Story Notes:
This story was written for the Dunderhead of Potions challenge, by Jan_AQ. I didn't intend to write it, originally, but the idea just stuck in my head. In my mind, it could really take place during any of the Christmas holidays during years 3, 5, or 6. Hope you enjoy it!

2. Chapter 2: Welcome to Snape's Quarters by ravenhaired88 [Reviews - 3] (4690 words)
Second chapter up already! Updates will likely slow down soon, I just have already had some parts written or planned out, and the idea just won't leave me alone! So I've spent a lot of time writing lately.
3. Chapter 3: Realizations by ravenhaired88 [Reviews - 9] (1912 words)
A slightly shorter chapter this time, but this seemed like a good stopping point. Christmas is next and I wanted to devote a full chapter to that.

8. Chapter 8: Epilogue by ravenhaired88 [Reviews - 20] (1204 words)
A very speedy update! This will be the last chapter in this story, unless someone convinces me to write a sequel or something. It is quite a bit shorter than I originally thought it would be, but it seemed cleaner this way. Hopefully you all agree! And thank you for all of the wonderful reviews throughout this story -- it's been a lot of fun!
