The plain meaning of baguette is simply "a stick", hence the wand (baguette magique) and the famous sort of daily bread, due to its shape (note that the smaller, thinner "ficelle" i.e. string exists...) But many of us don't consider the modern baguette to be real bread any moreThis must be my 3rd re-read and the story has lost none of its power. Must be the lake... (and I hope I didn't write the exact same thing aftee last year's re-read)

This story was so freaking cute, loved the growth of hermione and Snape’s relationship, the way it developed from grudging acceptance, to friendship, to love, so perfectly naturally. Also, really enjoyed the added complication of Ron’s condition and Molly’s grudge.

Lovely! Loved reading about the native people of Canada.

This was a really great story.

an absolutely brilliant change of pace story. well written and delightful, very different and very believable. well done. I loved the addition of the cabin owners wife..and such an intriguing connection to the Ojibway. you clearly researched and have a way with setting description.

I love the story of the windigo! I remember reading it in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

I don't really know what to say...! This fic is brilliant, calm and special in its setting (both the simplicity and the fact that it's the first story of this kind that I've ever read, with Hermione being so mature!) It makes me want to go to Canada! :D Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of writing!

What a treat! I adored this story. I loved how you portrayed Severus and Hermione falling in love.

Nice!

Incredible! Absolutely loved this to bits. Thank you for writing and sharing. :D

Oohhhh man. Your fluid writing makes it so easy to envision the image you've painted. I'm enjoying this so far and I can't wait to read the rest of it! :)

One of the best stories I have read on ff so far. Entirely original, incredible writing style, strong characters and exciting story line. I don't JKR could have done better. Thank you for sharing.

I love that Hermione and Snape have a small wedding, that things aren't perfect with Harry at the end and they find happiness not in having high powered jobs but by finding each other.

I don't know how I've never read this before. I loved it. I cried, I laughed. All the feels.

I got here through Gentrification. I'm loving that one as well...Plan on going through your other HP works. I'm enjoying myself. Keep up all your good work!

Lovely story!
