Reviews for Obscura Nox Animae
excessivelyperky chapter 92 . 7/26
Glad to see there are some Slytherins left in the world-most of them are disappeared in most post-DH fics. And the Malfoys still have HUGE owe-mes out for Snape.

Splitting the potions teaching job is brilliant. I don't blame Lily for feeling left on the shelf, because she was for so long.

Sera probably is a genius and will be a greater one for not being abused for most of her life the way that Severus was, or isolated the way Lily was for so long. God help us all! But a little exercise and broom-riding won't hurt her, either. Later on, Big Brother Harry is likely to take her on Adventures which may scare her but which she'll adore and say absolutely nothing about to the 'rents.

Sadly, Snape is right, and once people are done being guilty, they'll go back to blaming him for everything that goes wrong again, sigh...or maybe they'll love his daughter and Lily well enough not to start that up again. And...he's changed.

I was surprised that Lily wasn't on a potion, especially since Sera would have been weaned by then. But Stuff Happens when you're in love.

Thanks again for the Epi Epi Epilogue-

Wonderful story!

There is a lot more more to childbirth and the aftermath than you wrote, but I don't blame for wanting to skip over those bits. Seraphina sounds like a delightful little girl, and I don't blame Severus for not wanting to miss a moment of her first year, at least.

I am glad that Snape won't be at Hogwarts for Harry's first year, though, the phrase "I told you so" would likely be on his lips way too often (as would the unspoken wish that Harry have students that are just like he and Ron were...). Harry deserves the chance to make his mistakes without that.

I love that Harry is going to visit so often, though.

Both Lily and Severus deserve this next year off. (and Lily will decide if she wants any more children, Sev won't have a lot of say in that one!).

Excellent chapter.

Aha, the moment she felt restless energy, I knew it! (my second one was 8 pounds 14, so I really do know what it's like!).

Petunia will never have a clue, will she? And yet there's more to her story than we will ever hear.

Harry, a teacher? May he have students in his classes just like him! I can't wait for him to learn the wonderfulness of grading, and a lot of the extra duties that will fall on him as the youngest teacher (though they will coddle him mightily because he's a precious Gryffindor, we all know that one).

And yup, she's in labor. Glad Severus was there in time.
excessivelyperky chapter 89 . 7/14
This chapter is splendid-I hate the Ministry for keeping Snape prisoner for two months, and their attempt to keep him forever, but I'm glad people rallied around him. (I do hope that Snape will allowed some Slytherin friends, mind you, Draco's not dead, right? So many post-DH fics have Snape as the only Slytherin still existing).

I enjoyed Sev's and Lily's erotic reunion, the shopping trip (Hermione has a good future as a personal shopper if she doesn't want to do anything else), but most of all, Harry's birthday. Harry understood that the gift of his mother's time wasn't a slam by Severus, not at all.

And I am a little bit surprised that her water didn't break...
excessivelyperky chapter 88 . 7/8
Yeah, right, Albus *always* has good reasons why Severus can't be saved and Harry can. I'm surprised Lily didn't torch the damn portrait; Harry's the only reason why she didn't. Sadly, he'll be running the school through his chosen hand puppet Minerva, and the legacy of Gryffindor Uber Alles will continue until the *next* Wizarding War.

And the portrait is *still* lying to Snape about the Elder Wand. I guess he thinks that Severus and Lily aren't going to compare notes.

God help the WW with Albus still in charge of Hogwarts for eternity.
excessivelyperky chapter 87 . 7/1
50 points to Gryffindor for Harry's excellent use of the word *celebrity*. Snicker.

Very good chapter, especially with Lily and Harry learning to know each other again; but Harry was right, even with Lily as a cat she could have been a great deal of comfort to her son. She knows that now, and will do all she can to be the mother that Harry needs *now*.
excessivelyperky chapter 86 . 6/27
Actually, Polyjuice would be a pretty good idea-yes, he'd be in a different body, but it would be a very much healthier one. (I have the idea that Polyjuice can be used in an emergency situation to change a wounded person into a better one and have enough time to take them to St. Mungo's...).

Excellent chapter. Evil cliffie.

Well done.
excessivelyperky chapter 85 . 6/21
Oh, very good chapter indeed. Lily and Severus can prop each other up while in battle, which I hope they both survive. But Snape is right, he must do something against Voldemort (and it would be helpful to be *seen* doing something against Voldemort, because we all know Dumbles never left anything behind to exonerate Snape). And Lily has spent so much time in hiding as well.

Salute to brave Harry (though it does seem that the shades of the Stone always try to urge you to die...).
excessivelyperky chapter 84 . 6/19
This is a very good review of the combined memories, adjusted for this AU.

And now Harry is ready to die.

(of course, if Snape had known Harry's scar was a Horcrux, something else might have been done, but hey, Dumbledore, Greater Good, etc. And if Dumbledore had just broken the Elder Wand and taken a quiet cup of poison, but no.).

It is so a wonderful Snily story!I can promise it is the best fic about Snily I have finished reading;)
Your book's strength lay in its depiction of the inner world of the for Lily and Severus are smooth and fine.I am fond of them so much.
Unfortunately,I can't log in.I hope I can read it more fluently and translate it into Chinese one day.:)
excessivelyperky chapter 83 . 6/10
Oh, good, she probably was in time after all. And Harry may not like those memories, but he'll be sure to pay attention to them, and learn how his mother survived all those years.

And he'll learn that he, too, is a Horcrux.
excessivelyperky chapter 82 . 6/5
Oh, I hope you haven't killed off Severus the way Rowling did...

But this was a very good chapter, and I hope Lily arrives there in time.

How nice of Dumbledore not to warn Snape about the Elder Wand...not. I wonder if Fiendfyre can finish off a Headmaster's portrait?
Guest chapter 92 . 6/3
Brilliant!...I've never seen Snape's character done this much justice ever!
excessivelyperky chapter 81 . 5/30
Very well done, still sorry that the Fiendfyre had to be in play to destroy so much. Hope Snape can survive what is to come.
excessivelyperky chapter 80 . 5/21
I know Lily can't make any other choice (though she'll have to be careful around Augusta Longbottom, or come up with a story about Perdita not being her mum); but I hope she's really careful as she's in the battle.
