Humor Parody Alternate Universe Potions Under Duress 12,346 Words 2 Chapters Complete
Hermione Granger Severus Snape

A SS/HG story of food, passion and surly house-elves. In which we take an immediate hard right turn off the beaten canon to Silly Alternative Universe Land. A pinch of parody. A dash of cliché. Toss in a few OC’s and stir well. Serve hot.

Jinxie

Lovely way to end the story!  Too funny that Winky and Darren are an item and I'm assuming his ghosted features was in reference to his getting back together with Winky.  Very entertaining, thanks for sharing!

This story is just too funny!  From Darren the diminutive dictator to Lucia, Hermione's new partner in crime the little subplot details keep twisting and making the story more entertaining.

I do feel for Darren unable to lie, he must have been grinding his teeth until they are smooth. I hope we will be seeing more of Lucia, she has had an interesting life.

A lovely story, with a delish ending.  I found it charming sweet and light a wonderful combination.

Response from starmom (Author of A Pinch of This, A Dash of That)

what a thoroughly delightful story! in addition your portrayal of the interactions between ss and hg, i liked winky's role, and i liked lucia, and that at the end, her portrait was in their restaurant.  also, i remembered a friend of mind once saying that the chef at my favorite restaurant must be a sorcerer, because no mere mortal could do that with tomatoes, and the thing about the restaurant not always being so easy to find reminded me of a place i ate at once in florence, italy, and when i tried to go back, i could never find it.  now i know why!  ; )  so i guess all that makes your story resonate with me even more!  so to summarize - LOVED IT!  thanks.

Response from starmom (Author of A Pinch of This, A Dash of That)

Thank you for such a thoughtful review!!  Yes, some meals are magical!!!I'm glad you found it so tasty!

what a promising beginning.  i love the idea that after everything is over, severus becomes a chef for crying out loud, and hermione decides to follow in his footsteps.  very entertaining premise and well written.

More, more, more!  What a wonderfully original start - it ran through my head overnight and I just had to tell you that I LOVE it.  This promises to be quite a show and I can hardly wait.  And please - tell us more about the friendship between Hermione and Lucia.  She needed a friend like that while she was in school!

I can hardly wait!

Great start! You have me wanting to wring Darren's little neck for Hermione. It should be interesting to see how he tries to stop her from trying to seduce Snape. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Very interesting, I can't wait to 'see the show'.

Response from starmom (Author of A Pinch of This, A Dash of That)

Yes, Hermione has it well in hand!

I believe Darren, the Diminutive Dictator is Napoleon Bonaparte reincarnate!
