I've been behind on f-list posts and e-mail and comment replies for the last few days ... but instead of getting caught up tonight, I wrote this instead, heh. I guess my excuse is that I have an odd fascination for "real-time" fic ( Read more... )

First of all, the real time thing was a brilliant idea! :D

Secondly, I enjoyed this so much, I have a big smile on my face. I loved the way you brought everyone in, and the little details like Teddy's brown owl and shiny suitcase (I bet it ends up covered in paint or stickers when he comes back-the suitcase, not the owl). He's such a sweet little boy here, so eager to go and find out what house he's in. I loved that he cared about his dad having to go through a full moon without him, it shows how close their family is. And the last lines were just excellent!

Thanks so much -- I'm glad to know you enjoyed the story!

the way you brought everyone in

I'm glad that seemed okay. I actually wanted to have a little interaction between Teddy and Harry's kids, too, but I thought the story was getting away from me, heh.

Oh, I like it when you get shamelessly self-indulgent and in-denial. : )

“I feel like a Gryffindor today...But Gran tells such good stories about all the plots and schemes in Slytherin-"..."And Hufflepuff has the best parties,” Tonks put in firmly. “Being so close to the kitchens, and all.”

Tonks' line was probably my favorite, but I loved how you ran through the whole spectrum of possibilities. Sweet ficlet.

Ack! I'm sorry -- I thought I had already responded to this comment. Must have been saving it for after work someday...

Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys a little denial from time to time, heh.

I still haven't decided what House my version of Teddy should be in. I do hope Hogwarts can do something about the Slytherin image problem in the postwar years, though.
