Is there something better than perfection? My first thought after reading was, 'who the fuck needs Lucius', so don't apologize. Absolute perfection. I loved the characterization, esp Severus. The best example is, "Ah... I see. I will amend my declaration to deep fondness, then." I liked how you incorporated the opposite of paranoid line. In this case, two out of three was perfect. Thank You! a million times.
