i just love this. love this. you really went above and beyond. i love the back story, i love the twists and turns you took to make it canon compliant. i think you kept mcgonagall's no nonsense voice well while still letting her softer side shine through. the detail of lily giving birth at her house was so imaginative, it really tied mcgonagall to the story in a way that mine didn't quite capture.

i like how harry's letter changed, how he sent her small gifts. it was beautiful. thank you so, so much.
