This is fantastic! I adore your Susan voice and omg I'm half in love with Terry myself after reading your descriptions of him. Wonderfully done!

YAY! Thanks, bb! I'm so glad you liked it and liked Susan! I had a hard time getting started with her, but I ended up really enjoying this version of her. And Terry has a bit of a Mr Darcy allure, doesn't he? :) Thanks again, lovely!

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you liked my take on Susan. I had only written her once in a drabbly bit, so it took a while to figure out who I wanted her to be, but I ended up really liking her! I definitely drew on Tonks and Bridget Jones for her character. :) And I think she was adorably charming, too-- so yes! Makes sense that poor Terry has been properly smitten for all these years! Thank you!

Oh, I loved this! Susan was great and I loved Terry and all the other characters. Chatty Romilda, pompous Ernie. I also enjoyed the backstories to second year potions and their seventh year. Very well done. :)

*beams* I'm so glad that you liked it! I had such fun working out the characterizations for this whole cast of delightfully minor characters. It was fun trying to figure out who they are based on what little we know of them from canon. So glad you liked the backstory too! It was fun to tie in some canon but then expand on it and draw it all together. It took a lot of work but I'm quite pleased with the end result. Thanks so much for a lovely comment! :)

I love this from start to finish. Your Susan is a delight, and I love stiff Terry who's really just a mushy mess inside because he's in lurve.

Utterly fantastic! And by far the best Susan story I've ever read in my life.

*beams* Thank you, darling! I struggled to find a good voice for her, but once I landed on this one, the whole thing just came together! She's definitely got an inner voice like mine, but Terry with his stiffness and not super obvious facial expressions and such-- that's ALL ME. :) With a dash of Mr Darcy thrown in for good measure! He's such an adorable mushy mess!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
