Awesome, fabulous, wonderful fic. This is the kind of Snarry I dearly love. A conniving, mystery-shrouded Snape and a slightly clueless but determined to be loveable Harry. Seriously awesome stuff! And the pouncing! So HARRY! I love the set up, love the smattering of clues you left (I went back and reread just to see, and sure enough, they were there!), loved everything about it. Lucky, lucky Lyv. :D Excellent work, Santa!
