First of all, it's always cool to see a fic title and recognize it. That song is one of my favourite Oasis songs.
Second of all, loved it, once again. Everything about it. Theodore standing up for Neville, the Regulus-hat thing, Mrs Longbottom's nasty comments. I have no idea why, but I kind of like her. She has an edge that makes her a character you can't really like but also a character that sort of means well but just doesn't know how to act and she's also just very conservative and strict. Apologies if that made no sense to you.
And having seen The Winter Guest, the casting makes perfect sense.
Third, I have to mention something I should've put in the comment I left for The Coast Is Never Clear but I just couldn't really write anything of substance after reading it.
I just love the character dynamics between this pairing. I just love the way they connect and how the feelings between them are. Their love is like, it's so effortless and easy, they just fit together like that without it being too complicated or troublematic. It's not an angsty pairing in the traditional sense, but there's the tension that comes from the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin thing. It's also not a mushy pairing where the sweetness just makes you want to throw up, but it's still very cute and sweet and adorable.
A large part of this is all due to your writing, to be honest. I can imagine the pairing with these sort of characterizations being less interesting in the hands of another writer. You just created a Theodore and the characterization is so real it works on multiple levels. Makes the character multi-dimensional.
Tell me if I'm being over-analytic. Anyway. Great work.
