Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I really feel like especially between Severus and Minerva that last year would have been so magnificently painful and I always wonder how both of them felt about it. This scene really wrote itself, just flowed out of me as I imagined how Minerva would feel once she knew, and perhaps, she might have been the one person Severus would have regretted not being able to make amends with in life.
