Ravenclaw love. I really like it. It took me a bit to get used to your version of Terry and Michael, but I like them. Anthony is good too. Basically, yay Ravenclaw boys. But I really did like the way this was written. Descriptive but not excessively so. Most of the time you showed instead of told... Though I think there could've been more showing. Still, really good.

Favourite lines:

Calling Gryffindor "the House of the Impulsively Stupid"

""I've tried reasoning that with my brain for the last hours, Terry, and I've reached the unpleasant conclusion that the Gryffindors might be right and sometimes reason can't overpower emotion.""

""You have your OWLs face""

The whole interchange about how they aren't stupidly brave, but rather rationally brave and that stupid things are sometimes logical unless you're Gryffindor.

I was referred to your fic by WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot, and might I say that I am very glad that I chose to read it. Your fic was wonderful! I loved how you showed the Ravenclaw Trio as being as brave as Gryffindors, but with the cool logic and resilience of Ravenclaws. Excellent job!

Amazing. I loved your take on the Ravenclaws, especially their reasoning :) Micheal was awesome.

Read this first over on livejournal, but I had to comment here as well. I loved this story and everything about it, even though friendship fics aren't always my thing. The depth of the emotion was beautiful. You can really feel what the characters are going through. Everyone should read this fic!

Excellent fic. I always thought that people did not give the other houses enough credit, so I really thought this was wonderful!! Bravo.

Wow, I absolutely adore this.

Your characterisations are absolutely perfect - you've taken every little piece of canon and extrapolated it so well, and I love your interpretation of these boys. I think my favourite thing, though, is the parallels between houses, but also the similarities. That is one thing I wish Jo had stressed more in her books, and you've done it so well. Definitely favouriting.

I love this. I love the friendsship between Michael, Terry and Anthony, and how all the students look out for each other, especially the younger ones. I loved the inter-House rivalry in spite of the horrble conditions they were living under - "House of the Impulsively Stupid" is wonderful! And the Ravenclaws' rationale for being brave was just brilliant.

Great story.

I loved this! It was a horrifying glimpse into the Hogwarts the left-behind students came to know, and it was written realistically. I loved your little turns of phrase - House of the Impulsively Stupid (I laughed at that one), etc. But Gryffindor isn't the only House with brave students.

A well-executed story - thank you for sharing it!
