Description A heartbreaking scene from Chapter 35 of Chasing the Sun fanfic by amazing Loten , who keeps magically turning my lunch-hour reading into such a delight! Awful quality, I know, it's just a sketch that I messed with in PS afterwords, but very emotional, nonetheless.

"...Severus?" she asked uncertainly, still not used to using his first name.

He looked at her, and she saw with surprise that his eyes were glistening. "I'm free," he whispered, his voice shaking slightly as he blinked rapidly once or twice. He glanced down at his arm again, then looked back at her and repeated hoarsely, "I'm finally free..." before hastily looking away and swiping at his eyes almost angrily as his hair fell across his face.

I would love to see the chunk of skin with the dark mark while its being removed, i know its gross in a way, but thats the point really, to see him being free of the mark itself, it's wonderful. and also the expression of each of their faces, including ron and harry of course, i would've been fantastic. anyway, i saw your drawing way before i had read the chapter itself, but after i read the chapter 35, i went looking again. great job!

Good God, woman, you have to own a Time-Turner. There is no other way you can draw so damned fast.

Anyway, lovely as always, and as usual will be pimped next update. Thank you, dear.

I was just thinking this too! holy crap!
I love the tinkering you did in PS though- the sort of grungy, dated "wallpaper" is just perfect.. totally what I would expect to find in Spinner's End.
I stared at the hand, by the way.. it took me a minute, but I think the thumb is backwards? should it be closest to the right border of the image? *scratching head* dunno.

I wish...
The secret is, that we're in different timezones, and you have an absolutely perfect timing when posting new chapters - I open my email right before lunch, and there's the notification Makes my meal so much better, really! So, if inspiration strikes (and it does often, with your stories), I just jot down whatever it is I imagined. I'm not particularly proud of this one (especially Hermione's left hand is quite hideous), but I think it does show the tender moment between the two... Maybe I'll make a cleaner version sometime

Man, you're quick on the draw! (No pun intended...) I loved this chapter... it made my day!

Thank you for looking! I think I might clean up this one at some point, since I loved the chapter as well, and this was more of an outburst than a drawing
