I'm not even quite sure where to start. First, massive kudos for pulling me in so quickly. I'm not a big fan of either Umbridge or Filch, but your version of Dolores grabbed me quickly by being completely true to canon, but not making me squirm. It was in the very beginning--with the bit about the fairy--that just grabbed hold because it gives us that little flavor of what growing up was like for her, and where she came from.
And her personality just stayed so PERFECT through the entire thing. The moments when she is looking for tradition, and the moments where she is almost flustered. Just absolutely beautifully done. So very very good.
