very good

An own character I can believe in! I wouldn't go so far as to say I've never found one before, but you get the picture. I love the plot; it's definitely believable from my memories of teenaged romances, the short-lived infatuations, then the jealousy and deep-seated grudges that they create.

I found that this story got more and more engrosssing with each chapter. I felt mysef truly empathising with Severus as he was prtrayed and I wanted nothing more than to give the poor dear boy a hug. A plausible and convincing theory for why Severus turned to Volemort and further reason why Snape so detests Black is also represented in this work And finally, it was very refreshing to read a fic with Severus Snape that carried a certain amount of innocence. I found the writing style was a bit choppy, especially in beginning, (Which is why I only rated this story an eight) but with each chapter the wording and sentence structure got stonger, and there were numuerous scenes of great eloquence and beauty.
