I don't know if you'll ever see this reply, being anon and all, but thank you for the review. There's nothing to apologise for - long comments are shiny. I love them! ;)

I'm fascinated by the WW and how it actually *works*. The POV we got in the books was from someone raised in the Muggle world, encountering it all for the first time, and while that was totally necessary, I wanted to come at it from the other way, from a character to whom the Muggle world would be as alien as the Wizarding World initially was to Harry. The Wizarding World has been operately seperately from the Muggle one for at least a thousand years - that's a hell of a lot of history and culture, and we just got snippets of that in the book. I just hope the demands of the plot don't keep me from continuing to explore it.

And, thanks, thanks, thanks - I'm so glad you like it. X
