Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun writing this fic so I'm glad people enjoyed it!

I really love this. Hilarious and sweet at the same time. :) The letters work very well with the fic. :)

Very fun-the amount of detail that you've put into each character's notes is a nice touch. Ron writing on Hermione's stationary, especially.

Thanks! The details nearly killed me as I'm a Photoshop n00b!

Oh! This was absolutely amazing and sooo much more than I had prepared myself for! Your characterization of Scorpius was sublime, and Ron and Draco were perfect. You kept them the characters that we knew from the story, but as adults, and I know personally how hard that is to do.

The letter flashbacks were fantastic, a really clever way to incorporate and give a sense of what had happened before. The only note I have is that Draco's note is, at least on my computer, very grainy and hard to read, but I deciphered it without too much trouble.

I loved the way you ended this and how you had Rose and Scorpius get together in the first place. And the "confrontation" between Draco and Ron was AMAZING, plain and simple amazing!

Thank you so much for this! I hardly have the words to tell you how much I loved it, so I'm going to leave it there! :)

SQUEEE! I'm really glad you liked it! I was kind of wibbly because it might have been too, um, fluffy for your tastes, but you liked it! *happy dance*

I'm editing Draco's letter as we speak. It is kind of grainy...

I went with letters because I thought they'd be more fun to write. They were!

As you can see, I took a risk with my interpretation of your prompts. I went with Scorpius asking Ron for Rose's hand rather than Ron finding out from someone else, which is the standard way it's been done.

Also, the confrontation isn't really a confrontation... I hope you don't mind. Ron and Draco are my favorite characters and I really didn't want them fighting.

We should be friends once reveals are up! :)

This was so much fun to read! I love love love the little touches, like Ron not having his own custom stationary and meeting his future son in-law at an ice cream parlor! LOL! I also like how Rose called Scorpius on his crush :) Very nicely done!

Yay! I'm glad you liked the Ron bits, I loved them too! Thanks for reading. :)
