LOL. Yes, this demanding Severus is a bit different from my usual portrayal of him as an extremely insecure man. I'm glad you enjoyed his demand for Harry to stop babbling and do things properly...
Albus was being slightly manipulative with that particular speech, but he wasn't exactly lying about Severus' sadness over not having someone of his own to celebrate his birthday with and, in the end, his meddling not only worked but was also orchestrated with the best possible intention.
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this story so much, pat. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review. You know how much I love hearing from you, don't you?
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend. Hugs, as always, pekeleke
