I was the headmaster, and there were rules about courting your staff. Not actual rules, really—I had checked a couple years ago, just in case something happened. But principles. Codes of ethics. I love your insecure Snape--his voice is intelligent, funny, self-deprecating. Really, the first person POV gives us such fabulous insight into their thoughts and feelings.
"You know, Severus, we should really remove the anti-snogging spells from the cupboards. After all, I fear they might have the opposite effect." Good call, Professor Granger. Perhaps the temperature should switch to frigidly cold? (Or would that encourage the randy buggers to find ways to warm up?)
And the ending! That's a generous reward for two idiots.
