I wish I could take full credit, but the truth is that my mind was pretty much stuck at "How on Earth can I make noxiaa's prompt work in a non-squicky way?" Because I'd been dying to write it from the moment the prompts came out, and I knew just who should cast the spell, and I crossed my fingers and toes that the mods would give the prompt to me, and then they did, and I was so happy, and then— And then I was completely flummoxed over how to get Hagrid of all people close enough to Snape to wave a wand. But after I got over that bit, my mind was where you might guess it was. :P

Then we should bow down to the gods who gave the mods such excellent insight. Looking forward to more!

Yay!!  And no worries about not understanding at this point: not even the characters understand what's happening to them.

That might be a very wise decision!

First time for everything.

Wow! Such high praise. Thank you! I hope the story will live up to it, :)You've described the Snape in this this story exactly. Just cut through his bullshit and found the core of his way of dealing with this "problem". :)

LOL! Honestly, your comments are at least as funny as the chapters try to be. Keep 'em coming!

Glad you enjoy them. It's to encourage you to write more.  (Has nothing to do with the fact that sarcasm is my first language, sometimes to my detriment.)

Heee! This review made me laugh almost as much as I did when I was writing the chapter! Thank you. :D

LOL!!!!  Naughty,

. "Madam Palmer and..." Heeeee! But you're right: even Snape has to bathe at some point.

Thanks!  (I am sorry for any indelible images that line might have created.)

Oh, no need to apologise. I was more thinking in the lines that if Snape finds out what Hermione was about to do, he could engorge his Mary Palm. The pictures in my mind are my own (un)doing - it'd be unfair to blame you :)(Tryly, Engorgement charms are the most sober explanation. So sober I did not come up with them myself.) :)

Oh, dear!!!  Someone should write that fic.  :D

1. Thank you. I wish I'd come up with all of it on my own, but the tiny Hermione was part of the prompt.2. That's a major the point of the story. There'd be no reason to read  further if I answered that now.3. Much of medicine is like detective work. When confronted with a condition of unknown cause, medical investigators will— Oh, never mind! You get the picture, no doubt. :)4. Thank you. It seemed to me that an ex-couple could have ways of communicating and understanding each other (more so if they had been good to and for each other) that outisders might miss, and I had these two use that to their advantage here.5. Ron is a favourite character of mine, and I loathe the level of hate he gets in the SS/HG corner of HP dandom.

He does, indeed. After all, when in need.... ;)

As if Snape didn't deserve whatever Hagrid might toss at him!  ;)
