I already mentioned that I love this fic, right? And that you had me from the "...like some stupid boy" line, right? Awesome. XD
The way you've represented these characters during their school years is just superb. They're very clearly them, with their most defining characteristics in place, yet so much more... teenager-y. That is, you haven't just written them as grown-ups in younger bodies; they feel like younger, fresher, not-fully-matured versions of themselves here. They're on the verge of coming into their own, but they're maybe not 100% comfortable in their own skin and identity yet (particularly Minerva; Pomona has always been more down-to-earth -- no pun intended).
And YES, you've hit upon exactly what's so appealing about Minerva -- what's so appealing about any reserved, controlled, buttoned-up character, really: the thrill in being the one to see that all come undone. Pomona, being the natural, open person she is, completely gets that even when her friends have no clue. Fantastic.
And brilliant last line! Haha! Yes, this fic is definitely a keeper. ;D
