Review:TenthWeasley says:
Hugo is literally the cutest thing ever. I cannot even... How do you write him so well? Because /of course/ it is like him, in some small part, to enjoy being part of a food fight and then to enjoy just as much the odor said fight produces. His little internal narrations and monologues just crack me up, and mostly because I think that in some small part, we all think like he does some time in our life. He is the eternally optimistic youth while at the same time maintaining vestiges of adulthood. At times. ♥ He is THE BEST Hugo, in short, and you deserve that title.

I have decided that you are going to teach me to write humor. Never before have I read a story that just genuinely makes me laugh quite as much as this one. This will sound horrid -- sometimes I laugh at stories because I'm supposed to, because that's what the author expects, but not here. You write /as/ Hugo as opposed to writing Hugo, which is a very significant difference, and one that is very much appreciated. And resulted in the fact that his entire exchange with Trelawney had me in giggling fits.

And Scorpius and Neville! ♥ I love that familiar camaraderie between the pair of them, especially now that Scorpius isn't a Hogwarts student anymore. It shouldn't work... but it does. There is something just so natural and appreciated about the pair of them working alongside each other in the greenhouse. :3

Myrtle! Amos! Hugo! Trelawney! More, please, more! ♥ (Not to rush you, ofc, because you are a busy literary mind.) O JOST LOVO YOO OND YOOR STORY OKOY. O SPOOK FROM THO BOTTOM OF MO HOORT~

Author's Response: I JUST DON'T KNOW. But it probably has to do with the fact that I'm a bit mental and so it's quite natural to let loose my cray. And you're right, though. I think I do write /as/ Hugo. Which is alarming, when you consider I have to have /some/ kind of control over the rest of the story and Hugo would just as soon bean the rest of the characters over the head for fun or get himself trapped in a bubble-head charm forever without realizing it...and that wasn't the exact direction I want to take this story in, if you know what I mean.

Er well first step is to not be afraid of making a fool of yourself. I also take the advice of our beloved literary hero, PG Wodehouse, and worry not about making a story realistic, but rather, having a good time and getting really entertaining characters out of it. With Adventure, it was a bit of a more serious story because it was Hugo out to find himself and reconcile himself with his outcast-y-ness from society, etc. But with this one...it's just like, whatever I think of and think is funny, goes. (That will be two galleons, plz.) And I don't count that as a horrid thing, in fact I can imagine that the authors might feel rather gratified that you're laughing when you should, even if it's only because you should. It just seems like the setup might appreciate someone who plays according to cast, if you will.

This chapter seemed kind of awks at first, especially with Scorp-o and Neville because mostly I was worried people would be like LOL WUT IS HE DOIN HEER but I couldn't find a way to tell his story without it being HEER IZ SCORP-O'S STOREE so I took it out then it was despair because I was like BUT I NEEDZ 2 TELL DEM. And there was a lot more but I'll spare you, haha. I think what probably made it work is that I have a whole other novel full of their interaction and we both sort of remember it, so it smoothes out some details.

Don't worry, there is much, much more to come! I'm so pleased you're enjoying it so far, and thank you so much for your reviews along the way! They are making it all worth it :)
