Severus called the rooms "theirs" without hesitation or self-correction. Progress! Yes!

As always, the Crooks x Sev duo is delightful, especially the little cat ("Half-Kneazle!") mannerisms and asides, like "lesser feline" being an oxymoron.

I'm glad that this chapter humanized the boys, while reinforcing why I strongly dislike Crabbe. I hope he finds some redemption, or, barring that, some neutralizing force to permanently reduce the threat he poses to others.
