Very nicely done! I've always thought that Poppy and Minerva would be good friends! I also love how you've tied in all the other characters as well. Really cool! :)

Hi Alcina,

it is fun, to let Minerva and Poppy have those walk through the snow (with me sitting in the warm and knowing our snow melted :D).

You got me with the Longbottom boy, I first thought, it was Neville ;) Frank seems to be a bit different from his son *gg* There were another pair of twins like Fred and George? Poor teachers! ;)

Traditions play a big part in the magic world, not only to Albus. I like it, those 'girls' hold on to it.

H&K an many greetings

Callie

A good story I like Poppy but so little is ever done or said with her and any time Minerva is less stoic is always good.

It is amazing how well some stories work with not much happening at all :-).

The atmosphere of this winter walk really draws the reader in, I feel right at home in your story so to speak. And I certainly know the feeling of finding oneself talk about something one did not really want to waste time on, just because it is the "easiest option".

I love Poppy's /"Well, I stayed because you stayed. I don't care much for being all alone on the holidays."/ and the resulting "heavy innuendo"...
