A Braver Woman
Chapter 8 of 12
morgaine_dulacA Potions master returning home for summer and a pleasant distraction.
Reviewed‘You don’t have a phone.’
‘No, I don’t.’
‘You’ve given up on your walks.’
‘I haven’t.’
‘You’re avoiding the playground then.’
‘Yes.’
‘And the pub.’
‘Yes.’
Severus found himself having lost every trace of eloquence he had ever possessed as Cat stared him down with her grey eyes.
‘Look, if this is about last Saturday, um, …’ She broke off, cleared her throat, and Severus detected a slight blush on her cheeks. ‘I felt it, too. I don’t know if it was due to the wine or …’
She took a step towards him.
‘I could have eaten you up that night.’

She was standing uncomfortably close to him. Behind her the rain was pouring down, making a deafening noise as it hit the pavement. There was thunder in the air, but Severus barely noticed. Instead, he could hear his own heartbeat, and hers. He felt her breath tickle his cheek, his lips. He was unable to break eye contact, was drowning in her icy pools, couldn’t breathe.
As she put her hand on his chest and kissed him, he was so surprised that he stumbled backwards. Quickly, Cat closed the distance between them and kicked the door shut with her boot.

Oh, my! I was not expecting this to be a story with an OC. You infused Cat with personality enough to match everything we already know about Severus Snape. They were such a good match. A wonderful little interlude.
All the best to dear old Severus for his next summer fling!

We'll see what I can do. :)
Thank you for a great story, I am always happy when Severus is happy:-)

And thank YOU for reading and enjoying the story. It was good fun to write, and I am quite surprised how it worked out.
Nicely done Severus! Love, love this story can't wait for the next update.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Shouldn't be long until the next chapter. Glad you're enjoying the story! :-)
I love to see Severus a little off kilter. I am glad she is having that effect on him and I look forward to seeing where this goes.

Sent the continuation to my beta last night. Shouldn't be long.
Cute and sweet.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
This was inspired by my morning walk to the train station, when a group of kindergarteners called out for me. What comes after that is, however, pure fiction.
Lovely little bits about our Potions Master. Can't wait to find out more.

Well I’m looking forward to her return from Greece. Hint hint!
How can a girl resist a bottle of elf made wine offered by Severus Snape?
I haven’t read any fan fiction in a very long time so it was nice to wander on here and find a lovely story by Ms Dulac waiting for me. I like where this is going.
lovely to meet a new story, it has been a while since I found this site, nice surprise. was thinking the other day about the time when muffliato was young and I was checking every day if there were new stories, and you was writing so wonderful stories. Nice meeting you again, love Leni
Very sweet and very sexy, thank you!

Go for him, Cat!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
I wish I had her courage!
I have wine, I have a garden, where's Severus?
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
I also have wine and a garden. I am starting to wonder if he is avoiding those things.
Oh yes, Lucius is dead useful sometimes. Thank you for this new story!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Can't help myself. I just HAVE to write in Lucius somewhere in every story. He's like an easter egg. ;-)
love the story!!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
I'm so glad you're enjoying this! :-) Next chapter will be up in a couple of minutes.
As always a very entertaining chapter. Already looking towards the next.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Finished writing the story today. You're in for some treats. :-) Glad you're enjoying the story.
It's wonderful to see something new from you, thank you! It is a shame that Severus can't walk by my workplace ...
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Huiiii! I've been missed. That's good for my ego, haha! I'm almost glad he can't walk past my workplace. i'm normally in a pissy mood when I'm there.

Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Glad to be back! I have a feeling that I'll have laods of fun with those drabbles over the next couple of weeks.
Nice to have you back :)
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Nice to be back! :)
I love this lady already! Thanks so much. X
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
Still trying to figure out what to call her. :-) Thanks for reading (twice) and leaving a review.
This woman is a daredevil, I must say.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of A Summer Fling)
She has no sense of self-preservation whatsoever. Haha! Then again, she doesn'tknow dear Severus yet.
