eeeeeeeeeeexcellent story, love it, love it. I could write a more extended review but all I could say its already written.MAGNIFICENT

This is wonderful. You capture Filch's voice perfectly and I loved both reading this from his perspective and the rich backstory you've given him.

Argus is a trooper. :)

That's some grandstand seat the castle has provided for Argus! :(

Loving Filch as the POV character.  He never gets enough of the spotlight. :)

This was a real pleasure, Kelly. I like the way the narrative language mimicked Filch's own grammar and turns of phrase, though it was in third person. You've given Filch such a rich past history, which made him what he is. Thanks for sharing.

" Severus were a man that made people feel things -- strong things, dark things, needy things" I have never seen Severus described better.

Pumblechook, the great and glorious, bless you for that. 

This was beautiful. I'm sorry I can't make a more coherent statement, but I loved every line and savoured every word. Thank you!

"Severus were a man what made people feel things -- strong things, dark things, needy things. The Headmistress weren't the first person to want him. To want to understand him or save him or join in his righteous darkness. To want to share the power of him. To have him want them."Oh, that is pure, distilled Severus Snape. And it's perfect that of all people, Argus is the one to see that in him. Brava, Kelly. You have done it again!

That's a very intriguing start. I love reading this from Argus' point of view - it makes so much sense that he would know everything that is going on at the school.

Nice characterisation of Filch here and a very intriguing start!  

I am so glad this was rec'd on LJ. i would never have searched for it otherwise, and would have missed out on a great fic.  Your characterisation of Filch is so very rich and believable.
