Leela, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed this! I spent an afternoon stalking your journal to learn something about you, but the WWII England settling was indeed a happy coincidence. (In a completely different context, I ran across a description of the evacuation that mentioned the September 1 date, and so of course I thought about Kings Cross and the Hogwarts Express, which would have had both Minerva and Tom on it that year and...well, that's the story, right there, isn't it?)

I was excited to see Hooch on your list of preferred characters, since she's someone I haven't written before and that's always a treat. It was a bit difficult to think of a teenage Minerva, because certainly that woman never had an awkward age, did she? But she couldn't always have been that poised or stern or tart or slyly funny, and so I'm happy if something about this teen worked for you.

Again, thanks so much! I had a ball writing this story. M.
