Oh, thank you, Mystery Author! That was really sweet. I loved the sense of family - and how those who aren't "officially" family like Harry and Hermione care as much about George as his own family. And Teddy to the rescue, hooray! An another hooray for Harry still being able to act like a Muggle every once in a while :D

I'm really glad that you liked it :3 I love the idea of Harry being adamant that he can be a muggle and then failing and Ron just being like o rly?

Very realistic portrayal (at least imho ;) ) of George's grief. It was great how the entire family tried to help. I loved Teddy's "knocking some sense" into George. Great job! :)

Thank you :3 That means a lot to me cause, well it is a sensitive subject to deal with! Hee! From the little we know in canon of Teddy, he strikes me as that sort of lad!

That’s an interesting look at the impact of depression on the other people in one’s life. Their incomprehension and hurt and well-meaning but meaningless suggestions were well written.

The key for George is, I think, We all miss Fred, but he wouldn’t want this for you. He wasn’t necessarily a ‘down’ person, so perhaps he can find some meaning in living up to his twin’s memory.

The idea of Harry and Percy running the joke shop is hilarious, by the way. I concur with Ron’s assessment of that situation and would love to see a fic about it!
