and hope you don't mind me saying this, but i found the random bold bits of dialogue distracting and a bit off-putting. the two fragments at the beginning of each section are fine, but the rest just look weird. you can just change the dialogue a bit so that's it's not a direct quote anymore or just add a note at the beginning or end that says that you used fragments of text from the original book. that should be more than enough, i think.

I know it's impossibly distracting.. I kept trying to figure out better ways to do it--for a while I had it all in italics, but that was annoying..
MLA citations have ruined me in the way that I just can't copy something without somehow marking what is mine and what's not mine. I started the fic with not labeling anything, and it was driving me absolutely mad. It's all rather pathetic, really.

Also, Fred and George *shakes head in disappointment*
But I really did enjoy it quite a bit!

I probably should have ended with something more final, but I just couldn't bring myself to write another word. I tried a few more sentences, but nothing fit, so I just left it as it is.
I totally blame my English teacher for my inability to copy word for word without marking it, somehow, that it's not mine. It was less distracting when it was in italics, but that didn't fit so well with my style of writing.
*grins at the twins* I added that scene on a whim and fell in utter love with it. My favorite part of the fic, if you ask me.

Is your car fixed? I, er, may have let slip in my joy you might be coming to visit, and some of our hall-mates are really excited.

I might have left it unfinished just to annoy you. :3
My car's running awesomely. All plans are in motion and everything's ready and set!
