	I have been a Holmes fan from way back and was so excited to see this crossover. I think you captured the characters really well and it must have been difficult to keep Watson's voice so well throughout. I really enjoyed this and was a bit surprised but happy to see Draco dragged along as well. This was a lot of fun, thanks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. It was a challenge to see if I could describe the HP characters through the lens of Watson's POV and still keep them as the Snape and Potter we know. Draco just had to be there otherwise it would never have happened - he insisted and who am I to argue? Thanks for your comments. (Reply to this) (Parent)
