I am a classically trained singer with three children. I love Star Trek and have watched probably every episode of every series. Favorite HP charaters are Snape and McGonagall. (not as a couple.)

A shy Severus, yeah that makes sense. As always I am glad he gets a happily ever after.

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Oh, me too.  After all he's been through, the man deserves a break!

Ah, love it!  Your shy Severus is adorable yet believable.  Hermione's idea was clever, and I liked all of Sev's internal dialog.  I was cheering them on as they set Ron straight, and your little epilogue is charming.

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Thanks!  I think it's possible for Severus to be shy after all he's been through.  And I had to get Ron in there.  He's always good for a laugh.

I adore Shy!Severus.  Of course, I adore Snarky!Severus, Irate!Severus, Slytherin!Severus... every iteration of Severus there is.  But my favorite is Shy!Severus.His internal dialogue was a delicious look into the heart of the man, and I clapped when he ran after Hermione to tell her he had known who she was before he had asked her to dance.He's a good kisser, too.  Lucky witch, is our Hermione.Lucky readers, are we cuz you wrote this for us.Thank you.  8^)Beth

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Thanks, Beth,I like this type of Severus too, obviously.  ;)  And Hermione is definitely a lucky witch.  Too bad we all don't have a Shy!Severus for ourselves!

Ooooh, this was lovely! I loved your shy Severus finally making the move. And Ron! The 'squid and Professor Sprout' line was hilarious! What a wonderful one-shot, deb.

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Aw, gee, thanks, kizzy.  When Ron's not chasing Hermione, he's awfully funny and loveable.  He comes up with the most outlandish things to say.  Bwahahaha.

I wish we could use glamours! very good story. Severus' trying to work himself up to ask her was very funny.

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Wouldn't it be great to wave a wand and have an automatic makeover?  Glad you enjoyed this.

This was a different Severus than I'm used to - shy? Who knew.I loved that you had Hermione use glamors to 'hide' at the dance. ANd Ron, oh he was so funny. Enjoyed this one very much. Thank you for sharing.

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Thanks so much.  I know that a shy Severus is a bit different, but taking his memories of his interactions with Lily, I thought that he was probably quite shy around her when there might have been an opportunity to better their relationship.  I just drew it out to span over a lifetime.  Mwahahaha.  Although I'm not fond of Ron being paired with Hermione, I love his funny side.  He's great for a laugh, I think.

Oh! That was a very sweet story debjunk!I found it touching that Severus knew Hermione liked him, yet he was too shy to do anything about it.Great job! :)

Response from debjunk (Author of The Ministry Ball)

Thanks so much!  Severus is quite endearing with those silly thoughts that run through his head.
