“Roger was a Ravenclaw,” George said with mock thoughtfulness. “Ravenclaws are a bit dim to begin with, but they eventually come around.”

Yes, Roger has flirting down pat!   And you can imagine how someone as loud and self-confident as George Weasley would have affected Lisa over the years. 

Roger has a strong sense of justice - so it's really Padma's use of the word from the newspaper reports.  But more on that later.  Thanks for reading!

I was *such* a Remington Steele fan! LOL.  That's funny, but I never thought about that pairing - but you perhaps you can see my subconscious influences.

I'm so glad you're reading - lots of Joseph Campbell stuff ahead!

You know, you keep doing this to me St. Margarets. You pick out two characters who are so out of the picture, so on the fringe, that no one else writes about them. And then you craft a story that delightful, romantic, and entertaining. And I can never turn away. Never.

Even with your great H/G stuff, I think I like these more. Your story here with Roger and Lisa, with (hopefully) some ties to the Lee Jordan story, and the other H/G stories you've written, well...its something special. I like that you can take such characters that are just a shallow foil, or a placeholder in the series, and give them life, give them a story, that's meaningful and entertaining.

As always, I look foward to more chapters in this ongoing tale, and I definatly look foward to the next adventure of the obscure character you decided to take on. Happy writing, and I'll be reading...

I'm going to give you a link to Gabriella's journal.  She just put up a scene from the fic. she is writing about the twins all getting together.  She also wrote an outtake between Padma and George that takes place right after Lisa leaves in chapter two.  She promised to put that up today.  Thanks for reading!

When I saw Gabriella DuSult's snippets of her longer story about the twins, I knew I had to have it in my story.  She was very generous to loan Padma and George out.  You'll see more of Padma.

Roger does have his little boy moments - I think of that scene at the Yule Ball when he couldn't talk coherently to Fleur. LOL You'll see glimpses of that as well.

Thanks for reading!

Oh!  Lovely!  Just in the nick of time, right before my snacks ran out.  Excellent fluff.  I'm going to run out of superlative adjectives before too many more chapters. 

Interesting bit of light on Roger.  Hmm. 

Kudos to your excellent beta on such speedy work! 

Wow -- who would have thought to put George and Padma together -- that's pure genius!!!

But enough about that -- back to the main couple -- I love how they closed down the pub and Lisa's consternation at feeling on par with the waitress as far as Roger's charming smiles were concerned.  No Roger POV in this chapter?  I am anxious to get to know him better so I can help Padma revise her opinion of him.

Amazing, I know - twins marrying twins.  I hope you are inspired to keep writing!

More Roger in the next chapter! (It's a good one, I promise!)

Padma,  I like this Roger.  Leave him alone!

George--delightful as ever.

Lisa,  go for it.

Oh, Roger can handle Padma! LOL.  And she is just a loyal friend doing what loyal friends do.  :)

I'm glad you're warming to Lisa, she really has an interesting backstory.  I do like the idea of Midnight Quidditch, so I had to throw it in there! :)  I was so tempted to have a painting on the wall by Holly Jordan at George and Padma's house (of a Lotus since that is Padma's name) but I didn't want to throw the reader out of Lisa's story. :)

Harry and Ginny are on Hathaway Estate - didn't you know? LOL
