I loved this story. It took me a while to realize you were putting your 'mates' names in (babbling brooke... *groan*).
Loved Chloe and Norbert, especially the effects they had on their respective owners ^_^ (both gradual and immediate).
What hit me especially hard was not that Dumbledore gifted them these eggs (of course to cause trouble for a good cause), but that it was something that was usually handed down within family. It struck a chord.
