Review:
“I’m going away for a little while.” A story where Harry leaves, and Snape doesn’t care. No really, he doesn’t.

This is hauntingly good. It’s dark in the way only a Snape fic can be. I love how there’s no compromise, how Snape is just this immovable object and no matter how many times Harry crashes against him he will not yield. And in walks McGonagall, the perfect meddler in this.

Considering the length of this fic, I was amazed at how much I loved it. It may only be twenty thousand words, but it feels so profound. So much more epic than it actually is in length.
