I'm reading a story rec'd on crack_van called "Beech Hall". You can find it at Inkstained Fingers. And it's a good story, so far.

But. In it, a character is suffering from long-term injuries - healing bones.

This is HP. Pomfrey can heal broken bones with a spell. She can regrow bones in a night. The character in question does not like being helpless or damaged, and the injuries are not embarrassing in nature, and is from Hogwarts.

The injuries allow for interesting interactions, but they don't make sense in the universe. It's a very good story, but that keeps tossing me out.

I've read this story many times, and like it, despite a few reservations.

The thing with the injuries didn't bug me, particularly. He's suffering the ill effects of *many* curses (captured by Death Eaters and nearly killed)in addition to the broken leg, which is all he admits to when Harry meets up with him. So I don't have a problem with him not being immediately up to snuff.

This author keeps getting better--I've enjoyed each story she's posted. "Quid Pro Quo" is my favorite thus far.

We all have things we will tolerate and things we won't.

Example - I don't care if the spider talks, wears bonnets or has tea-parties. She just better have eight legs.

If there's a reason Snape can't be healed completely, I want to know it. The rest of the story was lovely, though.
