If At First You Don't Succeed

Thanks for reading! I thought Potiche a fitting film for these two characters (or, their canon counterparts, at least) to view together.

Me, too (obviously, I suppose)! Just because he was proficient at Potions doesn't mean he wanted to teach it. Thanks for reading.

Ask, and you shall receive! Hopefully, the next three or so will be worth a read.

Severus became accustomed to living a life filled with danger and intrigue; now wizarding society is safe, he feels he's got to have some way to keep his life lively. Although living with this Hermione should be more than enough, he finds littering his internal dialogue with prose bordering on the purple works wondrously.

Thank you! I've enjoyed writing them. 

I figure someone creative enough to improve potions and create his own spells as a teen would likely be able to handle himself in a kitchen. And since the way to my own stomach is through my stomach, cooking is a skill I value highly. Thank you for reading!

Thank you! *blushes* Now, don't go getting all starry-eyed; Snape is no prince (although I suppose he is a Prince), even after the visit, but, yeah, I like to imagine him with improved hygiene, at least. But AR is just too sexy, even with pallid skin and crooked, yellow teeth! Funny you should mention that... nah. Won't spoil.

Thank you!

LOL, yes. Dentists can be scary! Thank you.

I imagined that if anything were to truly frighten Severus Snape, it would be his witch's mother fiddling with his notoriously awful teeth. *shivers*Thank you for reading and enjoying!

Thank you!. 8^D

Then my work here is done! Thank you. 8^D

Thanks!

LOL, yes. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have changed "showed him to a dim room in the back. It was filled, from floor to ceiling, with products of a different sort: toys which were never meant for the hands, or eyes, of chidren" to "led him to a windowless room which was filled, floor to ceiling, with dolls of every shape and size imaginable to suit the purpose."Thanks for the read, the review and the "naughty girl"!

Thank you! Nothing like worrying you'll break something precious to inducing nerves.

Oh, such high praise! Thank you so much. (But, I hope the beginning, at least, had some potential for being naughty, as well.)

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm glad to have brightened your days a little, but sad to learn they needed brightening. Although we've reached the end of this series, I hope you have many more happy days in the future.

Though, I can't take credit for your husband's antics; I only report what I se— Oh, wait! That was my imagination, wasn’t it?

In that case, thank you so much for reading and commenting!

He does try! Even when it means going through extraordinary measures. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts throught this series.

Thanks! So glad this one managed to fit the bill.

I agree.  Thanks for reading! 8^D

Mmm! I like the idea, but am unable to draw. I'll leaving it to you to find an artist. Please have them deliver the finished work to my lj. Thank you for reading!

Wait your turn, Greedy Miss!  Actually, if I had two, I'd be willing to share. Alas, I have none, so we'll all have to do without, won't we? Thanks for reading.

Isn't this a case of the pot pointing out the kettle's flaws? Thanks for reading and reviewing; now back to writing!

Yes. Mum. :P

I've encountered several real life people who bore a striking resemblance to that "poor ticket girl." She (and they) got very little sympathy from me. Thanks for reading!
