Winner in Round Six of the Multifaceted Awards in the categories Endurance and Rapture. In the wake of the Final Battle, the Order has opened Headquarters to house its youngest members during a summer of Ministry-sponsored social events. With Snape as a chaperone, and engaged to another woman, the advent of a busy Hermione, determined to see her friends in love-matches, can only be a recipe for disaster.

Reviews for His Draught of Delicate Poison
Wow! I'm not normally in to Marriage Law fics but this one seems really interesting. I can't wait to see where this leads. I almost feel sorry for Severus to be honest. Anyways loved it and can't wait to read the rest :)
I haven't checked yet. Is this in the Top Ten? It should be; it's definately one of the best fanfics ever!!
I just adored reading His Draught of Delicate Poison! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing. I would be off to read more of your stories but it is late here so I must be off to bed. I can't wait to start reading more from you tomorrow!

I loved the Chance the Gardner reference. It was so unexpected.
Amazing
Wonderful and perfect! I finally finshed (and it only took me 2 days), and it was great. I did frown slightly at the brady bunch names of her parents (and "Douglas Howser"), but over all I simply cannot complain, as the story itself was wonderful! LMAO@ the door knob from Fleur:P
Awww! Perfect! Thank you for not making Severus become an emotional wreck, completely stripping him so far out of character that I would not even recognize him! Perfect perfect PERFECT!
Yay for Tonks and Remus!!! W00T!!! About time too, as poor Tonks has just been miserable without him. Well done on this chapter! I was beginning to wonder if the Pygmy puff thought the slippers were real...lol
LMMFAO @ Keladry's note!!! Personally, I think it's gonna take the jaws of life to get Fleur off of Severus. I do completely agree that THIS Fleur and Percy would be PERFECT for each other though. Percy has always been a bit on the nauseating side to me. BTW, I read the bit about Sirius and Sophronia with my eyes closed. It is breaking my heart to see my Sirius with anyone other than myself or Hermione :(
Someone probably already said this, but Tonks was in Hufflepuff, not Gryffindor.FINALLY Severus has seen the light! If it had taken any longer, I might have just smacked him myself!!!!

Yes, but when this story was written, in 2005-2006, we hadn't been told about which House Tonks was in.This Severus deserves smacking!

Didn't I distinctly say not to kill anyone? Yes, I am well aware that you wrote this long before my reviews, thank you very much! That is BESIDE the point !!! After my comments about Lucius, I should have known it was too good to last:( And this is totally gonna mess up the relationship with Sirius.... wait a minute..... Ok, you're forgiven!
Response from Subversa (Author of His Draught of Delicate Poison)
Shiv5468 still has not forgiven me for having Lucius die; she still brings it up at least once a year! ;)I'm enjoying your reviews, my dear.

I'm glad Lucius turned out to be a good guy. I should have said that ages ago, but it became really apparent to me when Severus called for him to stop by. I loved their banter back and forth! This Alverard is starting to tick me off. Sick psycho that he is, I can't wait for him to get it. I just hope you aren't a closet sadist, planning to kill anyone :(
I don't think I would have been able to review this chapter if you had ended it with "now we wait". I have to admit that it tears my heart out to read about Sirius with ANYONE that isn't me, but I love the way he is written, and the generosity he displays without a second thought. GOD I LOVE THAT MAN!!! *sigh* I would love to playfully say "Don't tell my husband", but HE KNOWS!Anyway, I also wanted to comment on Severus' behavior in this chapter, for me, was very spot on. I have imagined him in several instances as being one to work tirelessly, without ceasing when it comes to something like this, as important I mean. (Did I mention that I love this story dearly?)
:( Poor baby girl:( I certainly hope that Severus sorts her out, and QUICKLY!! Would love to write more, but I gotta know...
I am extremely sorry to hear about your dear Slytherin!!! I have no idea how long ago this was written, but my heart and prayers go out to you all the same. I certainly hope that all is well now, and that he recovered quickly!~~~~~LOVED the insert about Antony and Cleopatra!! The voice... oh yes... many times have I thought about that voice in my wildest dreams and fantasies... *sigh*
Oh my... best line... EVER UTTERED in a HP FAN FIC:“It appears that some members of the Snape family do not care to have you enter their bedrooms uninvited.”BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Hermione 1 Fleur 0Absolutely beautiful moment. Perfectly set up... I have laughed so much reading this fic!
Last chapter I was gonna gripe about how many holes I saw where Snape could be caught, but I am proud of me. I held my tongue and gave you time to address them, and address them you did. I am gobsmacked! LMAO no, not really. Just had to throw that in there. Well done:) Lots of people get annoyed with the description of smells, and all I can say to those people is that it comes with ...age? I dunno. I notice it too though. If you completely blind folded me and put 20 men in a room, I could sniff out my husband...lmao. Yea, a lil weird. Sorry, its like 2 in the afternoon and I've been up all night, but still, I had to make that point. I have always imagined that Sirius would probably smell a lot like my hubby does... that lovely, distinctly male scent. *sigh*Anyway, that was all completely besides the point. Great story, and wonderful descriptions. The Sleeve potion was a first... I like that. Unique spells and potions that don't have 16 word names in a language I don't know. Well done;)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Ok, so obviously it has to get better now, but still... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! lol You are doing very well with Snape and his persona, which is not something I can say for many people. Actually, almost all of the characters are fairly close to what I would expect them to be. Did I already mention I love this story? Probably.
Oh I sincerely hope he kills her now, right there in all her skankiness. Most memorable line of the chapter: “If I were interested in this type of behaviour, madam, I could purchase it in Knockturn Alley.”BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA It could not have been more perfect, nor more well said. I absolutely love this!
UUGGHH I HATE that little right now!!! Smart move on Luna's part of course, she is always brilliant. I wonder what Draco would do if he could get his hands on the little !!!Oh, and all I can say is OMG @ Sirius taking Lucius' woman... that is NOT gonna be a pretty fight!
When I read "Smooth Operator", I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard... beautiful! To be honest, I wanted to comment on this story long before now, back when I read the bit about Lucius' comments to Fleur (I was in TEARS), but I got so engrossed in the story, I totally forgot. *SQUEEEEE* I'm so excited at how much farther I have to go! Did I mention that I am totally loving this story? No? Well guess what... I AM TOTALLY LOVING THIS STORY! LOL
This is a lovely story, it remains on my top 3 list of Potter fanfic. Thanks for writing it (and your Master of Enchantment series).
Okay, I have to say this is my absolute favorite chapter I just love the scene when Severus barfs on Fleur. It is just so PERFECT! It is probably the best that she has ever looked! Irish
Response from Subversa (Author of His Draught of Delicate Poison)
You're a wicked, evil girl, Irish. :D That was one of my faves, as well.
Response from irishredlass (Reviewer)
Ahh but honestly I am an angel. My halo is held up by my horns!
Glad they didn't end up buying Stormy a new pet...kids almost always notice the difference.
Loved the staged scene between Draco and Pansy, to get her parents to see Neville in a good light. And how Luna came prepared with the bruise paste, and just calmly healed him after Draco did his part.
