This is fun!

I've always thought there should be more DH-behind-the-scenes fics featuring other characters, and Percy is a great choice (glad to get to know your version of Audrey, too -- as she is a Muggleborn, this year is going to be a rough one for her). I'll be looking forward to updates.

Also: congratulations on starting to post after working on this fic for a long time. I know the feeling...

Thanks! :)

The initial Percy/Audrey stories I read after JKR announced in her interview that he married Audrey, all had Percy meeting Audrey after the war . . . which got my brain going. What if Percy met Audrey BEFORE the war? What if she were Muggleborn? What if she helped me reconnect with his family? Etc . . .

And thank you, for that too. I actually posted Percy's half of the fic, mostly, previously on my own LJ, but it was just "here's what I wrote this week" not orgainized into chapters. And Audrey decided she didn't want her part to be a separate story . . . I'm determined to finish this in 2013!

I'm thankful to have a reader looking forward to updates. The next two chapters are with my beta, and I'm currently finishing chapter 11, so it shouldn't be too long. :)

I'm super loving your Audrey, and this Percy is adorable too. I also love Audrey's friend and her teasing about Percy's past pomposity. This is just lovely and I can't wait to red more.

Thank you! I'm so glad you love Audrey since I really wanted to practice creating a believable character. :) More is coming . . . ;)

I forgot to mention in the last comment that I agree that Starbucks does speak a different language! :)

I like hearing about Percy's and Audrey's past and growing up as a magical child. "hatstalled" that's a great concept.

I'll be interested to see what you (and Audrey) do with the butterflies. Lots of interesting symbolism potential and of course they are beautiful.

LOL, they really do! :)

Hatstalled is all JKR's since it came from Pottermore, but I had to rewrite the chapter to include it. ;)
