Size Queen by Predatrix (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Snape/Hagrid
Author Website: Predatrix's Little Corner of the Universe
Why this must be read:
This is one of the stories I've been waiting eagerly to rec. I love Snape/Hagrid because Hagrid tames Snape as he does all vicious, dangerous animals; like Snape/Lupin, this is a pairing where Snape's acid is neutralized by someone who seems immune to it. Plus the sex is hot. And here, Predatrix shows Snape learning to respect Hagrid as an equal...
Hagrid looked at the ground. "I'm 'opeless with writin'" he admitted.
"It looks as if you held the pen in your toes and walked across the paper, yes," said Snape. "However, you actually thought about what you were doing, tested it out, and did original work. Do you have any idea how rare that is in the Potions classroom?"
"'Ow do yeh mean, tested it out?" said Hagrid, surprised, trying to remember exactly what he'd done.
"You've crossed out about fifteen ingredients," said Snape, sounding rather impressed.
"Yeh. Well, I couldn't get it all right," said Hagrid glumly. "I made a lot of the base, and kept puttin' it in little pots and addin' just a little shavin' of something that might have worked."
"You idiot, that's the right approach!" said Snape. "You haven't got a clue how difficult it is to get the children to make a start, have you? They wait, and they wait, and they put on a blank expression and hope I'll give them a clue about what to start with." He gave a rather aggrieved sigh.
"Oh no," said Hagrid, "does that mean I have to get all those rotten little pots out again? I haven’t even washed half of them."
"I know what I'm doing with this," said Snape, with a milder glare, "so we can bypass the experimental stage. I was merely pointing out how rare it is to find someone who bothers to experiment when necessary. In the classroom, most children either pretend they've done the experiments when they haven't or just add the ingredients straight into the cauldron. I've just about given up on getting them to experiment, especially considering what happens when Longbottom tries, but that means all of them will leave school with the impression that there isn't a stage before being told what the ingredients are."
