Yes! Not only did you take on this prompt, Mystery Author, but you made such wonderful use of it, too. I LOVE your Minerva and her keen eye -- she really is the perfect POV character for this story, just as sharp and perceptive as ever, but with a kind heart.
Some of my favourite bits:
- the teachers' betting game! *sniggers* - This was the kind of lovely work that Minerva loved to throw in Severus’s face. -- Hah! They do have a competitive relationship, don't they? - “You were practically— You might as well have ripped off his trousers and buggered him right there.” -- And Severus's response is brilliant. - Severus smiled at this, his lips turning up. “A shame,” he said. “I would have admired the effort.” -- Lol!
