AHHHHH!! Lovely and sad and charming and wow--you really have captured the doubts that a less-than-perfectly-formed older woman has about her body. I really understand what Minerva's feeling because I'm an older woman with a much younger husband who sees beyond all of that and simply loves me. Thank you for using your gift to bring those thoughts and feelings to life.
I adored this. Your descriptive passages are so lyrical. Well done! :)
Wow, yeesh! That was a... uh... er, new look at McGonagall. But it was definitely the most interesting story I have ever read. LOL. I give you a 10/10 once more for creativity beyond my wildest dreams and for putting together two more very unlikely characters as you did in the first story I reviewed. *shakes head* McGonagall and Potter, yeesh.....
Author's Response: :D. Ah, you're reviewing me lots *soaks it up like the review whore she is*. Honestly, this pairing came into my brain from nowhere, and I had to write it.
That was quite beautiful! I'd love to know more about the significance of the locket. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Wow. Even though the McGonagall/Harry pairing does not interest me much, the way you put words together, the way you describe her feelings for him, and the way you slowly seduce the reader into loving them, oh, it's priceless. I especially liked the way you put the italics (was that just her imagination or did it really happen?), it can just tear your heart apart with love for them. Please, please write more and never stop writing! We can expect a lot of things from you, you know! lolz best of luck. bloodie~
