There's something so very cheerful about this piece. It's so very nice to see that the war had positive and lasting repercussions, enough that these two can indulge in their preference for one another without any real fear.

Their families' reactions will be quite a scene to behold, I'd imagine.

Really enjoyed the espisode in history of magic when Scorpius kept pressing his leg against Rose's, also loved how she confronted him about it afterwards. Very cute!

Wow! I like it :D
Your version of Scorpius is very well developed and rounded out,as is your Rose. Fabulous! Can't wait to find out who you are, mystery author :D

I adored this piece. I love that Scorpius smiles. He doesn't smirk, he doesn't glare or brood, he smiles. It is very refreshing to read about a happy Scorpius and a happy, albeit shy, Rose. I also love that you built their relationship slowly and left them with a tentative, light, friendly hug at the end.

I love this sentence:
Either, Ron Weasley was guilty of gross exaggeration - quite likely, Rose concluded - or, Scorpius Malfoy was as different from his father as she was from hers.

It really gets the point across and lets the reader know not to expect carbon copies of their parents. All in all, I found this story completely refreshing and adorably sweet. Thanks for writing and sharing it =D

Indeed! A sequel maybe? ;)
