A/N: Many, many thanks to the lovely kittylefish for stepping up to guide and help me whip this into shape for the equally lovely, and beloved akatnamedeaster, who has delighted me with such wonderful art and inspired me with a great exercise in stretching my writing boundaries. As I've said before, any mistakes remaining are mine and mine alone. A great many thanks to the mods of severus_snape for allowing me time to find a beta and make this the best offering I could. And, Happy Birthday, Severus!


(  During Sixth Year, Severus has to share a sickroom with Sirius sodding Black...and might not hate every second of it...and that's an awfully big might.  )
