I really enjoyed this <3 I'm not usually a fan of family/kids fics, but it worked for me here, and even there being so many kiddos at once you got to know their personalities and the relationships they have between each other. I still think everyone was too nice to each other all the time lol, especially for such a big family, like definitely more so than the Weasleys were, but maybe it works like this in some families, I wouldn't know.

Still not completely sold on the Harry/Ron, but that's not your fault lol, just the way things are :D They definitely had some hot and lovely moments there though. I loved how you made Harry the less approachable one for the kids and like, he really came out very canonic, with his hero complex and mood swings and not really trusting people easily. Haha your Ron was the responsible and reasonable one, who would have thought, I liked his humour too and the way he was so easy going with the children. (lol for some reason he kept reminding me of you, don't kill me, it's not bad XD)

Draco mah love <3 Loved all the snark between him and Harry of course. And that you made him change and care about Hazel, I'd definitely like to read more about them. Is he in the prequels too? Talin/Hazel were adorable, I hope they continue to be more than friends, with all the hugging and blushing lol. Though at the beginning I thought the affection grew too quickly, I'm not sure if boys their age would be kissing each other on the cheek the second day they got to know each other, especially if Hazel would let Talin that close from the beginning. But maybe it has to do with what Talin has seen around himself from Harry and Ron touching the kids/each other and Hazel needing some affection in his life. We are not really physically affectionate in our family, and so it usually startles me when a friend touches me randomly and stuff, and one of my close friends even had problems in relationships cos of that, she just couldn't see the value in physical affection other than sex because she never witnessed it between her parents growing up. But am getting off topic lol. Anyway, I'm glad Talin found a friend for himself with whom he goes along this well <3 And yay for wanting to be a healer too.

Poor Hazel though, I felt sorry for him, but not in the omg poor bb way, he seems very strong despite what happened to him, that's very admirable, kinda like Harry growing up with the Dursleys. I hope he will get over his women phobia/hatred too and bond with Sheryl at some point <3 But Cel how could you end it like this, I wanna know more about the purging and how the testing will turn out for Harry (why doesn't Ron believe him, that made me sad), so you better write moar :) Hee it was so nicely built up though, I was dying to know what happened to Hazel and what's happening in general. I love this universe you built, with Voldemort still alive and all the little details you put in, and seeing all the characters in their new professions was awesome too.

I told you already but the art was amazing, May is such a cutie ball and I liked the Harry/Ron one a lot too :) So yeah, it was such a pleasure to read, since I don't think I had read any of your HP fics before, and it felt all new and exciting. I really hope you continue with this! ♥♥♥
