Even Old Morose Bats Can Get Soft

Peculiar things can happen when a clumsy Auror breaks too much havoc around a certain grumpy, greasy, touch-phobiatic old bat. However, does the mighty flint-heart Snape own a softer side? Or are ugly gargoyle guys ever even supposed to possess something as impossible as a

Alas, Nymphadora's wrong-gone monsoon spell causes trouble at the Order Headquarters. A certain unfortunate bat gets beaten even more. But what are the emotional consequences? Swelling hatred, nausea, or something else?

Snape wallows in his contradictory feelings, and makes a major blunder during a Potions lesson. Beware of evil rubber ducks, especially if you are Dolores Umbridge! And, a night in a dingy dark alleyway leads to surprises...

Danger is in the air! What to do when an icky Death Eater is on your tail? Will the batman leave the fair nymph in distress, or become the brave knight of the night? Meet gargoyles and evil pigeons on the fly.

Poor Snape is all whacked up, both physically and mentally. As he ceaselessly is haunted by the hallucinations of his pink-haired dream damsel, he finally admits the existence of these new, weird feelings. And oh, how he yearns for to see Tonks again... A riot between Black and Snape at Grimmauld Place leaves Nymphadora in a stupefied state. And Slug Diarrhea has gotten an icky embodiment at Hogwarts.

Snape finally decides - as hard as it seems - to tell the bewildered Tonks about his feelings. But oh, how all his good intentions to impress her seem to be turning into a rollercoaster of fiascos... And it seriously is a curse to possess an overlarge nose when you are trying to kiss someone.

The aftermath of Snape's farce starts taking place. While Tonks remains utterly dumbstruck, Severus wishes to find a nice black hole to crawl in. Will the old bat's self-accusations never end? Perhaps hexing Umbridge brings in some temporal glee, but everything remains merely temporal, as the tragic events of the Department of Mysteries draw nearer...

The dark outcome of the battle at the Department of Mysteries finally opens up Snape's biased eyes. And so shall Tonks receive a surprise guest when she is recovering at St. Mungo's... and naturally in the most unromantic way.

Snape is obliged to caw the truth about his feelings towards Tonks. A long train of question marks follows. How will Nymphadora react? Eventually, shall all the hopes fall into utter darkness, or will it be a moment for cupids to throw down pink confetti?

While an awkward tension yet remains, a shy romance is evolving between Snape and Tonks. While the embarrassed bat visits his nymph at St. Mungo's for the second time, their lovedove-affairs are however interrupted by an infamous redhead duo. And alas, judging by what they see through a doorgap, Fred and George falsely believe that the Potions Master has applied a Dark Curse of some sort on Tonks. A valiant "rescue operation" follows...

Ouch! Fred and George have involuntarily witnessed Tonks and Snape's slushy dove-show that was supposed to remain super-secret. Will they blabber on, or will they eventually even believe their eyes...? And shall the gargoyle guy ultimately find happiness within, or will it all crumple into a pathetic sob-snivel-sniff tragedy...? In the obligatory cameo, meet a herd of cows manuring Umbridge's office.
