Fic: The Best Laid Plans
Title: The Best Laid Plans
Author: alisanne
Giftee: zephre
Word Count: 9300
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter, Albus Severus Potter/Scorpius Malfoy
Warnings: AU, student/student relationship.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: After all these years, Severus is determined to discover why Harry named his son the way he did.
Author's Notes: Zephre, you requested UST, post-Epilogue and the inclusion of Teddy or James as mischievous matchmakers. I tried, but Albus Severus insisted that that was his role, and who am I to argue? I hope you enjoy this. Many thanks to my beta readers, S and E, as well as to someone for his technical assistance. Thanks also to our amazing fest mods! *hugs them*

	Love this! I just adore it when the kids want to try to set up their parents. Al makes a perfect Slytherin. I did like the detail of the graphics for the notes-that's really cool! And yay for a little AS/S on the side. Well done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What an enjoyable story. Al trying to set up Harry and Snape was funny, and your portrayal of James was good. I was a little squicked by the Al/Scorpius because they're only 11 and sometimes they seemed a little too old for their age, but overall, I did like the story. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I loved that first meeting! And "Wishing you an uneventful year" in McGonagall's letter completely cracked me up. (Glad to see she got her Order of Merlin, too :) It was cool to see that McGonagall ended up as headmistress and that Severus got to be the DADA professor as well as Head of House. Since he chose it, I'm sure it's your Severus's dream job! All the kids seemed a bit mature for their ages, though - it felt like you'd aged them all up a bit, which was a little odd. Yay for Severus and Harry figuring it out on their own! And I liked your epilogue at King's Cross. Thanks!

	I thought this fic's character's personalities were nicely done - Harry & Severus had matured, the kids were children, maybe just a bit advanced for their age - The plot development was perfect for its length, it flowed really well - and your ending was much better than JKR's!!

	Totally charming! I loved your Albus-Severus and your James was a delightful surprise. (It always makes me sad when he turns out to be like James P. sr. in fanfic...) Not 100% sure I could see a Malfoy slapping his friend on the back, but maybe I just can't get the Malfoys Sr. out of my head. Did love your Scorp. Lovely premise, nice execution. Great story. Thanks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Awwww. This fic is so sweet! I love that Al was upset that he didn't get to be the one to get them together. I also love that James wasn't a total prat. Harry and Severus dancing around each other for months was great. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Fun story! Al's plotting was great, but Scorpius got the prize in that! And of course - the Snarry! Ahhhhh (Reply to this) (Thread)

	oh, I must claim holiday craziness for not seeing this earlier, but yay! I <3 Albus Severus, so I'm sure it will be awesome. I will run back to read it today! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eeee, I love it! This was just the perfect ending for a long weekend of holiday craziness. :D Al is so adorable, and Scorpius so patient. I loved the way Harry & Severus got together, especially Albus's portrait. Thank you, mystery author! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This was a lot of lovely fun. Al and his scheming were brilliant, especially when he was so disappointed that they got together without him. Except that they didn't quite, because the only thing they needed was his first step--handing Severus that letter. And, really, I'm glad that Severus and Harry did the legwork to get themselves together. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I like matchmaking-Al, especially his disappointment when they beat him to it, so to speak. Great story, mystery author! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This was very enjoyable. I liked all the characters and their interaction a lot. Severus and Al’s conversations were particularly entertaining, and it was nice to see how both Al and the ”meddlesome canvas” helped by giving Severus the small nudges he needed to contact Harry.

	OMG yay! Delightful story! This is really wonderful, my favorite of the day, for sure, and in the top tiers of this fest for my taste. The snarry is fun, and side of Al/Scorp is really sweet! Neat name for the wine, too. memories (Reply to this) (Thread)
