Oooh, I love snarky Severus (is there any other? Yes, yes, I know - of course there is... and I love those just as much) and grown-up Harry who knows what he wants. Their bantering could have been better, but the result is what counts. (Harry?! What was that?) Well, after a stumbling start Harry managed to make a Gryffindor-finish: boldly and straight to the mark.

Most interesting, that Severus opted for the drawn-out option of having a date. I think that shows that he must be really intrigued by Harry as a person instead of Harry as merely a bed partner. That is a really fine start to something more. And: shagging is already set as a goal! I hope that Harry won't botch up any chances for that by bolloxing up the dinner, though.

Thank you for your story, dear pekeleke! ^^
