sigh That has to be a rather poignant and sad moment for Severus, and the whole chain of events has to be quite poignantly sad for both him and Narcissa. I can see this as his reason for switching his allegiance to Dumbledore from Tom.
wicked smile Just a odd thought, what if, to hide her, Dumbledore put her up for adoption in the muggle world and she got adopted by a couple looking for another girl child the same age as theirs, a couple with the last name of Granger. Since neither Severus nor Narcissa, as depicted here, is stupid, you might end up with two smart Granger girls starting Hogwarts in 1991; wouldn't that upset a few folk.
