Author's Summary: Auror Harry Potter learns a startling secret about his former Potions Professor.

Review:
'Nocturne' is one of my favorite vampire stories in the Potter'verse. Engaging, long, and void of the normal vampire cliches, it features a post-war life for Harry and Severus that is bleak, lonely, and a touch sad. That is, until they find one another and everything (slowly) changes.

Tira Nog does a superb job of making Snape's predicament seem real, with less emphasis on how fast-strong-enhanced he is and more of the fact that he's considered a monster by everyone, including himself. Harry, in his turn, is delightfully aged, with the wisdom of years and experience (and Gryffindor bravery) pushing him forward, even when he doesn't exactly want to be pushed forward.

Better still is the fact that the plot doesn't get bogged down once it gets going; there are no strange side trips, no strolls down memory lane where we have to read through page after page of what happened in the war. Instead, the story focuses on the here and the now, with Severus trying to find a cure for his disease and Harry trying to prove to him that he isn't the monster he thinks he is. Overall, I'd say this story is definitely worth the read.
