Prompt Author: of_anoesis Prompt: Quote prompt – unashamedly stolen from Barbara Cartland’s A Hazard of Hearts: “I loath you, you make me shudder!” “How exciting. I long to make you shudder.” Is Snape saying this? Is it being said to him? Are shudderings to be had? Has anyone else seen this film, or is it just me? Summary: Severus faces the most surprising turn of events at a Midwinter Ball. Notes: Heartfelt thanks to my beta.
