This line: "I’d say thank you, but then it appears that I’ve fallen prey to the belief that it’s a compliment.” made me grin in that way that only sexy, snarky couples can :D
Would love to read a companion piece/prelude to this, to see why Rose dislikes Scorpius so much. I bet that would be a fab story! Well done, MA!

Aw. Thank you. :) I'm so glad that you liked it.

I actually have a really hard time writing stories where Rose dislikes Scorpius automatically. I always sort of figured that, with the inevitable friendship with Albus and Rose and Scorpius's mutual intelligence, they'd always be acquaintances at best.

Nice, witty banter!

Aw. Thank you. :)

I really loved this one. It's really funny and sweet. I really love Rose reactions.

Rose is really fun to write because, in any given situation, she can go in a Ron direction or a Hermione direction. I like playing with the dichotomy. I'm glad you like reading it. :)

I love this! The dialogue is great and the characters are really fun to read. I pretty much just grinned the whole way through. Great job!

I'm glad I could make you smile. :)

I liked this a lot! Would have loved to see it even longer because I thought Rose changed her opinion on Scorpius maybe a bit quickly, but the idea was great and the banter a really good laugh!
Good job :)

That bothered me, as well, but I was worried about it dragging, as well. I might re-write it now that I don't have a deadline looming. :)

Thank you for reading! :)
