Ta muchly. The story need a little sting in the tail! Cheers.

Thanks for your review and warm wishes. Yes, I agree with you and imagine that Severus and Hermione are not going to let 'the boys' off unscathed (and wouldn't that be fun to see!) That is, after they deal with their physical reactions to the visually appealling aspects of the costumes...(I smell lenons!)As for more writing...there are more stories, but I need to feel 100% comfortable with the finished product before sending them off. Plus they are not all as light and fluffy nor did all come this wonderfully easy. It was like I had two small figures on my shoulder - One in black and the other with a mop of curly hair... But I thank you for your encouragement. Cheers.

So would I my dear, so would I.Cheers and thanks for reviewing.

Thanks so much for your review. That last line certainly did have a bit of bite (He He!). Cheers.

I am sure unless Snape was Imperioused or dead he would give as good as he got...even in love I can't see him being a push-over!Thanks for taking the time to review. Cheers.

I must admit I had never even thought about the whole nipples or no nipples question...but after reviewing photos to evaluate which I would decide on and taking Draco's sense of humour into account, the verdict is...the nipples are IN!Perverted thoughts eh? Thank goodness that we don't have the thought police!As for more stories - I have quite a few but they are all at various stages of the creative process... and I don't think I have one that is as light and witty. Wait...I do, but it is very early stage, it is a blatant ripoff of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The rest are stories that have a fair bit of angst and some have lemons, but I do try to inject some of Severus'  (and Hermione's)sarcastic wit into each story.  I hope that my next stories will live up to your expectations.Cheers and thanks for reviewing.

Hmmm. I fully intended it as a one-shot, but I suppose if the muse blesses me you may get your wish ;-)The last line I really should have credited to a girl I went to school with (Deborah) who used to say "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me." I just couldn't see Severus in this instance saying that though - I think it would have reminded him too much of a Revel. However I wanted something a little risque, and well the leather idea seemed to fit- a very good fit really!Cheers and thanks for reviewing.

He He! ROFL! when I opened your review. Unfortunately I am rapidly becoming addicted to reviews...especially like this one. I may have to write more. *wiggles eyebrows* Thanks so much. Cheers.

Thanks for your kind comments. The plot bunny just came to me out of the blue. I really enjoyed writing the original draft (sarcasm is such fun to write). I 'dips me lid' to my betas for their assistance - I thought my punctuation wasn't that bad.*Voice from over my shoulder* "Really? You believed that? It seems you are even more insightless than I thought you were..." *Turns head to glare at a minature smirking Severus on my shoulder* (Ha! I wish!).Thank you also for taking the time to review. Cheers.

Aw thanks. It is such a buzz to hear I have brought a smile to someone's face. Also thanks for taking the time to review. Cheers.

Thanks muchly for your brief but concise review from over the Tasman. I'm glad I can give people a little lift in their day. Cheers.

Hmmm. Interesting premise...*kicks plot bunny away from ankle*. I sort of imagine Harry being somewhat nervous of their response and Draco having a hint of a smirk on his face.Thanks for your review.

Thank you for taking the time to review and *He He* my first little emoticon - Wow! Yes you were correct regarding the inspiration.  Cheers.

Thankyou so much! Wow! This is the first story that I have posted ever on any site and yours is the first review I have ever got.  So I am excited as...Searching for the correct analogy or superlative here...um the Crookshanks that got the mouse!*Silly grin on face from ear to ear*. Seriously, thankyou for taking the time to review.

You're most welcome.

Thanks for your review. Cheers.
