She added his name—again—as if it was an afterthought. “Severus.” He liked his name on her lips. Not that it mattered.

Well done! I'm not sure I could write almost 900 words without commas. And there was actually a plot that was enjoyable to read! And characterization! Severus actually had character development! Well done indeed! (There! I managed to write this much without commas.)

Thank you for your kind words. Your lack of commas made me chuckle. :)) *pats the shinies*
K - wish I'd read this before I mentioned the challenge last night. This was not only a beautiful story, it was beautifully free of commas and the need for them. I'm very impressed! (Not to mention that you wouldn't have had to argue with those tough mods about them - LOL!!) I think I'm going to have to read through it again, this time NOT concentrating on the non-existence of commas. :)

Oh, drat! LOL! You do know that my huffy reply in chat last night was absolutely good-natured, right?It was certainly a challenge to write without using commas, but it was also a revelation how much we rely on the little blighters in our writing.Thank you for your kind words; they made my day! :D

I was just nervous that it had been your fic that I had read (definitely wasn't). I remembered there was one challenge with only one answering fic, and I was just hoping it wasn't the comma one!! Try writing without using 'e' - I've heard that challenge before, too. 
Response from karelia (Author of Not That it Mattered)
I might give that a miss. I can't even think of a reply here without using the letter 'e'...

Lovely story. So nice to see how he learns that it matters - a lot... :o) And nice to see Herminoe so independent and strong, too. They suit each other well.
