Love it! Please write more!
Don't Trust The Silver Eyes chapter 1 . 10/28/2015
Uh! That was adorable! I loved it :)
FantasyCreator123 chapter 1 . 4/29/2015
I like it a lot!
DolbyDigital chapter 1 . 6/27/2014
I really like how you've characterised Rose in this, and how she's constantly trying to live up to her parents. I thought that the background information on them and the references to canon events were really well placed and fit in nicely with the flow of the fic. I also really like the relationship between Rose and Scorpius; they're a pairing that I really like, and I loved all of their interactions in this.
alwaysmarauders chapter 1 . 6/27/2014
This was prefect! I love this pairing, and I am really glad you chose to play out that relationship with them, because it is so much funner to read than ones where they are already friends. I can completely see the having a relationship where they play those games with each other and are constantly trying to one up the other. All in all, this was a great read. Awesome job!
DobbyRocksSocks chapter 1 . 6/25/2014
Aww :) I really enjoyed this, especially the way you strayed from making Rose a carbon copy of Hermione. I don't read much next gen to be fair, but the ones I have read mostly tend to make the relationship between them all Romeo and Juliet-y and I liked your take on it a lot :)

I didn't see any SPaG errors, and it's a really good read :D
TheChasm chapter 1 . 6/24/2014
This was lovely! It was a really nice glimpse into what next-gen Hogwarts was like, and I really liked how much depth you gave to many of the characters that are briefly mentioned in the epilogue. Rose and Scorpius's love-hate relationship was very funny and very realistic.
However, I noticed a few punctuation errors in dialogue, so maybe get a beta to look your work over? I also thought it was a little strange that Rose spent time with Lily, Hugo and James, none of whom are in her year; it might have been more believable for her to spend time with people in her own year group (perhaps some girls in her House).
This had beautiful characterisation and added a laugh to my day, so well done! I'm glad to have read it.
autumn midnights chapter 1 . 6/14/2014
I really like your characterization of Rose; her enjoyment of Quidditch is different than a lot of people's headcanons, where she's far more like Hermione, and so it was nice to see something different there. I really like the way you showed the sexual tension between Rose and Scorpius, also, and the rivalry that they have. It's nice to see something other than the 'we-absolutely-hate-each-other' or 'we're-totally-bffs' relationship that a lot of RoseScorpius fics start off as. SPaG was pretty good, and although I did notice a few small errors ('Mother', for instance, doesn't need to be capitalized unless you're using it as a name, e.g. "Hi, Mother." vs. "That's my mother."), they weren't distracting.

The main criticism I have is that it's very Weasley-Potter-centric. Although it makes sense that they'd grow up close to one another, the fact that James, Al, Lily, Rose, and Hugo only hang out with each other (and, to an extent, Scorpius) and family friends Teddy and Victoire seems a little unrealistic. I do wish you had included more OCs, even as background characters; I can't imagine none of them bringing their roommates to hang out with their family members.

I also want to point out that asking Teddy to take Polyjuice Potion to morph into Scorpius is unnecessary, since he's a Metamorphmagus.

Other than that, I did enjoy this fic. I really like the way that Scorpius's 'prank' on Rose at the Quidditch tryouts was unintentional, and how Rose insisted on getting back at him anyway - only to find out that he didn't actually care about his own tryout. I also love how other people picked up on the UST between Scorpius and Rose, also.
D-Savano chapter 1 . 6/13/2014
It was good for the first time :) I liked the fact that you made it adorable without any romance. Scorpius and Rose is pairing thatI love and you've done justice to it. I also noticed that you portrayed Rose in a normal and practical way.

ScoRose any day for me! this story made me smile a lot.
Kailey Hamilton chapter 1 . 6/11/2014
I'm awwing so much, and I don't even know why. I like the dynamics between them and how the unresolved sexual tension plays out. How it's obvious there are feelings of attraction but they channel them through a somewhat-friendly rivalry with pranks and jokes. Rose being good at Quidditch is a nice change from most people's headcanons, and the plot twist of Scorpius not even wanting to try out was brilliant. All in all this was a really enjoyable one-shot. Well done!
deletes chapter 1 . 6/11/2014
I liked the idea of Rose being good at Quidditch. My fav thing about this fic was all the mentions of Ron and Hermione and their time at school, and how that related to what was happening with Rose and Scorpius :) It was also interesting to see some of the other next-gen kids. I would have liked a bit more description of the setting, especially in the start, because I wasn't sure where they were in that conversation.
Kazavan chapter 1 . 6/5/2014
This is really cute. You capture the characters well, you can tell a lot about them from the way they are described :) I was particularly impressed with your imagination for pranks. There's a slightly irritating overabundance of italicised words, but thats really the only critiscism I have.
AHighAndLonesomeSound chapter 1 . 6/4/2014
This is brilliant! I think you write all the characters really well: I've been unwilling to approach writing the next-gen characters because I'm always concerned that I'll just make them sound like their parents. But you made them really unique and fun, and I loved the fact that not only did you put Albus in Slytherin, but you also had a friendly pranking rivalry between Scorpius and the extended Weasley-Potter clan. I think that fits nicely with the Epilogue of Deathly Hallows, with Harry and Hermione trying to make sure the kids don't grow up irrationally hating Slytherin the way that they did.
Ralinde chapter 1 . 6/4/2014
There are a lot of things I like about this. In my own headcanon, Rose wants to be a Keeper too and Scorpius isn't really into Quidditch, and it's nice to read a story where that's the case as well.
I also think the conversations between the cousins flowed nicely and it felt like each of them was well fleshed out. The fact that everyone but Rose realised what was going on was great.
I love that it isn't all lovey-dovey between them, but that annoy and prank each other.
I am, however, not overly fond of James 'stacking vials of Polyjuice Potion' for two reasons: 1. It is an extremely difficult potion to make and the ingredients are difficult to come by (remember Hermione had to steal them from Snape's office?) and it's not plausible that he'd go through all that trouble just to prank his sister. 2. From the notion that Barty Crouch Jr had to keep Madeye alive, I conclude that the potion can't be stocked for very long (otherwise he could have just made enough supply to last him a year and then kill of Madeye), so James stacking vials of it clashes with that.
