for one to remember: at one time, even Lucifer was the most beloved by God." Very true.

But, I hold out on hope that Severus did what he did on Dumbledore's orders, and that he is not evil. If he were, it would betray the whole theme of the series: things are not always what they appear. So, I hope and pray that Severus will reveal himself as an agent of the light and stand beside the Order in the last battle. Ah, I'm a wishful thinker! And a Snape-a-holic, too! Sorry I borrowed your word! :)

Cheers,

Brilliant!

"It does well for one to remember: at one time, even Lucifer was the most beloved by God." Is my favorite line of the piece- Once more: Bravo!
