Wow. At first I thought I was about to laugh so much with the humour of the story: “He hit me with a Stinging Hex!” “You should be grateful I didn’t use Crucio.” “Now, now, Severus, there’s no need to start casting Unforgivables, the situation really isn’t that bad.” But wow, the theme was dark. So original and interesting, but that end gave the willies. I loved Severus, how he was so IC but I could sense how he was falling for Harry. I hope it was him and not the creatures... Thanks!
