You've paired two things I love ... cooking and Harry Potter into a wonderful story. The first half of the story is just a teasing appetizer and I hope to be able to read the rest soon. :) And I had to look up strucchi so it was a delicious learning experience as well.

hi! i'm thrilled to see you here and thank you for your review! id say the 'research' (cough) was the best part of this fic - i might well consider writing other food centric fics more often (why did this never occur to me earlier??) as I found it very...ful-filling ;)

thanks for still being here! <3

[a_boleyn]

I'm sure you could be inspired to do a whole series of 'drabbles' with food themed titles. :)

Speaking of ful-filling, I just got through taking a series of pictures of the churros I made a few hours ago and let me tell you, that was a sacrifice. After all, I had to taste the various ways that churros can be served. I stopped at 3 due to sweetness overload.

[lucius_complex]

I cld seriously use a dose of such sacrifice :)

and i swear sushi is the torture instrument of the future.

Thank you again for this wonderful gem of a Snarry! You have so much poetry in your writing!

Oh, and you make me hungry :)

[lucius_complex]

I started this fic with you in mind, so it makes me terribly happy that you like, dear Karol <3

(Oh, just a short note: I'm carolinelamb on LJ now, so my user ID is carolinelamb :) countesszero on LJ is someone else :)

[lucius_complex]

oh! I'm so sorry! how did i get this wrong - did u used to have another name?

I've changed it now. *shudders wt embarrassment

[carolinelamb]

Oh no, don't worry! I had two ID's for a while: I had an account on Insanejournal as countesszero, then opened a mirror account on Livejournal-only to find that 'countesszero' was already taken (ironically by a fellow German lady) so I opted for carolinelamb.

In the following years people continously confused the two ID's and at some point last year I decided to get rid of the countesszero ID altogether and only go with carolinelamb.

Btw, I noticed you posted this as an entry for the Summer of Snarry Challenge, but I think you have to post it directly in the snape-potter (or at least a link there that leads to your LJ entry) ...

[lucius_complex]

done! ^^ (lets hope it doesnt get take down again, i'm pretty clueless abt these things)

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES! is countess zero a german myth? famous person? secret society? oblique social phrase?

:p

[lucius_complex]
