| Thanks! I'm still plugging away at the next chapter of Ducklings, so hopefully I'll have an update sooner rather than later. |

Fantastic. I was gripped all the way through, and I really enjoyed your writing, characterisations and the situation which Rose and Scorpius found themselves in. The whole thing was brilliant!! Keep writing...

| Loved it! Absolutely loved it. Wonderful job, I think that Rose and Scorpius are my favorite "ship" right now. Thanks for writing this. |

| Thank you! I'm a great fan of Rose/Scorpius (they're my favorite next gen pairing and characters), so I'm really pleased that you enjoyed this. |

| This is really good. I love the start with James and Rose bantering with each other. James seems like he would be a lot like his namesake, Harry's father. That was good. Then the thing with the agressive witch! That was hilarious. Of course he probably just wanted to give Scorpious a chance to talk to Rose. That was excellent. Just what she needed. That and finding out that he really cared for her was good for her. The fact that she responded was excellent. I look forward to more if you choose. This sounds like a good beginning to more! p |

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing how much you enjoyed this. I agree that James is very much like his namesake.
Unfortunately, this was only meant to be a one-shot, so I won't be continuing. You might try (if you haven't already) reading the chapters of The Transformation of Ducklings I've posted here - the situation and characterizations are quite different from this one, but if you find you enjoy Rose/Scorpius as a pairing I think you might like it. |

This is a fantastic story. James is incorrigible; I can just see him camping out on Rose's sofa until she relented and agreed to go the the ball with him. I love his line, "Please, Myrtle, let me have Rose back." And then, when he hides from the preditory witch, I just howled.
I'm really glad for Rose that she's discovering how to live again. That first step out of one's protective shell is always the hardest and for her to have made the leap is a sign she's finally beginning to heal. And to think that lurking in the wings, just in case she's still a little fragile, Scorpius is there to help her. It's obvious that he's cared about Rose for some time and to finally get the opportunity to explain himself to her shows just how deeply he cares for her.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the start of a series of stories and that we, your readers, can follow the development of Rose and Scorpius' relationship to its conclusion. |

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I have to admit, I grew very fond of James while writing this - I think the term "scalliwag" is a very apt descriptor of him. Rose, of course, I've loved ever since I first met her in the epilogue, and I've enjoyed getting to know her and watching her relationship with Scorpius unfold.
Sad to say, this is a one-shot only, but you might check out my Rose/Scorpius WIP The Transformation of Ducklings, which I've posted here. |

"I don't know. Are you--" She glanced in the direction James had fled. "--campaigning for a seat at family dinners?"
Is it implyign what I think it's implying? :|

| I've had your comment sitting in my In Box for nearly a week now, and I confess I have no more idea how to respond to it now than I did when I first got it. Is this throwaway comment honestly the only thing that stood out to you about the entire fic? And what, exactly, are you implying by that particular emoticon? |
