Ahh, I'm sorry this is so late. Real life kept me offline for awhile around the holidays, and I'm very slowly trying to catch up with everything.
That said, this is great! I really like the turnabout of Draco using the same spell Severus had used on him after the incident in the loo, and that Severus seemed to know that something was going to happen to him, and literally trusted Draco with his life. I'm also really fond of bratty and egotistical Draco, and that you didn't make Severus too gentle with him. It was nice to see something inexperienced and rough around the edges, while still sweet (in their own very Slytherin way of course). Brava/bravo to you, mystery author.
