The structure was clever; you began with the Centaurs saying "Jupiter was bright tonight" and ended with Harry receiving a treacle tart, different from the original but close enough that we all remember the references. I liked your portrayal of Teddy. He was a real boy. The mention of Fred surprised me for a moment till I realized he was George's son.

Thanks for the review. My beta was a bit worried about my use of Fred in this too. I quite like the idea of Teddy and how he came out here. Writing this has actually inspired me to do a bit more writing, which is interesting, as I haven't really written anything ficcish in a couple of years at least.

I can't believe I quoted "Jupiter was bright tonight" which doesn't even make sense. "Jupiter burns bright" is so much better.

Absolutely beautiful. The sections with the house elves nearly made me cry. Fantastic job.
