I loved it. The last line had me laughing out loud, though. Very nicely written! :)

Thank you!

[limyaael]

I'm glad the last line worked, since I was originally tempted to add more after it, and then decided to leave it just as it is.

nicely done :D

[limyaael]

Thankya!

Oh, very good. Loved the last line.

[limyaael]

Thank you. :)

[limyaael]

Thanks!

Most of the Minerva characterizations I see in fics- even ones where she's a child or it's long after the War- are completely stern, unbending, and right (sometimes to the point of being self-righteous). I thought the woman who told Peeves how to make mischief and so obviously disliked Umbridge deserved more of a mention.

Oh, this was lovely -- it's nice to see a younger, less secure, Minerva, and there are lots of great little JKR-ish touches, like the name "Protea Smith." And the last line is brilliant :)

Thanks!

I'm not that good at JKR-ish names, so I went with something safe. :) And the last line is a favorite of mine, too.
