![]() ![]() ![]() Did a reread. What a wonderful story. so glad to see a HEA! |
![]() ![]() What a lovely story! Thank you ever so much for sharing it with us. |
![]() ![]() ![]() So Ginny is still a fangirl in this and even has a scrapbook but still gets with Harry? Gross. |
![]() ![]() ![]() it is sad how Luna is left out of everything even when she was such a loyal and good friend to Harry from the start.. |
![]() ![]() This time I want to adress clothes. Fabric was VERY expensive. Most people had only one set of clothes. Nobles might have as many as five or six sets that they had acciered one every two or three years. Washing the clothes in a large household, like Hogwarts, happened a few times a year! Clean clothes ment at the time, not wet with freshly spilled stuff and perhaps freshly brushed off. |
![]() ![]() Pyjamas, giggle. Either you slept naked in a bed, usually with several other people. There was a lot of status in who lay where in the bed. Or on a bit of straw or whatever you could find fully clothed. |
![]() ![]() Exiting story but REALLY, choclate and potatoes in the year 994! Both of these are from the americas! Even nobles only got hot choclate in the 15th century. Potatoes were considered an ornamental, poisinous flower until late in the 17th century in Europe. Omelets with ham, giggle. The frying pan was not invented yet. Boiled eggs yes, a small piece of airdried salted ham and porrige or perhaps weak broth with whole grains boiled in it are more propably. I will keep reading this story for the fun storyline, but really, check your facts! As you can easily se english in not my first or even my second language, sorry for the spellings |
![]() ![]() Please don't take my few remarks too seriously! But, hard as it is to imagine England without it, tea was not introduced to Europe until the mid-16th century. People drank ale or wine, depending on where they were in Europe. Beer provided nourishment (one of the B vitamins) that might be in short supply for the poor. Further, the mild alcohol content served as an anti-bacterial agent in the days before public clean water and sanitation. |
![]() ![]() I have ignored (and will try to do so with future chapters) your misrepresentation of early medieval Britain—ahistorical at best! But I flinch when confronted by chocolate cake, or in a previous chapter, potatoes. Neither were introduced to Europe until the 1500's along with tomatoes and corn (maize), tobacco and a variety of other foods and products. Should you wish to try from curiosity, you might try turnip fritters, like French fries (chips) in a beer batter and deep fried. It sounds odd but I have made them and enjoyed them. I have a collection of medieval recipes in a 'medieval' cook book. You can now ignore my comments and I will return to the story. Cheers! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Such a great story! I have absolutely loved reading this. Thanks you for writing it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for another great reread! Sure hope you'll find your way back to writing HP at some point. |
![]() ![]() ![]() please take the upcoming snark with a big grain of salt. I am tired and have a more than usual a need to share my thoughts. Also, i havent finished reading the chapter, so there might be an explanation coming... I don't mean this as an insult, just venting a bit. But why, oh why, did you take a phoenix, a being of fire and air, take the fire out, put water/frost in its stead, and then try to sell that to us as a form for a fire elemental? If it was for the air elemental aspect, sure. Still a bird, still valid. But why did you take the fire away of the fire form? GRAAAAHH! more seriously though, i really enjoy reading this story. thanks for sharing it with us. |
![]() ![]() Lovely story! |
![]() ![]() If Merlin can heal bones, why didn't he...heal Harry's bone out in the meadows when he first found him? |
![]() ![]() Yucky that GinGin the Rabid Fangurl is being foisted off on poor Harry. Love a sentient Hogwarts! |
