.... Xenophilius Lovegood banished that ghoul straight into the Burrow, didn't he? Tsk tsk.

Very cute! Although I didn't realize that was supposed to be Xenophilius. I see "blond" and my mind goes "Malfoy" XD

Thank you, mystery author! What I love about this story is the way you've really captured the wonder of the trip to a child - it's a series of mini-adventures, one after the other. James really reminded me of my nephew - enthusiastic one minute and grumpy the next. I think it's really hard to write children well, but you've managed it perfectly. I also liked the foreshadowing here - the way you slip in references to names that will be familiar to the reader, but not to James. And that last sentence? Heartbreaking! Thank you!
