I'll be honest. I skipped right by it at first because of the pairing and the the forced-bonding, but then I read a rec on my flist that said how clever your use of the theme was, so I came by. I'm so glad I did.
My god, this was hilarious. And utterly brilliant. Filch being 'the wife' and reading romance novels, and Severus his snarky self and completely in denial. I also love Albus and not admitting his fuckup, and Irma's wonderful little cameo with the comment about Filius.
