I admittedly did not spot the canon violations *stares hard at story again* Nope.

I enjoyed that. I have a soft spot for characters-as-children story (somewhat embarrassing, I suppose) and I really did enjoy Luna and Neville and Hermione in there. Lavender's bit was good, too, but did not quite resonate as much with me.

It was interesting to see the child-parent interactions of the characters we see grow up in the series, and rather spot-on, especially for Neville and Luna, I think.

I liked Ollivander, too. His behaviour was quite IC, in my opinion.

Thank you for reading and leaving such a lovely feedback.

Hehe. *giggles* Look again. One is really big, the other two are tiny, and I only spotted them because I'm listening to the audiobooks these days. This is clearly a test for canon nerds.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the story. I had so much fun writing it, especially with making up the little details to flesh out the characters.

I have to admit that Lavender's part was the hardest: she is such a girlie girl, which makes it very hard for me to connect to her character. I clearly prefer the weird and the bookish. *g*

If you like those, I have another one that you might enjoy. It's about Barty Crouch junior and his dad.

*hehe* I got it: Luna is a year younger than the rest of them.

Nevertheless: Ooooh, lovely! *squees*
You told me about that and I love what you made of it. You draw such nice pictures of the characters just before school. Such different families and different ways to shop for their supplies. Who cares about canon!?

Bad LJ! *hits it*

Thank you for your lovely review! I was so sure that you would like it. Whee! :-)

Well, usually, that's you, beating me over the head if I find one good streak in Draco. *g*

I had so much fun writing this that I will sign up for the next gen fest for sure.

Um. Yes. That would be me. *makes sheep's eyes*

And... there is a gen-fest? There are people out there who are fandom and not pervert? I'll join! *ducks anvils*

[catsintheattic]

Honey, there are *three* gen-fests I know of, and you can find them all in my user info: springtime_gen, hp_summergen, and hp_holidaygen. I know it's hard to believe, but it's not all about the smut. *gasp*

Psst. BTW, it's possible for one person to love gen and smut at the same time. ;-)

[jaelle_n_gilla]

What? You can be vanilla and pervert at the same time? *shakes head* Oh no! you have to fit inna box, you know. Nice label and all. Tsktsk.

I may check out the gen comms, though :-)

[catsintheattic]

*goes capslock*

I HATE BOXES AND LABELS!

I love my vanilla flavoured whip. &hearts *licks it*

Erm... *g*

I may check out the gen comms, though :-)

Ah qui, do eet!

There are more comms, these are only the fests. Great stuff! springtime_gen has brought great fic and art as well, I betaed for Waterbird and therefore followed the comm closely. I really enjoyed the stories that were posted.
