I am really enjoying this story. I always wondered how Scorpius would deal with the pressure from his family name but I don't think I ever saw him as a Gryfindor. I will definately be interested to see where you take that. Draco doesn't seem to have changed much since he was seventeen although I was hoping he grew into a slightly more mature man over time, instead of a clone of his dad. I like your Weasle-Potter clan thus far too so great job wit that! Thanks, for the great story, please update!
Oh, fantastic! Aside from the plot device of 'Scorpius wasn't paying attention and missed the song' ... ... it's all very good, and I can't wait for more! I never thought Draco would make a good Dad - look at his own father!
lol - only a boy would let food put such an important thought out of his head. You had me going for a bit there I thought you were goig to put Scorpius and Rose in Ravenclaw where everyone else seems to put them together.
And I have to admit i never thought about what George and Angelina's children would look like, I just let the thought that all Weasleys have red hair override logic which would mean dark genes would have an impact. Although my children are mkixed race and the oldest does not look like it at all.
I loved the portraits from the wall - nice touch

3: The Sorting of Scorpius Malfoy (Author Response)
I'm a mixed-race child myself (though in my case, my "flavors" are Okahumpka Seminole/Black on one side, Scots/Norwegian on the other. Both of my brothers are dark-skinned and haired, though Nathan has bright blue eyes. I, on the other hand, have blond hair, green eyes, and have actually had people tell me I was kidding when I told them I was the older brother of the dark-skinned guy next to me. George and Angelina's kids are both dark-skinned in my story, because I felt it appropriate.
And don't tell anyone, but this is not going to be a Rose/Scorpius story.
This is a totally amazing story. Your Scorpius goes right to my tender spot and I so want him to feel better about himself than he does. I'm hoping that his association with the Weasley/Potter clan will counteract any negativity his parents throw at him. He's a boy who needs a more positive influence in his life than bitter Draco seems to have accomplished.
I love how familiar and easy-going the Potter/Weasley children are with each other, right down to sharing family jokes with the new comers. I hope that as he gets to know his new housemates, Scorpius will achieve a comfort level that helps him feel like he really does have friends.
I read the first two chapters again to remind me what was going on. For a short while I felt like I was really there. Scorpius on the side of right is not a novel plot line, but your characters just feel so alive. More please!
That bit about Harry paying to get Snape a Chocolate Frog Card was brilliant! Snape will hate him for all eternity for that one! I can only imagine with great laughter what the portrait on that card does!!!
Three cheers! This is one of the best pieces of fanfic I have seen in quite a while. Seriously. I felt like I was actually at Hogwarts with the kids. Very nicely conceived and executed. Just a tad on the sweet side, but I really like what you've done with Malfoy. Clueless is good. It sets the story up perfectly. The level of detail given in the writing is excellent. I love the rich backdrop it provides.
Please continue - I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with JKR's characters.
Oh my. Please don't make us wait too long to see how things go for Scorpius when Draco finds out. I particularly liked the conversation between Al and Scorpius about the war. I look forward to the next installment! Thanks for a wonderful story. I really enjoyed the Sorting Hat. And Neville. So why does James know about the War if Albus doesn't? Is it because he found out at Hogwarts, but didn't tell his younger brother? More soon please!
... it's all very good, and I can't wait for more! I never thought Draco would make a good Dad - look at his own father!
