I left this comment over on LJ when IJ wasn't cooperating this morning, but I'm going to leave it here too!
I am sitting here with the biggest damn grin on my face, dear mystery author. I loved this to pieces!!! (And it's all mine....bwhahahahaha!) I do so love me a scheming Hermione and yours was terrific, and her cohort in crime was a fun choice! (Don't want to say and spoil for people who haven't read yet). Harry and Hermione's banter was just spot on.
Loved the theatrical dueling at the party, and soul magic FTW! What an interesting device that is! I love that idea, particularly with Hermione's explanation of it. It makes total sense for Harry and Severus. *nods* And Severus not believing Harry was sincere is just how I think him to be.
The sex was delicious. I need to follow this with a cold shower now. *fans self* You must have found some secret stash of my kinks somewhere, because you hit quite a few of my buttons. *hugs you* So you're goal of a smile and a blush on the cheeks was attained! *high fives you*
Thank you so much for my delicious story! I'm going to print it out and hug it. I do those sorts of silly things. :p
