Very good still reading

Dear Viridian,

This is my favorite fanfiction ever. Anytime I meet a new Harry Potter fan I suggest that they read this. This must be my fifth or sixth re-read. I cannot wait for this story to continue.

I do have a suggestion, should you ever go back and edit.

Wool yarn doesn't burn. Trust me; I work in the textiles industry. Acyrlic yarn (the most common synthetic substitute for wool) will only melt. Cotton could burn, but it is highly irregular to use cotton in knitting, unless you intend the item to be summer weight (not Weasley sweater material). I understand that this is magic we are talking about, but maybe she could set her knitting pattern on fire or the bamboo knitting needles on fire. It is physically impossible for wool to burn. It just shrivels a bit. That is why it has been traditionally used for fire blankets and rugs on hearths.

I hope that you are recovering well from your health issues.

Please keep writing.

Thank you.

Molly is learning quite a bit.

So far, so brilliant! I'm going to be up until midnight, and the cat can go catch a mouse. Do you know, my only fear of death is that I'll leave something good half-read? You are now on my 'finish before death' author list.

Nice parallax view of the story thus far through Molly's eyes; that aspect reminds me a little of "Or Die Trying," which is essentially a parallax view of the entire canon from Year Zero (that is, the year before Harry arrived at Hogwarts) through the eyes of a very appealingly drawn Cho Chang.

Speaking of whom, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with Cho in this story; I'm assuming Harry will be taking Ginny to the Yule Ball this time around, not using his foreknowledge and greater confidence to get to Cho before Cedric does (what I would be inclined to do if I wrote something like this -- I have no animus against H/G, but I am one of the remnant band of die-hard H/C shippers).

This was an excellent PoV change to show Ginny's perspective through Molly's eyes.

Such fine writing.

I love the way Ron was embarrased about his good grades. I could see that happening if canon had gone that way.

Great stuuf!

When I was a kid, 50 years ago, Mom would try the warm milk drink. Ambien works better.

You've got Molly just right.

i'm not very good at leaving reviews. i would just like to remark that chapters that start out like this one are my favorite. I enjoy the introspective part from another character's point of view. it makes it more...real, i guess is a good enough word. deepens the word that you've created into more of a 3 dimensional world than just a fan fic. I believe that there's another chapter in this story where you have it from Ginny's pov. That was another of my favorite chapters. would you ever do one from Percy's?
