As you would so aptly put it: "Guh." I loved this last section. Pins and needles and slowly speeding pulse here!!!!
The conversation with Snape was great. Favorite line: Draco resisted the urge to swallow at the unfamiliar lilt to his normally emotionless professor's voice. If he didn't know better he might almost think... “Yes.”
Why I like it: Because it has a bit of irony. Let me see if I can actually explain this thought at 1 a.m. in the morn. Draco is thinking that he's at the brink of knowing what Snape is thinking, just as we are thinking that we're on the brink of actually knowing something concrete in what Draco is thinking. There's a ragged edge here between total incomprehension and knowing what's going on, and just when I think you're about to cross it, you give me: "Yes." You bitch. That is so fucking cool but you know I hate you for it. I want to beat things. The tension is killing me.
Speaking of tension. I love the last part (this is not mindless repetition here). Not only for the tension that I sort of stated right off the bat, but simply because the way it was written was cool. Coherent sentences interspersed with: "skin against skin touch familiar need he needed steady pulse tongue sweat mouth lips breathe green eyes inside inside.
