That was wonderful! There were just too many good bits, Ludo's kleptomania, the way all the purebloods reacted to having this patient in their home, Regulus and his ham sandwich, but my little fangirl heart loved about Lord V and the meeting. It was too good.

[minnow_53]

Yay! Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm rather horrified to see that it's so much longer than anyone else's... But you should have seen the fic that got away!

Oh, that was all kinds of fantastic! Another I shouldn't have read at work, because it was just far too funny. I particularly adored the AK'd tomatoes, and the Muggling down, and Voldie and the agressive wand holding! Oh, and Reg being up past his bedtime eating ham rolls. :D

[minnow_53]

Thank you! :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I feel a bit strange writing someone else's CQ character for a cq_roundtable fic, and I apologise for the ham... It should have been peanut butter. Unfortunately, I can't get to my blue pencil, which is all sorts of agonising as there are five things I'd like to change. :(

You mustn't apologise for the ham! And it's good you're not allowed the blue pencil, because it is wonderful as it is. ♥

*raises eyebrow* Anonymous beta? I'm tempted to say I shan't comment unless you e-mail a new version of this with my name in big letters, but that's quite cruel, especially as I didn't actually need to do much.

So...good points? Narcissa, because, as primarily a Harry/Draco writer, I don't often get to see her in situations like this and I liked the way you wrote her. And Bella (y'know, I'm having a strange urge to call her Trixie for some reason) finding the Knights attractive. ^_^

Bad points? The lack of my name and the discrimination against Hufflepuffs. ^_~ <-- this means that was a joke and I actually found that part amusing.

There you go, one vaguely flattering review. Count yourself lucky, I don't come out of lurking for many people...

[minnow_53]

Thank you very much! ♥ *big hugs* There's a link on my journal with your name on it loud and clear. I thought this was an anonymous challenge, as you know.

I'm so glad you liked Narcissa. And Trixie. :P

Yes, I do count myself lucky. *more hugs* No more beta'ing for you for a while, AFAIK. Not for Minnow, anyway.

Oh, this was wonderful. I like everyone's reactions to having the mad people in their house.

And Regulus, staying up past his bedtime and eating a ham roll! Did he have footie pajamas? For some reason I'm picturing him in footie pajamas.

[minnow_53]

Thank you very much! :)

I'm sure he was wearing footie pyjamas, and I bet they had a flap at the back as well. :D And red teddy bears all over them.

I loved this! Whoever would have thought Bella could be so kittenish?!

There are far too many lovely lines and images to single out. This whole thing is a masterpiece!

And you cannot go wrong with a ham roll.

[minnow_53]

Thank you very much! :) My Bella was based very much on your CQ one, because that's how I always see her now. At any rate, I can't help finding her sympathetic.

It's great that the ham roll is going down well! :D

^_^xx

[sholmes87]

*is very pleased*

Thank you!! But I never think of Bella as being sympathetic at all. You've done a remarkably believable job of capturing an untapped side of her.

It is amazing what we focus on, isn't it?! It's probably a symptom of something.
