I love a plotting Luna drawing Severus into her plans, and I enjoyed reading about her other conspirators, as well. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I so love to see the way Luna manages to out-Slytherin Severus, who fails completely to realise just what his potential truly is.

I love that she knows him, whatever he looks or sounds like or tries not to be seen.

I love how he tells himself over and over that it's only his highly attuned investigative senses that make him notice how alluring she can be.

I love the idea of the three houses plotting together to overthrow the figureheads of the Ministry, if not the Ministry itself.

I could go on because I just love this whole fic from beginning to end. Brava.

Thank you so much! I'm very glad you love so much of the story.

heh-heh! I love that Severus never saw it coming, even with his investigator's senses. who needs a Befuddlement Draught or Confundus Charm when Luna can get the task done as easily as breathing. thanks for writing this!

Luna is definitely distracting all on her own! Thanks so much!

Hee. Snape as minister is such a wonderful idea, though the poor soul needs to brush up on his plotting skills if he's ever going to get anywhere with it.

I think he was blinded by the distracting Luna (and her ankles, and calves, and hair, and and... lol). I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! I really enjoyed reading about Snape's investigations (the part where he felt forced to flirt with Lavender Brown made me giggle, and so did the way Luna saw through his glamour), and I love the idea of Luna and the other three conspiring to set things right in the wizarding world. And the ending was just brilliant -- I liked the small dig at Harry, too. ;-)

Thanks for a great read!
