Oooooh, this is fab! I tremendously enjoyed all of it ... the story, the characters, the smooth flow of your writing, and the pockets in the evening dress! Your supporting characters are a lot of fun, from the friends (such a perfectly Ronaldy Ron *g*) to Madam Malkin and the party guests. And I really love your Millicent -- with the life she's carved out for herself, the insecurities that never go away, the friendship with Viktor, and her way of dealing with Parvati's prejudice.
