Lovely characterization of Hugo, and I liked how you portrayed his relationship with his father. I love reading about good fathers and Ron really was loving and understanding in this. Wonderful Christmas fic.

What a lovely little story. Just the thing on Christmas morning.
I love your perceptive little Hugo, and I especially love the way in which Ron is a perceptive and loving father, too. If JKR has a fault, it's that she shows her boys as perenially clueless and insensitive. This Ron is, to quote his former self, wicked.

Aww, thank you for the lovely review. That's how I like to imagine Hugo, admittedly, so I'm happy his voice seemed fitting. And I just adore Ron and am pleased that he came off as a good father as I like to picture him. Thank you for reading! :D

Trying to get Hugo's voice just right (well as I like to think it is anyway ^^) was the biggest thing I worked on with this fic so I'm quite pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you!
