“She’s become the story that they tell each other around the campfire. It’s fairly hilarious. All one needs do is mention her name and they flee as if pursued by a pestilence.”
ROTFLOL! I love the image of house elves using Hermione like a scary campfire story. Hee.

I loved the banter about why Rose came along. I wondered myself why she thought she should. In her shoes, I would have hexed Al and left it at that. ;)

Like enchantedteapot I would love to see a prequel of how they got to this point. I really like your Rose and Scorpius. Great job! :)

Thank you! The House elf thing is a little tidbit from a LARP universe that my bff and I play in. We love the idea that house elves are absolutely terrified of Hermione. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as well. :)

Good job! You had some great one-liners in here, I just wish it has been a bit longer :)

I'm really starting to reconsider a director's cut now that I've got that pesky deadline out of the way. :) I'm so glad that you liked it. :)

This fic is as stunning as Scorpius says Rose is, and beautifully written on top of that. Thanks for a delightful read, Mystery Author!

Aw. Thank you so much for a lovely review!

Too funny!! I wish it had moved a little slower, but still very entertaining.

These were my favorite lines:

Rose dropped onto the sofa, taking the bottle of firewhiskey with her. She made the executive decision that glasses were no longer necessary. Actually, given the circumstances, she thought to herself, some sort of intravenous delivery might have been the best alternative.

“It doesn’t matter if I do. For me, it will end in pain and a distinct lack of kissing.”

Scorpius kissed like he absolutely had to.

Oh gosh. Thank you. :) I do agree with you and the others that there's a pacing problem, but I'm glad that you still enjoyed it. :)

haha that was fantastic.

She gripped his shirt front, pulling him closer, and wondering if it would be inappropriate to climb fully onto his lap.

hahha i absolutely loved that bit. from 'you want to kiss me' to 'i want to be on top of you' hahhha

great characterization!!

I figure that, and I'll probably explain this in the re-write, Rose has some issues admitting feelings for Scorpius. That's why she puts such a buffer between them to begin with.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
