Oh, wow! I love Snape kicking Dumb's ass (and I love this fic 'cause makes clear WHY there's this word in his name -che!-), but… poor Sirius! Can't Madame Pomfrey just dissolve his bones (Lockart style) an regrow them with Skelegrow? Can't Harry have an "eureka!" moment and suggest it? I don't like very much the idea of a Paddy twisted like a root and limping… ò.ò pretty please?
