LOL. Yes, the Gryffindor approach is certainly faster, but I don't think our Sev would have felt quite this satisfied with himself if his triumph hadn't required at least a modicum level of plotting...

Judging by Harry's rather flustered claims, I'd dare say you are right, you know? There's a pretty good chance that he picked all those guys on purpose to rile Severus up. Obviously he should have known that Sev, being Sev, he wouldn't be the one to cave in first...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, soLeo. Thanks, as usual, for keeping up with my work. :)
