SENJY!!! I usually have very little love for Neville or for this particular pairing, BUT, this was wonderful in all manner of ways!! Firstly, how did you keep Snape so IC?? Good grief. I never would have thought it possible with this pairing, but it worked so well! I loved the use of magic, with the sword, and the ritual was sexy but also realistic. I loved that Snape had to work a bit to get himself hard for it. LOVED. And the beginning, Headmaster!Snape is so awesome, woooo! Loved this. A lot. :)
