Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OMG, so much love for this fic! Huvvell and Shacque! Llamedos! Discworld references are love! Animate house! Luna seeming reasonable! Severus hiding in the shed! Sunny baby's room of love and warmth!

I love my gift! I love you for writing it! *is full of love*

And the nod to my cuddling prompt at the end? *cackles*

Oh, "Anonymous," this is perfect. I've been wanting to read a response to this particular prompt for ages, and yours is nothing short of magical. *♥'s*

Re: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm really, really pleased that you liked this, my dear. It was really the art prompt (even more than the house prompt) that gave me the idea for the story because, yes, I think Severus would need a bit of instruction before he was ready to be a daddy. :)

Thank you for running an excellent fest!

[insaneformality]

This was delightful. I liked the Severus/Luna relationship, and my favorite part was maybe the scene with Arthur because the image of two of them just sitting together and talking was great. I loved that eleven months later at the end, and Luna's I'm fairly sure babies don't work that way was wonderful. An enjoyable and well written story!

[bethbethbeth]

Oh thank you! I'm so glad you liked the Snape and Arthur scene (Arthur has always seemed to be the most easy going where Snape is concerned, apart from maybe Kingsley, so...)

...a dunderhead who was so jealous of the time his wife spent with their house that he ran off and hid in the garden shed."

"You came out of the shed."

"Eventually," he muttered.

"Eventually," Luna agreed.

Love this!! She handles Severus so well. And the house seems to have the measure of him too.

[bethbethbeth]

I'm so glad you liked this (and especially pleased that Luna's partnership with the house worked *g*)

[snegurochka_lee]

Aw, that was lovely! Snape's frumpy voice throughout was so entertaining. Luna does indeed seem like the only woman in HP who might be able to put up with him. :))

[bethbethbeth]

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you liked the story (that it wasn't too cutesy for you *g*), and yes...Luna is likely to be one of the very few who could deal with Snape without too much comprising on her part.

[bethbethbeth]

Oh thank you! I'm actually a fan of magical houses too, so it was great to be able to write one finally. :)
