Splendid. One of the things babies do is make you think about your own childhood, and those you love.

Don't they, though? I'm looking at my own daughter, who is eleven, and thinking of the trio as they started Hogwarts, and it just amazes me!

I had to be linked to this, madame!!

Aren't you supposed to tell me when there is snotty Harry/Ron friendship fic???

That was lovely!

[auntbijou]

*laughs ruefully* Well, I thought about putting it on harry_and_ron, but I didn't know if it would fit! I'm glad you liked it, though!

and now a comment from the Peanut Gallery...

Oh, this is lovely! I like gen stories where there is so much depth to the connections between the characters :-)

Thank you for sharing it!

[auntbijou]

the image of little harry in that cupboard, and even petunia sneering as she bathes him with as little touch as possible has kept me awake at night.

lovely ron. thanks for writing it.

I'm a lot like Ron here. I can't imagine listening to a child cry and not going to comfort them. When my son was 15 months old, I thought about little Harry, going from a loving home, to one where no one wanted him, and it broke my heart. I think, sometimes, that Harry's mother's sacrifice did more than simply protect him from Voldemort. It must have protected him from the Dursleys as well!

I'm glad you liked the story!
