Anyone interested in being a Beta for Latin?

This is a shot in the dark but ... I'm currently in the midst of
writing a fanfic (gotta get a life, gotta get a life) and for some
reason Snape and Malfoy are insisting on speaking in Latin - mostly
because I love to bewilder Sirius Black from whose point of view we
are seeing this scene. 

At any rate, the Latin I took is slowly coming back, but at some point
I will need someone to read it and tell me if I'm saying what I mean,
in the right case et al. (My mind might also scream creative writing
codswallup and put the idea out of it's misery at some point -- thus
nullifying the need for a Beta.) The real challenge of, course, is
finding the right Latin words so that the non-Latin reader can get a
sense of what is being said. (A rather nasty fate for Snape -- if
Malfoy gets his way.)

To warn you, there is a tiny element of past LM/SS slash - nothing
explicit but the subtext is there. If that would dismay or disgust
you, you might want to pass. (And a rather large dose of explicit
SS/SB, but not in this particular scene.) Please don't respond just to
 tell me why I shouldn't write slash ... I do, my characters are
consenting adults, I label it as such, and no one is forced to read it. 

Feel free to answer off list: malaprop2000 at yahoo.com.

Going back to trying to remember the correct use of the ablative form.
