what a sweet treat! I read this on the treadmill at the gym, and laughed out loud. do you suppose Blaise was helping move things along, or was he just hitting on Snape? I kinda got the feeling that he was helping Harry out.
The 'disaster' that percipitates the denoument was just hysterical... Here am I, all shell-shocked with them, poor boys, recently recovered from the war, and who wouldnt panic at the sound of an 'explosion'!!! And its Draco??? That was a masterful comic twist.
