Ahahahaha! That was wonderful! *g* The way Hermione (and Snape) managed to manipulate Harry into the auction was perfect. I loved sexy!Charlie being ogled by Severus (and that it upset Harry *g*) and, as others have said, all the little details were delightful. Aunt Viola is a HOOT. Such a smart old lady. Thank you for this. It made a bad morning better. :) Well done!
