Oh, my God, yay! So much yay! Delphi's going to love this fic, and so do I! You really capture the flavor of the Discworld, and I can't praise you more highly than that except, perhaps, to say that this is so much fun! *dances*

*snorts*

I love your Hermione and Severus, as well. :D

Thank you! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the fic. I've never written Discworld before, so was a little worried I wouldn't get the feel of it right, but apparently I did okay! Yay! =D

Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment.

Delphi's going to love this fic -- Ahahahaaaa! How right you were XD

Whee!

That was a fun read.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. =)

Wonderful...fun, I believe is the word of the day. I particularly liked your use of Old Tom for dramatic effect. I can't actually recall Sir Pterry using it in such a way but it certainly fits in with the feel of the UU. Good to see the Death of Rats looking after some poor otherworldly creature with no Death of its own.

Thank you.

Old Tom tolling silences just seemed like too good an opportunity to miss! I have the feeling Sir Pterry has done something similar in one of the books (or perhaps I'm miss-remembering) - I know he's certainly done the speech thing before.

I adore the Death of Rats - I'm afraid I only killed the graphorn so that I could work him into the fic. Ha! But I think the Grim Squeaker would ensure the graphorn gets where it needs to go. =)

Eeeeee!! So excited :) Can't read now as I have to dash for work -- ah, but tonight, such a treat waiting for me!!!!
