Post Script
I'd like to thank all my kind readers for spending their time on my story.
Clarifications and Expansions
The story sprang from my hope that Snape will turn out to be good.
Harry's need to escape Voldemort and the Ministry.
Chloe is supposed to be the human version of Hedwig, insightful, innocent and all seeing.
Harry needed the time at Ashford house to transfer his powers undetected.
Lada (Russian word for love) is one-dimensional because she is all looks. Voldemort's irresistible arm candy.
Someday I might beef up my rather thin chapters but for now I'm glad to the finished.
Thank you again.
