I don't know many people who are foreign initially, but I can definitely see them slipping back into their foreign language when their frazzled.

Very nice chapter, I like Ron's willingness to be a Mr. Mom to let Hermione live her dreams. I also like the prospect of Hermione as Minister of Mgaic, you could have a lot of fun with that.

It was an idea he had at least as far back as when Rose was born. I just realized that, shit, I still hadn't resolved it.

I noticed that you stole a Firefly quote in there... Nice. :)

Excellent chapter!

lol Yeah, I took an English translation of a Chinese phrase and then re-translated it into French.

Joss Whedon is my master.

Do you have this shirt then? :)

And were you surprised that I noticed that? ^_^

Well, I figured someone out there would speak French, or someone out there would have used Babelfish and have watched the Firefly commentary. Cuz it's such a great damn line. I actually used the German version in my X-Men fic.

And I've seen the shirt. Don't have it, though. Me and t-shirts aren't happening as much anymore.

Big win to naming Percy's kids Gideon and Fabian. I've been writing about their namesakes all weekend.

I was initially planning to make one of them into Hugo's middle name, but I eventually just gave them both to Percy. Gotta get the theme going, you know?

Excellent characterization in this one. Love that George smelled little Fred's breath to check which kinds of candy. haha. And Ron, oh so proud of Hermione and her potentially being Minister. :) As always, another great chapter.

Hey, he had to EVENTUALLY be proud of the fact that his wife's a know-it-all. ;)
