Thank you for giving my fic a second chance and that it did not disappoint.
I am sorry that I hit one of your "serious squicks" with my use of the term "Spring Break". I have to admit that I ran into difficulty with what to name Eileen's traumatic little foray into Muggleland, knowing the rest of the world does not celebrate "Spring Break" per se, but I was stuck on what to call it. One of my betas suggested "Easter Break" and that hit one of my own "squicks". As wizards and witches, my characters are - for the most part - not Christian, and therefore would not celebrate Easter, a decidedly Christian holiday.
I am open to suggestions on what to call the holiday - I will be making slight tweaks to the fic (cough - typos - cough) before I post it to other archive sites in the future, so a proper name would be appreciated.
Glad you liked my characterization of Mcnair. I don't believe that any creature is without at least one or two redeeming qualities.
