I trust they've done something to the flame of Rose's cauldron to make it safe . . . .

Poor Hugo.

Poor Herm-nope, I won't say that. She's got it pretty good with Severus, the lucky witch, and he, with her because he has a family to love him and for him to care for.

I adore the chaos of it all! :D

It’s a toy cauldron, so perfectly safe. I imagine it doesn’t have a real flame, like a hot plate type mechanism or something.

This is definitely a True Life Event fictionalization. This is “Sev is a better step-parent than I am” the fanfic. My react in the moment was far less demure. <3 thanks for the comment.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Funny story - in college, one of my fellow HONORS PROGRAM students (this was quite obviously our freshman year) shit in a red Solo cup and stuck it on the elevator of a 14-floor dorm. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I absolutely believe it. Thank you for sharing that anecdote. <3 thanks for the comment. I hope if you liked this work you will consider following me on Archive of our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/LadyHeliotrope

Chaos! Pure and utter chaos! I can't say I miss having a child not in double digits. The single digits were hell. At least for me.

I really do enjoy Severus's and Hermione's relationship, though.

Yeahhhhh I cannot wait until my own little Rose grows up a bit more. The chaos wears on my poor soul. <3 thanks for the comment. I hope if you liked this work you will consider following me on Archive of our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/LadyHeliotrope

Oh my goodness shit in a jar. Genius. I do hope this is not from personal experience MA.....

I loved this little glimpse into ordinary life, so relatable and realistic! Such a nice look at Severus' mindset post-war, and a plausible look at the big breakup too. Thanks for this story, it kept me giggling all day :)

As a step parent myself of a little girl who is coincidentally named Rose, this is definitely a True Life Event fictionalization beyond belief. But also this is “Sev is a better step-parent than I am” the fanfic. My react in the moment was far less demure. <3 thanks for the comment.

Darling children. All too realistic, dammit :-)

(Well and accurately written, MA. Nicely done)

[ladyheliotrope]

Thank you!!! I’m glad you found it to be in character enough.
