What a fun premise! The Goblin snafu, the over eager Mary Jo and the Black cottage essentially hexing Harry were all entertaining, as were Harry's inner thoughts as Snape worked to save him. The sex was sizzling, and that's quite the delicious ritual you created. When Harry went looking for resolution but decided he didn't need it, though, I was bit thrown, I must admit. I do like stories that have things wrapped up, not necessarily tight but at least with some amount of closure. But at least this gives you a chance for a sequel, right? *g* I would love to see if Harry and Snape end up resolving things in a more satisfying way in the future. :)
