Oh my gosh! There are so many lines in this that I love, and just the whole piece overall...... Normally I copy my favorite line as I read, but I couldn't this time because there were so many! First I copied this one, because it was absolutely hilarious:
Severus paused his knife in a mock-pensive gesture. "Let me think about it. Tempting, but ... no."
I mean seriously. I just adore the image. *grin* But then I kept reading and...gosh! I seriously love this dynamic of Harry and Severus' relationship. The whole scene in the shop was absolutely wonderful. Severus being so insecure, and thinking he'd probably lost Harry... The line about him never having smiled openly at him was heartwrenching! But of course Harry was there to love and defend him in the end. *happy sigh* Harry turning his wand on the idiot was great, as was his speech. And the cloak is five inches too short- ha! And I love the imagery of Severus leaning against the wall in the sunshine afterward, realizing that he really does have forever with Harry. Because they're perfect for one another, and Harry loves him. *sighs happily again*
Also I'm a sucker for things like the line "His Harry," so that one got me! And the jewelry store- excellent!! Because yes, those two need to get married post haste. *grin*
Oh, there were so many things I adored about this. I'm so happy now. There are so many things that I adore in fic all in the same scene! I don't even know what to do with that. *grin* Thank you so much for writing this awesome ficlet! I love it so much! *bounces*
Oh, and the line about the flobberworms having faces!! That was hilarious. *grin*
