Holy crap you're amazing! The ingenuity of writing from a muggle's view is beyond me . . . Thanks for gifting us all with such a masterpiece!!

Author's Response: Oh, wow, thanks! Your review just made my day! I find it easy to write from a Muggle's point of view because I, er, AM a Muggle! And I would hardly call this a masterpiece, honestly, but really, thank you so much! ~Annie

This is really intriguing. The idea that Bellatrix didn't ever picture herself becoming such a person is actually a nice one, but it leads to the question - how did she end up that way? I liked the play on the Christmas story, but I can't imagine a pureblood member of the Black family being allowed to take Muggle Studies.

Author's Response: I had fun writing this story. I especially liked writing the ghosts. This Christmans story is a spin off of the chaptered story, Bella Rosa (as I'm sure you realize). I don't know if I ever outright mentioned but the point of Bella Rosa is explaining how Bella turns into the most evil and hated witch in the Harry Potter universe. Remember how she describes the woman sitting at the table--not very attractive. She just doesn't see herself sinking to such a low level. And, she's still at the point where she's really not totally sure of what's up with the Dark Lord. Right now, she admires his power. She covets that power. She's trying to figure it out. I think Dumbledore was the Headmaster at Hogwarts when Bella was a student. He made Muggle Studies a required course as opposed to an elective. Bella used it as an opportunity to learn about the odd, pitiful things called Muggles so she could walk in their world and take advantage of some of the fun things to do. That's how she's fitting into Gabe's world at the moment. She looks like any other beautiful woman. Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: Thanks! Thinks definitely step up a notch or two from here on out... but I won't say more than that. ;)

Really good chapter!! keep up the hard work!!

Author's Response: Thanks!

OMG mixed feelings :P

Author's Response: Hee hee. Me too, a little bit. :)

I liked how you integrated the darker side, the more malicious side, of Bellatrix with the rebellious, Muggle-loving character of Bellatrix that you've put in your stories.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for finding my story and reading and especially for reviewing. When I write Bella, I feel like I'm balancing on a tightrope, particularly at this point in my story. I also feel like I'm going against the grain when writing her too. Most of the time I just write like myself:D Bella is a rebel and she's conflicted. She has to hide this Muggle boyfriend but she'd kind of like to show him off. She wanted him as a pretty toy but she kind of loves him. As time goes on, she's really going to get conflicted and confused. But for now, she's having fun. Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad I found your stories also.

Interesting fact about Jacqui!! I liked seeing a chapter of this from the trio's point of view . . . Jacqui's ignorance was getting old :) Very sweet ending to the chapter . . .

Thanks. We’ll be returning to Jacqui’s perspective next chapter, but there will be more third-person chapters, too.
