what an awesome story

my favourite part was

"Headmaster," Snape nodded. Then, as they passed the Gryffindors, he said, "Potter. Nicely done."

Potter did his best to mask his shock. "Thank you, sir."

Minerva nodded to the students, winked at Harry, and then they moved on. As they did so, however, both heard one of the second-years mutter to his comrades, "Why d'ya suppose she'd want to waste her time on a piece of work like that?"

"Shut up," hissed Ginny, looking quite annoyed.

Minerva and Snape glanced at each another. As one, they spoke.

"Fifty points from Gryffindor!"

"That would make it an even hundred," Dumbledore said. He looked, Minerva noticed, rather amused.

"Who is that guy?" asked a first-year Slytherin. "He looks terrible!"

Draco Malfoy swung his elbow into the boy's shoulder. "Professor Snape, the head of our house."

"And I thought Gryffindors were stupid," Pansy Parkinson muttered.

"And fifty from Slytherin," Snape said.

"Make it a hundred," Minerva said. "Which reminds me- you, Allen-" The first- year Slytherin had the good grace to look apologetic "-We need to discuss your Potions marks."

"Bad?" Snape asked.

"Abysmal."

it was funny, sweet, touching and very well written - thank you for writing it :)

Brilliant. Just beautiful.

aw so cute!

OMG this is a really good story! I think you should be a writer someday! :)

::smiles:: Wonderful story, loved it. Just...I noticed one little error...you wrote "Miss Blaise Zabini" Haha. :)

You are brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

I enjoyed your story thoroughly. I look forward to reading your other Snape/McGongall stories.

UPDATE! awsome job, happy writing.

XD

Beautiful story, I enjoyed it very much.

long chapter, well written, and FINALLY, a writer that can put some kind of balance between gryffindor and slytherin instead of worshiping one of the two. I congratulate you on a great story, that might.. just might.. go on my favorites list. But I'll have to think about it...

That was such a beautiful story! Just the right amounts of action, romance, humour, angst and drama...wonderfully written and woven together deftly and expertly. I loved it, I can't possibly express how much I loved it. MM/SS is my OTP, and this is an example of why I love them together so much. Thank you for sharing this with us on

Cheers,

Ballad

I just recently discovered that pairing and I think it's growing on me

Lovely story by the way, took me three hours to read it, and I was going relatively fast!

Anyway as I said before: Lovely story!
