I feel like every review I leave for this is super repetitive, but: I just really love this. It's so refreshing to read HP fic that's just about friendships and relationships and not trying to take itself too seriously - which isn't to say that there aren't serious parts of this. It's just a breath of fresh air.

PS - I hope you had a great birthday!

Thanks, I totally did!

Thank you! I like relationships more than anything else so I just self-indulgently keep writing them, and I'm lucky people want to read them as well.

oooh I really like this. You have this knack for getting their voices just right. It's lovelylovelylovely :)

[jlh]

Thanks so much! It's a lot harder coming from a book--so much easier to get the voices when you can really hear them, as in a tv show or movie, so I'm glad they sound right to you!

I am really loving how you're building this story. Also, I really want someone to draw the circus wedding!

[jlh]

I'm so glad because the pacing and when to reveal things was the most tricky part of the story, definitely. So thanks!!

Oh, Harry and Hermione just make my heart ache and want to cuddle them both. I also still completely love Padma and Ginny shopping together, with Ginny's little twinges of self-consciousness and the question about marrying someone for sauce spoons.

I would totally marry someone for sauce spoons.

Thanks!
