Reviewer: Gaycrow
Rakina has written a lighthearted, humorous little story, showing us a glimpse of Harry and Snape on holiday in wizarding Morocco.
Even on holidays, Snape stays true to himself. Despite their daily outings in the sun, Severus still looked every inch the Hogwarts teacher, still wearing his dark, full length robes, and his skin retained its odd sallow colour.
I love the thought of the two of them wandering through the casbah, discovering all sorts of wonderful and not so wonderful treasures, including a very interesting pestle and mortar.
Snape shows he hasn’t lost his Slytherin sneakiness by suggesting Harry buy the pestle and mortar as a birthday gift, even though Snape’s birthday was in January. He almost manages to pull the wool over Harry’s eyes by declaring that all Potions masters have an extra birthday, to celebrate ... Incendius Aconite, the greatest Potions Master of all time. He is almost a legendary figure, you know."
Harry has the last laugh, though - he isn’t quite as gullible as Severus thinks.
