Summary: He went into the bookstore looking for a good read, but found a bushy-haired ex-student. She opened the bookstore looking to heal her broken heart, but her old teacher reopens the wounds. And when Flourish and Blotts gets a new owner, business in Diagon Alley is about to get nasty.

This story is actually founded on quite a unique concept, so it blends the traditional 'H/R disintegrates, Severus is there for some banter, eventually friendship, eventually romance' plot line with a new setting (a bookshop full of books that appeal to Snape's dangerous and exotic tastes) and a new 'business competition' plot. I find that the language is a little terse and underdeveloped in places (that is, I'd have wanted more detail/dialogue/inner monologue/etc.), and I'm also not entirely sure what happened to Ashwinder's submissions standards (several paragraphing and dash errors...), but all in all I think this will be a fun read! I'll give it an 8.5 out of 10 so far.
