I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this one, myk, since I very rarely work with any of the Next Gen children and I'm usually a bit uncertain about my ability to pull off their voices correctly whenever I do.

It is true that kids in general are extremely perceptive when it comes to things like emotions and kindness of heart. Of course Severus relishes being the focus of all sorts of barnacle-like affection, but he'll never -ever- admit that out loud, will he? ;)

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review this little drabble of mine, my friend. Your lovely review meant the world to me.:)
