i wasn't going to read this. i wasn't. i mean snape and neville?!!! But this was *wonderful* I mean truly spectacular and i'm so glad that you wrote it, *finished it* and posted it. Thanks for all your hard work. Oh and the sex scene b/t Nev and Snape was PERFECT. One of the very best i've ever read. Perhaps i'm just learning to love subtlety in my old age, but really it was so hot.
