Harry Potter Golden Age

This is really, really wonderful. I love everything about how you wrote Ron and Hermione - his sense of humour (He'll learn someday — first loves never last." He looks at her, deadpan, with just the hint of a smile) and their warm relationship. Her coming out to him, his lack of understanding and how difficult it all was and how she tries to make it not a big deal - I just loved that scene to pieces. This is such a great treatment of someone coming out later in life, and the last line (and word!) made me smile.
