This is brilliant!

*laments the fact that your xeno isn't coming to RA*

;)

Seriously, awesome job on this. That last passage in particular was just amazing.

[inkvoices]

Thank you!

He might arrive eventually. *grins*

For the last bit I was heading into the complicated territory of how to say that Xeno would be okay with turning the trio in, in Deathly Hallows, because nothing matters but Luna and that that's part of his 'craziness', and that he's okay with that too...and I had 100 words. *laughs* So I tried to figure out how he would say it. So, yeah, I'm pleased you liked the last drabble. *grins*

This is wonderful, poetic. Both Luna and Xenophilius are lampooned a fair bit in fan fiction. You manage to touch on the wonder of them both, and the fact that being different isn't wrong, it's just different.

[inkvoices]

Thank you, yes! *is all kinds of happy with you* They're just different, and there's nothing wrong with that. Only then Xenophilius has some hard times in life that he might not handle especially well, so he might be a bit crazy on top of that, but 'crazy' is relative.

Glad you liked it :o)

I love this.
I had to get Ruth to read it too because I knew she'd love it.

It's a really interesting look into a character that is only really mentioned for his oddness.
And his love of his daughter of course.

Very well done.

[inkvoices]

Wow, I'm so happy you liked it that much :oD

I know, when I thought about him that was what I came up with straight away too: odd and loves his daughter. I decided not to stray into 'obsessed with the Deathly Hallows' territory, because I wanted to see what else he might be about. (And hey, Aussie person - Luna Park. *grins*)

[kath_ballantyne]

*g* Yes. I did notice the platypus and the Luna park and stuff. I did mean to mention the Aussie stuff. *g* I meant to mention it but I'm forgetful.

[inkvoices]

I had never heard of Luna Park, but I was checking out Austrailia to find some things for Xeno to like and that jumped out and hit me over the head, but none of the Aussie readers had mentioned it, so when I got to your comment I wanted to poke at it. *grins*

lovely. too often used as comic relief it is nice to see him treated with respect

[inkvoices]

Thank you. He is funny from time to time, but he's a person too. :o)

A gorgous in depth look at a character who is seldom looked at with any kind of depth at all!

Fantastic work and thank you so much for sharing!

[inkvoices]

Thank you! I'm so very glad you enjoyed it. :o)
