I just loved all the details. Luna's shirt, everything going wrong, even though there were multiple back ups and failsafes and George showing up naked. At least that way they could reveal the gender, right?

It sounds like everyone had fun, though.

It was an adorable story.

I was not prepared for the sperm-shaped piñata. 😂💀

I love that you made it Severus who wanted the party! I definitely didn't expect that!

I'm kind of sad that Severus spent so much time organizing everything and none of it worked as it should! It made for a funny story, though, and everyone had a good time, so that's all that matters, right? Oh, and Hermione eventually was happy too. Thanks, MA!

First, I love that it was Snape who wanted to do the reveal instead of Hermione. The untagged dialogue was a trick! Sneaky, sneaky, MA!

Ohhhhhh, MA! This was delightful in so many levels. You laid out quite the tale and I’m just a little in love with you, I think.

This part: Nothing, he thought, could go wrong! How had everything gone so wrong? already had me howling (I’m easy to please, what can I say?). And then you continue onward with these amazing gems: Is this an immaculate birth then?" his father-in-law quipped with a grin; The piñata, a pink and blue striped sperm ...; This, this is what we're having!" he shouted, placing the frame right over the naked genitals of one... I had to stop reading, I was laughing too much, tears pooling at the corners of my eyes... poor Severus! He tried his best.

I also found this passage incredibly endearing and it made my heart both twist and warm in sentiment: He was shocked to feel tears pricking his eyes upon seeing the sex of his baby. It wasn't like it was going to be something ( ... )

I adored this comedy of errors. Poor Severus. LOL! He tried so hard to make everything perfect but it seems that Murphy's Law was in effect. I glad that everything turned out okay in the end, and although very stressful for Severus it seemed liked everyone else had a great time. Thanks for sharing, MA.
