I am amazed and enthralled with the Harry Potter universe, with the emphasis on Snape. HG/SS is my favorite ship (you have been warned). I like sci-fi ? Star Wars, Quantum Leap, Star Trek, and Ray Bradbury to name a few. Horror also catches my interest as in Stephen King. I am a married, mother of two teenagers, multiple pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, turtle), and I work way too many hours. The rest is window dressing and subject to change without notice. I am also on staff on a wonderful new site called Playwitch. Visit when you get a minute: WWW.Playwitch.net

I think this was one of the first HP fanfics I ever read. It's still awesome holiday fluff. :D
Wonderful! The build up of Snape's frustration without Hermione was perfect. This plot bunny works really well as a short story. If it were longer it would have lost some of the sweetness in anticipation. I am so glad to read something new from you! I am a bit behind in my emails so I just came across this cute ficlet and the great news about your husband. Wonderful to hear he is cancer free. Best wishes for the new year and the future in general :)
Ooohh.. nice holiday fluff.. definitely when you mentioned the scene of Hermione tied up in bed to LoTM's Frogs in the Winter... yippee!!!
Nice story.
Oh very cute !! Snape is snarky but playing hard to get does have it's effects !! Loved it !!
lol That is so very Snape. The girl and the book. I absolutely loved this story.
loved it! Great way to start the holiday.......I request more!!!
Nothing like giving him what he wants to make him see what he really wants.
Good to see you back writing again as well.
Oh, Pearle, you are truly a master! Albus still meddling from the beyond... I love it! Merry Christmas!
*gg*The girl and the book - That's definitely heaven for Severus Snape.And it's interesting to note the order of those two things...
well, we, the readers, certainly win. . . . I know I did!
I like this piece! I read it earlier today when I didn't have enough time to review, and came back tonight and had to reread the whole thing because I really enjoyed it the first time. :) I think you framed the story really well - starting with a startling (to SS) conversation and then following how he felt from then on, always connecting back to that original conversation in sometimes subtle ways. I like how you ended as well. Thanks for writing & sharing!!
" Severus smiled; for the first time ever, he was going to get the girl. And the book."
That was too funny to not comment on :)
Very nice.?
Exactly what I needed after this bah-humbug of a day. Thank you for posting it!
Yet another great story from Pearle! I was sad to see it end, well done.Lotsa Love,
Response from Pearle (Author of You Win)
I enjoyed this, you do tend to notice things after they're gone and it's amusing to see Severus becoming obcessed after getting what he thinks he wants.I do have one question though. You say Hermione is the new Charms Professor, but mention Flitwick as still being there. Is Flitwick suppose to be teaching something else now?Anyway, well done! :)-Ali
Response from Pearle (Author of You Win)
At the beginning, it stated that Hermione taught levels one through four. Flitwick still teaches the upper levels. It would seem Minerva decided the curriculum was lacking in the basics and now has Flitwick teaching dueling to the upper levels, as well. Since both he and Severus are Dueling Masters, they occasional perform exhibitions for the students. But since this information was not pertinent to the story, I decided not to include it in the original telling of the tale...*grin
And on a side not, I'm glad you like the story. A second one-shot will be up in a few days detailing what happened after the end of You Win since quite a few have asked for a continuation. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Response from Alinora (Reviewer)
Ah, I missed that! Thanks for clarifying. *grin*I look forward to reading the continuation!
WOW....that was a great story. I liked the part when she fell into his lap....and the tormenting comment she made to him about being tied up naked on his bed. nothing like a visual to torment the person you are attracted to.
W0W FANTASTIC
Oh, I love it! Too sweet. Perfect reading for the holidays!
Wonderful... I love it!.....Glad you are back to writing some...I missed you!
aaarrrggghhhh!! i love this! quite cute and sweet! great job hon!
Charming ... utterly charming. I love that he doesn't start to think of her until she's gone ... and then he can't stop thinking about her. How very Slytherin of her!I loved that the book comes second on his list of things to complete his happiness.
