Comments on the story Hand-Me-Downs

zymurgy commented:
Love the family dynamic in this! Very well played.

Springdruidess commented:
Overall I liked this story although I didn't really feel like the creature (Scabbers) was particularly central to the story. To me, the central aspect was the Weasley's poverty - which is what makes it a good story. I think you captured Ron's feelings about 'second-handedness' really well.

McGonagall's Cat commented:
Great insights into the Wesley clan. Loved the part where you had Molly stepping over the cat. Nice touch! <br />Good use of required words! <br />And poor Ron...everyone else has already claimed their fame, what's left except to be best friends with The Boy Who Lived?

AnimeEyeshime commented:
Cute! I like how Percy cheers up Ron--that's a side of him we don't always get to see. It feels short to me (--> says the girl who tripled the minimum word count for her submission...yeah, don't mind me...)
