Oh, the last paragraph gets me going everytime I read it!!! Such a great chapter - I love the details on Snape's machinations for the two Marauders, and hearing about the continued torment of the Dursley's. The scene at breakfast was priceless - and I really like how Hootch is still irritated at Severus and is still showing it!! I hope, hope, hope we get a chance to see a meeting of the Inter-House Friendship and Holiday Decorating Committee!
Author's Response: So glad you like the chapter! And yes, the Hooch-Snape interactions are a total blast to write!! :)
