Meep. So adoreable, so teenaged, so wonderful... It's like you've met these characters, you know them so well. And Michael would only be that rude to a girl he totally crushed on, anyway. Brilliant as always, m'dear...

Thank you! Daphne's character's about to take a deviation from my AU work in the next section--Astoria appears. Seriously, I'm dedicating that section to you and Sara. I couldn't have imagined Daphne and Astoria without having old Daria clips bashing about my skull.

Hopefully, though, Astoria will come across with a little more depth than Quinn :-D

And yes, Michael's a prat . . . be he can't quite admit to himself that he really likes her, even if he knows there's something he's drawn to. Boys!

Aw, I'm really enjoying these. And I especially love your Daphne! Great work! :D

Thanks! I'm really glad I found rare_pairs. I love writing the obscure characters that we don't know anything about.

Very glad to have heard from you :-D

"Perhaps, if you were in Ravenclaw, you would actually have friends and you wouldn’t sit all by yourself at meals!”

Ouch. But I like that line and the surrounding paragraphs very much. :D

I'm enjoying the direction you're taking with this pairing!

[suzanne78]

Thanks so much! I'm really trying to keep Michael in character, and I do sort of see him as being a . . . well, kind of an overly sensitive guy. Gets sort of angry really easily about girls, especially if he perceives them insulting his pride.

Hope you enjoy my future installments. I totally ship Michael and Daphne. They're really prominent in my big story I'm writing on fanfiction.net, the Daphne Greengrass series.

Man, my jaw dropped at Michael's words. Stupid, stupid boy. I do love how he speaks before he thinks, though. And Anthony's line (“I can’t believe you just made me feel sorry for a Slytherin, Mike.”) was hilarious. Very nice juxtaposition of horror and humor.

This tentative truce coupled with a study date is intriguing. Must read more.

Yes, for a Ravenclaw, my Michael doesn't think sometimes before he opens his mouth. I really loved bringing Anthony in, all smart and smart-alecky.

thanks!
