Примечания автора: Disclaimer: I completely acknowledge that JKR created this world and everything in it. That said, I think Harry and Severus are much happier with my version of things than they were with hers. Just saying.Note 1: For a specific scene in Snape's 5th year, a lot of the dialogue is taken directly (or paraphrased) from The Order of the Phoenix, Chapter Twenty-Eight: Snape's Worst Memory.Note 2: The description of Tom Riddle when Harry first meets him is taken directly from The Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Twenty: Lord Voldemort's Request.Note 3: Many thanks to my betas: Regan_V, Beth H, Joan Wilder, and snakeling. Any mistakes after all their hard work are all my own.
