LOL. I'm glad that you can see the sense in Harry's jealousy of Severus' books and, although I suppose that Hermione would have been the perfect choice to tell Harry how Severus looks at him, I was playing with the idea that probably Ron has felt the same sort of jealousy, too, and therefore is better suited than his girlfriend to understand Harry's plight... ;)

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble. Thanks so much for your lovely and detailed comment. Seeing this piece through your eyes was a wonderful experience. :)
