I love love loved that! Adore that you picked up one of the super-minor characters as well, and used her for femmeslash with a Hufflepuff! I love the Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff dynamic. I've used Morag a fair share myself, generally shipping her with Susan Bones--I'm too much of a fraidy-cat to try two nearly-OC characters as main characters in one HP fic. I haven't written her in a while. I was so happy to read her in a fic not written by myself! I can't wait for more!

The interactions were great.I loved seeing Padma get some attention. Lovely lovely!

I love that someone else loves Morag as much as I do! The really minor characters are my very favorite because they haven't been messed up by that silly JKR.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reading.

It made me giggle 'cause you're having your Morag use Herbology as an excuse to meet her girl despite being fine at it, where as I had my Morag have one real downfall: Herbology. So somehow both ships seem to be connecting over Herbology!

And yes, that's my draw to the really minor characters too. :) I didn't think Susan Bones was used enough, so I enjoy using her too.

All the really good couples hang out at the Greenhouses! *grins*

Susan doesn't get good recognition! While it's great that she gets more than just a mere mention in the books to make sure there are enough faces in the background (or a line on a random, written class list), she's a plot point and nothing else in canon. But that leaves her wide open for some really good fic!

I love to play with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Everyone writes the Gryffindors and Slytherins so there need to be some dedicated Huff and Claw writers!
