LOL. Yep. Our dear potions master was in top Slytherin form here, wasn't he? ;D
I agree with you on the point that his insufferably satisfied smirk would have been a sight to behold indeed. I think I'd have happily paid a sackful of Galleons just to see it...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, my friend. Thanks, as always, for your wonderfully funny comment, fallconsmate. Hearing from you has the power to cheer me up, no matter what I'm doing. :D
