Lord Voldemort droned on and on

Monologue-ing. Villains can't resist. :D

I couldn't resist reading your story to see how you write Andromeda/Snape. I can see Hermione binding Snape's wounds, she's the most compassionate of the trio and the most logical.

How intriguing that you had Snape teach Andie (Dromeda is such an AWFUL nickname I can't bear to use it) to make Wolfsbane Potion (in your previous story?). You left off the "Potion", which people naturally do in talking, but in text you should have it to distinguish potion from plant.

I had a hard time imagining Severus admitting to being smitten or sad to leave, but you capture his personality delightfully overall, and he would be the type to resent Ted Tonks' good fortune and "endure the day" at Hogwarts.

The hardest thing for me to adjust to is Andromeda being calm and kind when she's just lost her daughter and son-in-law. You explained it well with the line, "I need to have something to do with myself, anyway, or I'll start brooding and that won't be good for anyone."

Andromeda just seems so cold, telling Draco, "your facts are technically correct" and then saying about Ted, "I wasn't in love with him or anything." I'm hoping she's like Spock in Star Trek 2009, doing her best to suppress emotion.

Just read the end, yes, that's it. I'm glad my faith was justified. :)

Author's Response: You're so sweet to read and review this! Thank you!

This Andromeda was attracted to, but not in love when she got married to Ted. (She actually called him 'Mudblood' on their wedding night.) I tried to keep pretty close to canon in the Perseus story, but part of the premise is that the mythical Perseus never met Princess Andromeda before he saw her chained to the rock and I was using that story as my jumping off point. In the chapter after he dies, I have her basically bedridden in a funk that doesn't go away until her grandson is born.

In my mind, there's this Black thing that enables Andromeda to be emotionless when there's work to do, so she doesn't get emotional until she gets a chance to sit down and catch her breath. Ted's the most likeable character in the entire canon, so of course she came to love him. She had to get used to feeling safe first, and then the attraction she always had toward him took over.

Interesting thought about Snape admitting he was smitten. Maybe he wouldn't. It seemed to me that things like that might come to mind as he's trying to place himself... now I'm starting to wonder. I tend to write him as wishing he could be emotional if only he didn't have all that other stuff to deal with. I probably tend to go too far in that direction.
