I read a story outside my usual universe the other day, and it has stuck with me in the most devastating way. It's Snape/McGonagall, which though it makes sense to me has never seemed all that interesting.

I may seriously have to rethink this.

At the very least, I will have to keep track of this author, though unfortunately she doesn't seem to do Snarry. So I figure branching out will be good for me.  Sometimes, I have to say, I feel like a real innocent in fandom--I'm sure many of you know all about this story and its author already, and it's just me who's missed the boat so far.

Anyway, the story is this: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning by Delphi, and it has me scouring the internet for pictures of Dame Maggie Smith around age 40-50.  That may tell you something.

I've...never heard of it, but I'm such a ridiculous OTP girl that it's really, really hard for me to envision anyone with Snape except Harry. Based on this, though, I might have to take a peek at it. I can see the pairing in an abstract way, but I can't imagine immersing myself in it.

Yes, I understand completely. But it's such a different dynamic with Minerva that somehow it doesn't feel like any sort of "competition" with Harry. I'd love to know if you decide you like this story...
