SS and Those Pranking Marauders
Awww, thanks for the great review, dear! I think people probably saw the pairings list and said, "no, not going there." I'm very happy you liked it, though. I wanted to show how the whole world just dumps on Severus.
As for Pettigrew, I think Severus knows by now that he wouldn't be able to get away with a flat out hex at the ball. Nope, for a Slytherin, there would be other opportunities.
