I loved how this was written. It reminded me a little of flipping through a photo album, getting to see little snapshots of their relationship, watching it grow and unfold in a way that's just lovely. That first encounter, where Millicent kissed her because she couldn't stand Granger's uppity remarks, and Granger's lovely reaction to that, how wonderfully bold she is. I love when her Gryffindor really shows through, and you're so good at writing her like that. And then when she undresses Millicent for the first time, and it's so sweet and tender, but also hot as hell. And the ending was so bittersweet, promising to write and visit and all. I'm an optimist and choosing to believe that they keep those promises.

Millicent's voice in this is lovely, just her tone and everything. This is one of the amazing things you're able to do. Millicent Bulstrode is a character so far below my radar that I don't even have a headcanon for her, and in just two thousand words you've made me care. <3
