BEST! GIFT! EVER! And I'm so late now for practice. So late, but it doesn't matter. There's no way I could have stopped reading this halfway through. It was absolutely perfect. Perfect!

I've been craving good detective/mystery stories -- I can never get enough, but there just aren't that many written. I want to kiss your feet right now. Not just for indulging my craving for the genre, but for making it hilarious and satisfying and titillating, and for fitting every single one of my kinks into this amazing story.

Harry's first person POV rocked! I started making note of all the wonderful lines, but filled a page in less than ten minutes. This was classic: When I die, presumably Snape will pass onto whomever I deem worthy. I plan on picking someone I really dislike. They'll love him.

And speaking of Snape...you nailed him. Dead on. *smirk* He was just perfect, and his and Harry's "relationship" made me grin over and over. I love a side of reluctantfriend!Snape with my H/D. He doesn't watch the porn, but he rearranges it! *dies*

There are just no words for how much I love this. No words. Malfoy made the perfect DI, but much of that was due, I'm sure, to your clever characterizations, sharp banter, and scene crafting. He and Harry really do make the perfect team.

I'll never forget "Not Malfoy" and "Real Malfoy" and accidental!bottom Harry. God, I could gush forever, and I plan to write a lengthy rec for this -- it's not to be missed.

Thank you so much, Secret Santa. It's very obvious how much time and energy you put into crafting this. Know that you couldn't have given me a better gift. Merry Christmas! ♥ ♥ ♥
