I do like Hermione's tie for greatest achievement in the PoA year!

Harry could do some thinking about Goals and Accomplishments of his own, now that Voldemort was gone.

That's a brilliant line, and so Hermione!

a vague feeling that no ambitious, career-oriented woman would mention lots of cuddling, lots of sex as her greatest accomplishment of the year.

Oh, no, but she should, I feel.

I want to quote more lines to show how much I love your Hermione, but I'd end up with a very, very long comment.

she had shown so much courage in the last battle with Voldemort that she was entitled to take the easy way out for a few years.

Oh, I love this, and the entire conversation between Hermione and her parents made me giggle.

I like the observation of how it's easier to refer to Ron and Percy as "two sons" than by name.

Altogether, I really, really enjoyed this! And I'm very intrigued by all the background information - I'll have to check out liseuse's stories when I have some time free.

*whistles innocently* No agenda here, keep on moving, folks. *smile*

Glad you like the story, Lyras! I'm also very glad it seemed to pass muster with you, because I don't think about this generation very much and feel a bit out of my element. But Liseuse's stories were a fabulous starting point--I like the way she envisions childhood enemies coming together under the pressures of war and politics and then staying together afterward.

Again, thanks! M.

Also, I shall be by soon to read your latest. I'm hopeless behind these days but looking forward to it very much.

Glad you like the story, Lyras!

I loved it - seriously, for sheer joy in reading it doesn't get much better than this. I think you should take on this generation more often :).

And no worries at all. To be honest, I wasn't expecting many people to read that one, because I know it has the potential to push a lot of uncomfortable buttons. No pressure!

It's a lovely story, fierce and sympathetic and not afraid to look at uncomfortable things, which I admired. To be honest, my reservationw were much more selfish--I'm working on a Lily/Alice fic and am still trying to figure out what happened to Alice in my version of events. There are certain people--you and lupinslittlesis some to mind immediately--whose versions of events (for one reason or another) are so compelling to me I find them a little distracting sometimes. *sheepish smile* M.

Oh, I see! I do know what you mean about being thrown off or influenced by other stories - I think that happens an awful lot in fandom. Thank you for your compliments - and I very much look forward to seeing your take on Lily and Alice :).
