Always good to see Hagrid as he doesn't get a lot of fic about him. :) And this one gets him nicely -- the line "she understood that being slow didn’t mean being stupid" summed him up very well. I hadn't thought about him being so close to the Dementors, but that couldn't have helped matters! (Also good to see McGonagall showing off her teacher skills.)

"Course, she’d grown up in the Highlands. That, and she ate mice."

That line made me LOL. As did HAgrid's thought about Hermione cuddling "the little ginger animal". Hee. ;)

Excellent characterizations of both Hagrid and McGonagall. I absolutely LOVED this! :)

What a fine bit of character exploration; you do a marvelous job with both Hagrid and McGonagall. Your Hagrid voice is excellent -- just enough of the dialect to let us hear him, but not so much that it becomes intrusive. This conversation is so true that I felt as if I were eavesdropping on real people. Their mutual regard and concern is both believable and heartening.

she wasn’t squeamish about that sort of thing. Course, she’d grown up in the Highlands. That, and she ate mice.
Haha! Great line for both of them.

This is a beautiful scene - it sounds absolutely true to both of them; and the last bit about Crookshanks and cat-McGonagall is so funny ;-) .

An absoutely lovely missing moment, and such good characterisation. And this line is so wonderful:

That, and she ate mice.

And Transfiguring the hanky to blanket size! It's the little details, so perfectly observed, that make this story so good.
