I felt this story! Wow! Will reread again! I think I found a new author to follow

This was briliant, I wish there was more. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this.

Wonderful, beautiful, sweet ending!

First, let me tell you that it was a well written story - at least the plotline. It flowed well. The only issue I have with it was the "pairing". While I do not have anything against same sex couples, it is the fact that both characters are not gay in any sense of the imagination. Yes, this is AU, but the characterizations of both Harry/Snape being gay is foreign. Dumbledore, yes. Even Draco - if you were to stereotype. Harry is the anti-thesis to gay, besides the age difference.

Otherwise, it was a well written story. Good job.

Oh, how sweet! I'm so glad Harry understand the care and feeding of a Snape, and how to revive someone nearly dead back to full health.

Well, this is the kind of sentence I hoped for, really-someone has to be blamed for what happened, and Tom Riddle isn't around right now. I suppose Kingsley had to impose some sort of penalty to appease the Hang'em High Club who will be howling at him anyway for not having Snape Kissed.

Plus, Kingsley probably knows that any harsher sentence would result in a) Harry breaking Snape out and b) both of them disappearing permanently.

Snape is quite right, rules are pretty meaningless to Harry Potter, but somehow I don't think he's complaining about *now* (then again, neither is Harry once he gets his breath back).

Ha, Harry should be planning to break Snape out of Azkaban if the verdict goes wrong-he would do as much for Hermione or Ron, that's for sure.

Very good summing up.

But you know, the Wizarding World has to have someone to hate, so nobody questions what the Ministry ever does...

Excellent chapter. Even the Hat realized that Portrait! Albus is still running Hogwarts and that both Snape and McGonagall were just his hand puppets.

I hope the Wizengamot realizes it, too. After all, wasn't Dumbledore Supreme Mugwump? One has to wonder who his hand puppet there on the Wizengamot is.

Kingsley, perhaps?

Ah, I see Poppy was in on the coverup to keep the Marauders out of trouble, though I wish she would have admitted it.

But of course the Malfoys are still free-they were on the wrong side, but they were rich and pretty. As we know from all the newspapers, this makes as much difference in the Magical world as in the Muggle one.

As for Kingsley-is he jealous? He really doesn't like Snape, but what's his reasoning behind it?

Yes, four against one is always fair-if the one is Snape. Right? (and I say four against one, because Remus helped them make the Map and kept the secret of the Cloak, as well as acting as a lookout for them when they were busy).

Wheeler's testimony may seem minor, but pinning down Sluggy's lies isn't a bad thing either.

Too bad that Neville can't testify at the trial. But I'm sure there's some strange reason that he can't, right?

Why isn't Harry planning Snape's escape in case the trial goes the wrong way? What happened to our Gryffindor Screw The Rules Harry?

How is Harry conjuring his Patronus at the same time Snape is summoning his? Remember, it needs a wand to work, and Snape has his.

But otherwise a good scene.

Very good set of interrogations-Harry caught Flitwick in the logics, which is a very painful place for a Ravenclaw.

As for Mulciber, I'm not certain how that one worked out...
