This is so good hope to see more soon to see how they all get on

I'm so happy you're back

Just reread the whole shebang. Nicely put together. So this facility has increased his magical prowess and without the other spells on him, he has to find out who he is. That's a tough nut to crack at his age. It's almost like reinventing himself, especially when Dumbledore is still in the picture. I look forward to more Snape interaction and finding out what the twin had done to him.

Poor Severus. He misses Imber, doesn't he?

Severus may have working class roots, but he seems to be pretty fair at passing for aristocratic.

"Just stay still for the desperate, greasy potions master." Yes, I definitely like your ability to turn a phrase!

Good start, I think I am going to enjoy this one. I don't seem to be able to select and copy text, but I particularly liked the sentence about window of opportunity, time turner, speed and grapes accounted for.

I really like your world-building, with magic and with politics. The different views on and types of cleansing magic were especially interesting. In other stories it often seems like cleansing rituals should be as routine and universal as trips to the dentist, but somehow no one thinks of it. You made the big 'Dumbledore's compulsing us!' revelation plausible. I'm curious to hear what's up with the twins. Also, the fishermans' party was a great snapshot of ordinary wizarding life.

Harry-the-Phoenix has become a cliche but you made it fun, not just a powerup. I liked him singing about the jam, that was cute and original and appropriate for a baby songbird. I'm curious about the connection between his form and him as a small child rocking himself and singing in a dark closet. That's a haunting image.

Oh yay so glad you updated this! Love the politics and the exploration of magic and religion and basically all of the things. Can't wait to see when Snape reunites with Imber as well :D

great plot and ideas, I loved the plot, ideas, and story.
