Scorpius is such a perceptive little thing, isn't he? I really like the contrasting families in this fic - and how each woman reacts and tries to get by. I'm still amazed that Harry and Draco do not seem to notice! It doesn't say much for their marriages, does it?
Author's Response: I'm glad you picked up on that! I don't want D/A and H/G to HATE each other, but I don't want them to have picture perfect marriages, otherwise this story would never happen! Thanks for the compliments, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic :)

I have to say this wasn't my favorite chapter. I felt Scorpius figuring it out was way too fast - only a minute into it and he figured it out, while Draco who's been married to Astoria for years has not figured it out in days. I know you want kids to be sharp/etc, but you also mention people see what they want to see. I'd imagine Scorpius would want his mother to be affectionate, and supportive of Quidditch.
I also felt Ginny's slip of "boys" was contrived and unlikely. And if the House Elves knew there was an impostor, I'd imagine they'd be required to report it to Draco. Not pretend as if nothing was wrong.
I found the Astoria/Harry section very believable and if she's to be found out it would be through Quidditch. The Astoria centered section was the best part of the chapter, in character, though Charlie singling her out was a little strange. I could understand it better if he came to talk to her after dinner, or she was his favorite sibling, that sort of thing. Also, wouldn't she have known his g/f-now fiance's name by now? Which makes me think that would have given it away, and if I had been her, I wouldn't have asked for the name, just in case it would give me away.
I liked how Astoria was in character here - looking down at the house before experiencing it and really enjoying it.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review :). I'm sorry that this wasn't your favorite chapter, but I will take the time to explain why I made the choices that I did.
First of all, one of the reasons why I think Scorpius is likely to notice, in addition to kids just generally being more observant about certain things, is because he hasn't been there since the beginning. Coming into something in the middle often gives a person different clues that something is wrong that someone else is likely to overlook. Also, if Astoria openly opposes Quidditch as he said, he'd have no choice but to believe that's what she means. I had Ginny say "boys" as an implication that both of her sons play Quidditch for Gryffindor. For the House Elves, I admit I didn't think that part all the way through, but perhaps it isn't something that they noticed until she requested something. Draco was already gone by then.
I did mean to imply that Charlie and Ginny were very close and that is why, when he noticed that she wasn't quite as excited, he wanted to talk to her. Asking her name wouldn't give her away because (and maybe I didn't make this clear) no one knew he had a girlfriend, which is why him getting married was a big shock.
I'm glad that you liked how Astoria felt about the Burrow. Even though Astoria is not the snob that many people portray her as in a lot of fanfiction, I still think she's got certain standards. Initially, I think she would find the Burrow to be "beneath" her, but then she would realize that sometimes the luxuries that she's always valued are less important than the way a family can make a person feel, especially in a family as close as the Weasleys.
I hope I cleared a few things up by explaining my reasons, and I actually am going to address a few of them in the next chapter to clear things up because I can see where you are coming from, particularly with the elves and Charlie not having a girlfriend.
Thanks again for the review; the next chapter will be posted soon. :)

Wow! I wasn't expecting Scorpius to discover the 'trick' so quickly. Clever boy. This should be interesting. And the house-elf knows too, so that's another thing to worry about.
Poor Ginny and Astoria. They were having a hard enough time keeping up with the charade when it was just the husbands to worry about, but family as well? Things are going to get very sticky, I think.
Author's Response: I think that sometimes adults see what they want to see and kids see what actually is, so that's why I had him be the first one to figure it out. Thank you for your review! :)

Yay for Scorpius! I love that he figured it out so quickly. At least Ginny will have an ally now.
At least for a week Scorpius will have a pro quidditch player giving him tips on dodging bludgers. Love this. I can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked Scorpius! I'm going to begin writing chapter 5 soon, I promise :)

(Saw this and another fic's chapter come in within 90 seconds of one another, my night was made.)
I sense this is around the halfway point for the fic, Scorpious's character was amazing in this, and I'm very interested to see how the Quidditch game plays out.

Of course Scorpius would be the one to see through everything. It's just keeps getting more intriguing.
Author's Response: I think adults are more likely to see what they want to see, while kids see what's there. I'm so glad you're enjoying this!
