Ahhhh this was totally worth the wait! I love your Severus. He’s just an adorable little cactus 🌵😂
Hermione worrying that she’s become some kind of sexual predator is SO in character. That over the top conscientiousness is one of her more endearing characteristics. Probably the one she is least self aware of as well.
And of course it all combines to produce the misinterpretation and angst that drives me crazy. That’s why we love you!
