Oh! My gift, wow!

*off to read*

clever title, clever fic, clever OC, unusual way of reflecting family, a good read!

I'm really, really enjoying this so far! I'm loving the fact that you've written this from the perspective of a portrait! That's really original, and it adds something special to what would otherwise feel a bit claustrophobic, I think. It's fantastic how you've been able to bring in so much history of the wizarding world, and how you've captured the feeling of what it would be like to be a portrait for a century! Also, the contrast between the language of the narration (with its 19th century slant) and the more modern-sounding dialogue is really interesting.

On to the next part...

Oh, and this:

His descendants weren't really following the son of a Squib and a Muggle?

Is fucking brilliant. :-D

I love how the veritaserum was crucial to both the plot and the romance. It didn't feel contrived at all! amazing.

I loved this, although I, like Arcturus, wanted to see more of everything. The POV is a brilliant brilliant thing.

I haven't freezed my brain after it melted so I will just tip you off to some typos I found:
he at last seemed to wash his hair. Should be "least", i think.
In the same paragraph there's a "to much" which should be "too much"

Thanks for this!
