ROFL! Absolutely brilliant. You have a way with words that mere mortals only achieve in their dreams. I loved the pairings (kinda liking Kingsley/Narcissa, that's HOT!) and that Severus should start by shooting himself in the foot is utterly marvelous. The deal with Hades is perfect, esp. that little difference between 6 months and 50% of the time. *vbg* I'm pretty sure that's PLENTY. ;) Wonderful wonderful work. Well done.
