I believed we were in an AU for a while.

bluestocking79 September 16 2009, 04:30:20 UTC

Hee! Not quite the AU it appears to be, I'm afraid. I couldn't resist the twist.

Oooooh... I'm afraid I've lost my voice. What a splendid use of that title!

And what a beautiful twist from the jaunty beginning to the bittersweet but hopeful ending.

Wonderful, just wonderful.

Thank you very much! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this. When the challenge was posted, this bunny bit hard and wouldn't let go.

As for the title, I looked at the list of Bond films, and this one just leapt out at me. It just seemed so fitting for Severus' situation!

This was wonderful.. LOL at Nowa Tall. XD

bluestocking79 September 16 2009, 04:31:28 UTC

Thank you very much! I'm delighted that you approve of Miss Nowa Tall's name. *g* You have no idea how many other names I tried before the obvious struck me.

You really had me there. Nowa Tall indeed, lol. Loved this drabble set with its heady mix of humour and warmth.

You died for a bit, I'm afraid, but now you're back. For some reason, I just adored this line. It seems such a classic Hermione thing to say.

Thank you very much! Miss Tall is pleased that you approve of her name. *g*

I, on the other hand, am delighted you like that line and think it worthy of Hermione. She's just so... earnest, and yet practical and matter-of-fact to the point of being oblivious to other people's discomfort. Of course she would talk about his death as though it were no big thing, just a temporary condition, all fixed now.
