Just brilliant! I'd forgotten just how much I enjoy a little Mad
Martha story! Especially this kind, where nothing earth-shattering
happens, but there is a lovely little snapshot of a happy couple just
getting on with real life.

I sympathise with Harry's underwear shock as well. Is there anything
worse than Y-Fronts? Every time I see then I ask myself why they
haven't gone out of fashion, and out of the shops, with codpieces and
longjohns. Purple and sparkly sounds lots better. I think I'll be
keeping an eye out for that combination myself.

Ron in particular, but Harry and Sirius written wonderfully as usual,
just brimming over with life and wit and their own unique take on
things. Plus, it's always nice to see Hermione. I think you do her
very well, even though you do seem so nervous about writing her.

The "Skivvies Party" would be a fun little story! Oh go on!

Alliance ship, Cap?"
"Absolutely. What's 'sanguine' mean?"
"'Sanguine.' Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means 'bloody.'"
"Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it?"
