This was...a freaking awesome story. :) You captured Cedric and Julianne perfectly. Cedric's got the whole noble-and-yet-real thing going on with his reluctance to break up with Julianne - and he's absolutely adorable while clueless. I think that Julianne's the smarter of the two, personally. ;)

I love the fact that this romance isn't about the physical stuff or even the romance. It's about discovering the line between friendship and romance, and figuring it all out. I think it's perfect that they stay friends at the end, rather than dating.

You've got the 13 year old boy thing down perfectly. That utter thickheadedness combined with sweetness was just lovely. I can see why Julianne wanted to kiss him. ;)

Anyway, great story, light read, and just glorious characterization. I'm so proud of you for this story, Shanae, you did fabulously. Go Hufflepuff! :)
