What a lovely piece of work. The rhyme is perfect to the most wonderful story. It makes me happy.

Love what you "show" instead of "tell"!
Examples:
They had a party the day Eileen's boy cut the cat-flap in the door.
and:
It was Filch who caught her carrying her cat out of Snape's quarters at six in the morning.

I like it. I'd forgotten the rhyme. Thanks for writing and sharing.

This is one of my favorite nursery rhymes. I love the way you added HG and SS to it. Eileen's boy indeed!

Oh, this was just lovely, really lovely! I hope I'll be seeing you at Infinitus.

SO CUUTE!!  I love the use of the rhyme in the story!  It's just so adorably Cute! the way he bribes Crookshanks to reel in Hermione...  The Cat flap is the perfect closing line.

Loved this...the nursey rhymes worked their majic through you...well done

This is cute. And a lovely story of two broken people who help each other rebuild their life.

Love it, dicky.  Fabulous drabbles about healing souls tied perfectly to a nursery rhyme.  Quite insprired.

What a fantastic little story.  It is short and sweet, but gets the point across and is heartwarming.  I loved the last line... such nosy old neighbors :)

They had a party the day Eileen's boy cut the cat-flap in the door.

That is one of the best last lines I've ever read!  Well done.
