A response to the Potter_Place Fall prompt challenge: #22. The Weasley twins come across Snape shopping for Potions ingredients. A commotion causes Snape to become distracted, and the twins promptly take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity to slip Snape one of their "experimental" products.

I'm a thirtysomething who is taking a hiatus from full-time web development to stay at home with my kid. I still do a bit of contract and/or volunteer web work, as well as other volunteer work. I do a bit of community theater (musicals, I'm not much for straight plays) as well. HGSS is my favorite ship.

Thank you for this story. It's been enjoyable to read.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
You're quite welcome - I'm glad you liked it.
I'd love to get my hands on some of that special talc, *hee*! Lovers' hotness w/Severus & Hermione, not to mention Weasel-stupidity. good thing Susan's adept at knockinng sense into that dimwit.
I'm a sucker for romantic and traditional, heartfelt, proposals. Yes, Yes, Yes!! I can't wait for your next update, since I'm itching to read how the twins are coping w/the 'sabotage.'
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
I think I'd make a mint if I could develop that powder, don't you agree?
The next (and final) chapter was posted today. I hope you enjoy it as much as you've been enjoying the rest of the story!
Yay! I am so happy that things are working out--which begs the question, what's going to go wrong? Great job, I look forward to more.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
As you'll see in my author's notes for chapter 10 (posted today), this was meant to be a light romance, so there isn't much to go wrong, to be honest! But there are some details to wrap up. I'm glad you're enjoying my story!
Sigh...very nice. Severus joining Hermione in the conversation with Ron and Susan showed so much love even before the beautiful proposal. I just have a question...will the Pygmy Puffs resulting from the fertility potion have bushier-than-normal fur and surly tempers? It would be funny to see Fred and George surrounded by thousands of Hermione/Severus-like creatures.....
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
*snicker*
I admit, surly, bushier-than-usual Pygmy Puffs didn't occur to me. So I can't say that they are.
I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter!
What a beautiful proposal! His words were soooo lovely!And after the HAWT HAWT sex at the beginning?!?!? WOOHOO!!!! The explosion of Ron was actually pretty funny since Susan was there. She seems to handle him pretty well. Good girl.Just a gorgeous chapter. I'm more than ready for the next (and yes, maybe a little sad to see it's the last. but that will just mean I'll be back lots to reread and jump back into this world again and again.)
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Thank you so very much for your lovely words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
(and pssst....the last chapter was just posted!)
Ah! What a lovely scene... a diamond solitaire too! The man has taste. Way to go, Sev! teehee!Looking forward to the next (and final?) chapter... have the Puffskein population exploded yet? lmao.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
No hints about the Pygmy Puffs here. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've always thought that Severus would go to great lengths to cultivate good taste when he could afford it - as a reaction to the experience(s) he had as a student.
Ahhh, I do particularly enjoy this fic. Thank you for the update!
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
You're quite welcome! I'm glad you like it.
Yay, an update! *waves torch enthusiastically for more*~Lotm
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
*winces at how long it's been*
It's in the queue now. Finally...
*waves torch just for fun*
Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)
I'll join you!~Lotm
What an adorably cute chapter. I love the Trouble with Tribble idea! It was my favorite Star Trek episode. But now I can't wait until you post the conclusion to the 'detention' and see where you take this next!
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it.
the Trek reference (snape watches telly, *hee*!) is a dead giveaway as to what you're going to have Severus and Hermione do to get even with the Twins. . . . I love it.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Of course it is - but I hope it doesn't make it less fun!
Fun story and nice twists! I really love your portrayal of Hermione in this story. I think you have even been true to Severus which is nice.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Thanks!
I grew up in a home with a Star-Trek obsessed father and was instantly groaning, "Oh no, The Trouble with Tribbles!" LOL. We now live six hours away from each other and although we talk regularly it's never quite the same for this particular "Daddy's girl". Thanks so much for the laughs and the flash of fond memories.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
I knew it would be obvious to anyone who would understand, but I am hoping that the obviousness won't make it any less fun and enjoyable. I'm glad I could give you laughs and reminders of fond memories!
And now the fun begins, lol. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great chapter. You really felt them connecting here. Its just super. I can't wait to see how this all plays out. Please update soon :-)
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.
*wincing at how long it's been since then*
The next chapter will be up very shortly - I'm working on edits from the mods!
I just finished reading every chapter that you have posted thus far, and I have come to the conclusion that you rock! I really love this fic so far, and I can hardly wait for more.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Thank you so very much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The next chapter has taken me a little longer to polish than I wanted, but it is finally off to my beta reader.
I really liked this chapter. It's great to see how things are progressing between Severus and Hermione though I hope he won't go all soft now. And I look forward to see how they come up with ideas for their revenge on the Weasley twins *hopes for an update soon and sends chocolate frogs*
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
I'm a little slower than I wanted to be, but the next chapter is now being beta read. And no, I don't want him to go totally soft - except maybe a bit for Hermione. So glad you liked it!
*gobbles chocolate frogs*
Finaly! Another chapter! I've been hanging out for it...
I'm really enjoying this story. So much so that I haven't read any other stories since starting to read this, because I don't want to forget what's been going on when I read the latest chapter!
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
I'm very flattered! Thank you. I'm so glad you like it. The next chapter is with my beta and I'm looking forward to getting it posted.
Isn't Ron too much?? Nice touch, Snape and the head massage... I wonder what's next for them?
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Ron has many good points - somewhere. And who can resist a massage from our Potions master?
Interesting concept... I wonder how the twins were planning to follow-up with their unwitting test subject and what Hermione will be able to do?
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Who said they had a plan? :)
Looking forward to seeing how they pull this off. More soon please.
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
It'll be up as soon as I can get it polished.
Another good chapter. I'm enjoying their new friendship very much and can't wait for the pests, I mean twins, to get their just desserts. :)
Response from TempestOfDreams (Author of A Potionful of Trouble)
Thanks, Southern! I admit, I always wanted to bop the twins upside their heads, so I suppose this story is my way of trying to do so figuratively. :)
