I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the ending of this story, and yes, I agree with you on the point that Severus' negative reaction to that first kiss was a very snape-ish thing to do. I'm glad you liked Kreacher. I'm very proud of him myself. :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, my friend. Your kind comments never fail to make me smile. :D
