All of my reviews of this are SO REPETITIVE, but I love the details. Little things you drop in that aren't crucial to the plot but which make the whole wizarding world feel really fleshed out. So great. Can't wait for the next part!

I always worry that I do too much of that, so thanks! I'm really glad it works.

tahnk you for this! i think this is only my second experience of having a fic in instalments, and I must say, it's really fun.

Also, that trio conversation in Chapter 4 (I think)? Brilliant. I laughed so, so hard XD I really love the development of this story.

The trio convo was probably one of the most fun parts to write, definitely. And I'm glad you're having fun reading it in parts--I'm posting it both ways, so you can do either (it'll go up on AO3 when it's all posted).

Thanks!

Very captivating story, and always a treat to see an update.

Nice one with the Pansy/Parvati, too!

Yay, I'm glad you're enjoying it, especially the Pansy/Parvati Valentines Day! Thanks so much, it's very encouraging!

One of the best bits about your writing is the little seriously funny lines that fit so naturally in because you're so good at banter and conversation. I loved the line from the last chapter about American food and melted cheese, and Draco's question about scowling at babies here. I also totally teared up at "Hufflepuffs endure. It's us Gryffindors who flame out." You just capture how people speak so perfectly.

Pansy and Parvati are just fabulous, and I love Hermione starting to catch on that, oh, yes, Harry's still TOTALLY GONE on her. And, of course, much love for the giant passel of Weasleys.

I just listen a lot, I think. But I'm glad you liked that particular comment, ha!

I sort of love the idea of there being these infrequent ginormous gatherings at The Burrow with like, billions of children running around and Ginny being so used to it she doesn't even notice and Draco being like, this is insane but probably in a good way.
