This is superb! I really like it! I look forward to reading more of this story!

Cue another rave review. I love the way you characterize people who don't get much stage time. Poor Millicent, appears for a few moments in CoS and pretty much disappears ever after (in my memory as well, sad to say).

Even if you can't think of what comes next, this is a great story.

Yay i love Milicent and I never see her portrayed with dignity

I like how you're portraying her here

keep going at it

wow

she is a really likable person

this is awesome

shame it never went any further

I like this. Millicent's voice seems rather clear and unmuddled, it's very simplistic, in a way that's sure to give a true view of the characters, and I feel like this is setting up for her to be an awesome person. I just wish there was a plot for you to go on or that this wasn't posted so long ago!

I really like this chapter. I feel like this story has a lot of potential. If you ever update I'm definitely going to keep up with this. :)

A friend of mine has, as an LJ interest, "all the fictional women you hate," and an essay explaining said interest. I think, after reading this fic, I will have to add Millicent Bulstrode to my own personal list of women I love who are disliked/ignored by their creator/fandom. Thank you for giving her a voice, and such a good one. Because she deserves it.

Please update this story. This chapter made me like Millicent and I'd like to know more about her.

wow, do you do this professionally? you should

Wow. Amazing beyond amazing. I cannot wait for an update!

Liked it so far. I suppose you will not update it, but its still worth a read :-)

I'm a bit of a cat person (rather like Ginny Weasley is purported to be) so when Hermione said Millicent had a cat, well, I couldn't really find it within me to dislike her anymore.

Also, she's barely ever mentioned, though infrequently is equated to something of Pansy's answer to Goyle. I wish Rowling would give the Slytherins a bit more depth (I wrote a bit on Parkinson, but it's not post-worthy yet) but the series IS about Harry. I'm told Malfoy gets to be a bigger prat in the sixth book, but I'm boycotting it - ought to have boycotted the overwhelming majority of the fifth as well, but that had too much action - I think I'm going to be eternally stuck at Slughorn's party.

I hate Slughorn.

It's years and books since you wrote this and we haven't really learnt very much new about Millicent in that time. She's still tall and plain, she has (or had in second year) a cat, she fought Hermione hand-to-hand in Lockhart's duelling club (it's amazing that wizards so frequently use physical force rather than magical - even the Death Eaters in OotP frequently resort to pushes and shoves) and, as a member of Umbridge's Inquisitorial squad, she pinned Hermione against the wall of Umbridge's office. Nothing in that to make her evil, though I'd say it's odds-on that she's not fond of Hermione. (But then who is, other than Harry, Ron, Ginny and readers? I'd say she comes across to the Slytherins as a snotty-nosed up-herself cow.)

God one! Millicent definately deserves her own story, and this is a promising start. I like her robust, sensible wiew on the world.

I could handle some more of this! Good stuff. Not that JKR lets Pansy off scot free - she's got a pug face, which doesn't sound very nice to me.
