*Applauds* Oh, this was fantastic! I'm not generally one for creature fics, but I loved your little tokala. And I'm always up for any fic set during the holidays. Flustered!Harry was too adorable and Snape was just plain sexy. No wonder Harry was always tongue-tied. I loved the plot, the glimpse into wizard culture and tradition, your characterization, and the omg!hot sex. Great job!
