That was sheer brilliance! There is nothing a love more than BadGirl!Penny who completely compliments Canon!Percy. It's really sad how 90% of the fanfics and RPers out there, have Penny as stuck-up and boring, when from the little we see of her in canon, she is anything but. I mean, the girl who manged to get PERCY to break rules in order to kiss her, must really have something amazing about her.
Ok, I'm totally rambeling, but wonderful story.
Author's Response: So glad that you enjoyed it Jessica. I cannot say I'd really thought about giving dimension to Percy or Penny prior to this fic, but it just kind of came on me.
Thanks for the feedback.

I really liked that story. It's somewhat rare to see Percy as anything other than a plot device, though one does wonder what sort of person Penelope Clearwater would have to be in order to date him. This story addressed that nicely.
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you enjoyed this. To tell you the truth, I can't even remember what inspired me to write Percy, but I'm glad that I did. It was certainly a challenge to try and deal with the uptight Weasley. Thank you so much for the feedback. It is very much appreciated.

Eek! You have turned me! I could never stand Percy, especially in a sexual situation. In fact, I wrote a story especially to put him in his place. But ... but ... now, I don't know. I actually liked this. A lot.
Author's Response: Isn't it funny what fanfiction can do to our perception of characters. I could go on and on about my former squicks, Snape, Neville, Harry/Draco (okay so that one I don't so much like now as I won't run screaming like a sissy girl) But to tell you the truth, I was never a particular Percy fan and don't think I've been converted as of yet either, this story just kind of came over me. I'm so glad that I was able to write something that made you see him in a different light and thank you for the review! gryff

I think you've presented a wonderful explanation of how such an uptight figure could have a high school girlfriend while still keeping Percy in character - not an easy accomplishment. Usually Percy's type of character doesn't capture the affection of girls at that age and you found a basis for her attraction without changing his personality. Thanks.
Author's Response: Estrilda: I'm so glad that you thought Percy remained in character. As I've said before I hadn't really thought about him a lot, but this idea just kind of hit me and keeping characters as close to how I've interpreted them in canon is something that I have become a bit dedicated to. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and thank you for the lovely review.

I generally avoid Percy stories because I don't really like Percy, but you managed to portray Percy as stuffy and sympathetic all at the same time. Penelope seems just what he neesds in this fic. But I wonder, how does she let him get so caught up in himself during book 5? Are they still together in your version of events? I'd be interested to see how this relationship progresses. Best, Sophie
Author's Response: *laughs* I must say, I've never dealt with Percy stories in the past and hence, haven't thought a lot about his "issues" in book 5. But, if I were to think about it from my portrayal of the characters (and god, I hope I don't sound arrogant. I so know I am not JK) If this universe were to flow straight into OoTP, yes, Percy would still be with Penelope.
I don't see Penelope *that* different from Percy in this fic, just more observant. It was her first time as well, and she thought that he was brilliant. She was enamored by him and just wanted to get to know him better.
Penelope's intervention was partially selfish, but also to help Percy succeed in what he wanted. If she agreed with his position on Fudge, Umbridge, Harry, Ron, I don't know that she would discourage him at all.
More than you wanted, I'm sure, and I haven't read OoTP since it was released. But that is how I would fit this pair into the OoTP universe.
Thanks for the review Sophie and I think this is the first I've really received asking for a response. It's kind of cool :)

That was highly enjoyable. I always thought Percy needed to get laid, he's so uptight. WEll done! :)
Author's Response: Hi ARtemis,
I'm glad that you enjoyed it. And well yes, perhaps Miss Clearwater showed him how to "loosen his tie" so to speak :)
I'm glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you for the review!

I really enjoyed this! Read it through before, for validation...and it stuck with me. Had to come back and say so:)
Author's Response: Dryad. Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and that it was accepted for archival!
