Socks!!!!!!! A little of the way in, I totally realized where this was headed, an I laughed because I remembered that Mirror of Erised scene before it came up in this story. A pair of woolen socks... :) so cute! I had wondered for a time why neither Albus nor Minerva ever married. Now I know.
Great story!
NIghtmares!!!!!!!! Aghh! Well written, but the visual of two... Well, you get the idea...

This was so cute. I've always liked Dumbledore/McGonagall, and I was glad to find this.
I love the use of the socks here. I've always wondered why Dumbledore saw a pair of thick woolen socks in the Mirror, and whether or not he lied about it. The socks were like a symbol of their love. I adore the history behind them. It's so cute that it is a McGonagall women tradition to give their man they love socks.
I thought that the romance was done very well. It didn't feel forced. I think that a lot of romance fics try to force the chracters together too quickly. I think that the romance had a decent amount of backstory, which is really helpful, especially in a one-shot.
I really liked this. I thought that both Dumbledore and McGonagall were IC, and the romance was really nice. Great job.

that was adorable. i really like the idea of why dumbledore wanted socks. really nicely done!
Awww. You can't help but smile as you read this. I loved all of the socks in this.
Early morning duly arrived and, as Albus rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he spotted a small package at the foot of the bed. Grinning like a small boy on Christmas day, he reached for the parcel, to which was attached a piece of rolled parchment.
That was my favorite part of the entire story.
this is a very good story! i loved it! i could care less about them being older! they are still cute!
I have read this story several times. I always come back to it when I need cheering up as it always puts a smile on my face
Very very sweet. I guess JK has always been hinting at a relationship between the two. Nice job!!
While searching for another story, I came across this one. Curious, I decided to read it and was awed by its simplicity and the interesting take on Dumbledore's fascination with socks (not to mention the ingenious family tradition, as told by McGonagall)! A great short story--and a wonderful read! THANK YOU!
Author's Response: Thank *you* for your kind words! :-)
That was so cute. What a lovely tradition. You know I thought of giving someone I care about socks for Christmas, but then thought she would think it inappropriate. After this story, next time I'll think twice.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! :-) Good luck with your real life sock story. ;-)

That was absolutely lovely. I think I maybe a little Dumbledore like, I'm somewhat upset when I don't get any socks for christams. It was beautiful, Well done!
