Chapter 42: Bridal Parties

This chapter sees our beloved Potions Master reluctantly attending 
Remus Lupin's bachelor party, while Rowena is off with Tonks and 
friends for the bachelorette party.

I had *way* too much fun writing this chapter.  I completely do not 
like fics where Severus is made to play the fool or behave in an 
undignified manner--but I had a great deal of fun giggling to myself 
as I imagined his thoughts and expressions of disgust and revulsion 
as he was forced to witness other people doing precisely that.

To reprise the summary: Severus Snape and OFC, Romance/drama, 
hurt/comfort. After OotP so loads of spoilers for that book, but 
before Half Blood Prince; so AU to that book when it arrives.  
Voldemort is out in the open, Snape involved in DE activities 
because of his OotP Spy role.  A researcher from Ministry offers to 
aid and assist Dumbledore and is reacquainted with our Potion's 
Master whom she knew slightly from school. Snarky Snape, in depth 
plot. (Way too much plot for those of you who want PWP.) WIP Rated 
NC-17 for later chapters. 

This is a mature themes fic, not only because of romance/sexual 
situations, but also because of a realistic, intense, and sometimes 
graphic view of what Death Eaters would probably REALLY be like, and 
the unpleasantness a truly effective spy would have to endure.

family—and my hubby who has not cut his hair since HBP-release date 
was announced just for me, so he can dress as Snape for the book 
party!! What a guy! /vbg/)

The story has been more thoroughly 'polished' at FFN because I find 
it more user friendly to my technophobia, but the 'juice' is left in 
the 'lemons' on AFN. I have only recently been told by a list-sister 
on GotSnape how to keep my italics and other font-thingies on AFN, 
and I haven't yet taken the time to go back and edit previous 
chapters.  I will also be submitting it to SycophantHex eventually 
if approved there. I'm waiting until it is complete to apply.

If you are into that sort of thing, you are welcome to pop by and 
view my livejournal where I leave more specific chapter notes, 
replies to reviews, and those sorts of author-musings.  Anyone may 
view my journal.

I love comments, reviews, constructive criticism, I would *adore* 
having a Brit-picker for this fic, and I am always happy to have 
people find/catch typos, errors, etc.  I have a delightful beta who 
does an excellent job of catching most of my errors (and abuse of 
commas, etc.) but we are all human and sometimes I tinker after she 
has 'finished' with a chapter.  Any remaining errors are mine, and I 
will shower you with virtual hugs for pointing them out to me so 
that I can fix them.

Please specify which chapter you are referencing when giving me 
such 'fixes' so that it makes it easier for me to find and go back 
and repair later.

I hope you enjoy the chapter!
