OK, now the reveal is done I can reply. :) Glad you liked it -- I felt a bit guilty in taking an old gen piece to remix instead of one of the Remus/Sirius or Doctor/Rose fics, that was a bit 'comfort zone', but I was finding it hard to 'forget' the last two HP books. Oddly enough, this one seemed the easiest to make fit, and it gave me a chance to write Snape -- who I'd never previously written as the POV character despite the fact that he's one of my favourites. It seemed that Regulus might have quite a different opinion of him if he knew his actual background.
