I love this story. The emotions and the way your characters grow come across so clearly. You manage to convey so much in just a couple of sentences. Fabulous writing.

Oh... seriously great stuff here. I love how you developed both the characters, but especially Scorpius and his gradual realization of what he wants from his life and how he's going to win rose back. The ending is just SUPER with how he's determined to fit himself back into her life and win her away from her husband. Great, great, great idea... i have absolutely no doubt either that he can accomplish it. :)

For me!

This is wonderful. I really love the relationship that you've built between Rose and Scorpius. It's so fraught with tensions and challenges. Rose was such a fascinating character, and paired with the innerly contradictory Scorpius, they were perfect. Thank you so much for this. I feel really honored to receive it. Thank you again and again.

I really enjoyed Neville's putting Rose and Scorpius together as partners in class--that was inspired. I also loved how you explained and developed Scorpius and Draco's relationship--very believable. Rose's working at the Leaky Cauldron was a great fit for someone who loves to talk! Poor Rose making the mistake of a bad marriage. That's a big one, but I liked the hopeful ending.
