ah, now I can lavish some appreciation on this little gem. I loved seeing more of SS and his mother, especially his rescuing her. So much of his past has been destroyed, this is heart warming, and reveals his gallantry.
Of course the same man fiendishly indulges in 'wand play', in class no less! Agh, the way he rolls his wand and knows (hopes!?) it touches Harry... hah! wicked and marvelous.
Hermione studying Cock Charms, LOL! you go, girl. and I liked your Ron... not totally hopeless and clueless. He gets over the gay Harry thing and goes right back to happily lusting for Hermione. Good boy!
So our ever-resourceful Harry sets things in motion to get what he wants. At last, Snape and Harry go camping, yay! but fail to fall easily into each other's arms.
Manissimus! OMG. agh! then of course, Harry gets revenge, gets his man, and we get the immortal line: ""In Merlin's name, Potter, what makes you suppose this is a fit state in which to meet my mother?" priceless.
So glad that SS and HP have better things to wish for. Thank you for a wonderful fic!
