Dammit. I hate that this is just a one shot. I would love to be a voyeur at the Jamaican restaurant. I think this needs a revisit please 

This was a thoroughly delightful read. I loved your young, snarky, immature Severus, hoping to embarrass Dumbledore with the book about goats, cleaning his boots in the living room and setting out tea he knew Minerva disliked. His assumption that she didn't have anything she'd rather do than attend a meeting, and his disbelief that she could be reading anything other than transfiguration reminded me of students who seem to believe teachers have an 'off' switch and are stored in the cupboard overnight. His attempt to embarrass her about her sex life (and his assumption that she doesn't have one) strengthen that impression.


I loved the way Minerva handled him too -- letting him stew, putting up her feet and reading her book, making tea and refusing to let him get away with his petulance. Really though, Hieland Wizard, Hieland Warrior, Hieland Lover? That's absolutely hilarious. Then the conversation gets serious, and they are really able to discuss deatheaters, and his past, and how it all affected her personally, and it really felt like they were able to connect and begin to forge the beginning of a friendship.


I loved the ending too, with Minerva taking Dumbledore to task about leaving her alone with Snape, and Filius arriving with a splash!

I really like your prickly, slightly careful of his dignity, but still awkward young Severus!

Wonderful! I particularly loved how young and almost *adolescent* Snape behaved!

Nicely done! I enjoyed seeing Severus sparing with Minerva and loved that he decided to go to the Jamaican restaurant with the others.Beth
