You’ve given the house-elves another level of depth, and that is no easy thing to do.

This is wonderful! I really loved your insightful, honest and slightly romantic Winky and the glimpse she gave us into both the Crouch household and Minerva’s relationship with her ‘beloved’. A lovely, touching, and thoughtful piece.

Fantastic! I love the way you’ve combined the issue of marriage equality with Winky’s outsider’s observations of wizards and witches. Your Winky is a lovely person—loyal, self-aware, tender-hearted—and the Crouches are lucky to have her.
