Hogwarts Duo is made up of two best friends (Ang & Lisa), living in different states unfortunately. Due to our mutual love of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall and our awesome friendship, we decided to have a go at writing stories featuring the dynamic duo of ADMM. That's how we got our name...Hogwarts Duo for both ADMM and Ang/Lisa! Our stories aren't posted here (see fanfiction.net or the ADMM board for our works) but we do enjoy the stories on this site.
Reviews for Hogwarts Owls
I had not realized I had not reviewed this here. I love this missing piece of the story. But it makes sense that Minerva was behind the owls, lol. I can well imagine her anger at the Dursleys. And it is certainly deserved. I also love the way you portray Albus and Minerva's relationship. I have always imagined they would be a loving and supportive couple.
Cheers,

What a great concept for a story! I loved it! It was wonderful to see all that Minerva went through, and how she became increasingly determined and angry as time went on, as she tried to get Harry his Hogwarts letter.One of my favorite scenes in the fic is the one in which Minerva is "conducting" the letters -- it was fabulous! I could see it in my mind's eye very easily, and it gave me a laugh, too!And, of course, I also loved all of the Albus & Minerva scenes, the wonderful affection between the two of them, and the yummy cuddles and snuggles! I am very sure they had a terrific time on their holiday -- a very warm and terrific time! You can't have enough sweet ADMM lovin' in the world, so thanks for that!

Thank you SOOOOO much for the review and for giving the story a look through for us. Very much appreciated.I'm glad glad you liked that little scene with Minerva "conducting" the letters. That was a fun scene to write and I can only hope it came across as well in the story as it looked in my mind. And of course, it wouldn't be a Hogwarts Duo story without a little ADMM lovin'. They're just so cute you can't not give them a little cuddle, snuggle, "warm" time together. tee hee.
Loved it! Especially all of the wonderful romantic moments between Albus and Minerva. Funny I had never thought about the back story of who orchestrated the delivery of Harry's letters. Your story is completely believable and could fit right into canon. Never mess with Minerva McGonagall! Thanks.

Thank you so much for the review, Esmelle. The story idea hit me on the way to work one morning and I called Lisa (my the other half of the Duo) and told her we had to write the story. After that, we were off and running. We're very pleased that you feel it would fit into canon and was worth taking some time to leave a review! Much appreciated. And you're right ... never mess with Minerva McGonagall!!! tee hee
Hahaha! Is that my problem? That I'm not a witch, so that's why I'm not as amorous with my husband of (only) 17 years? I'm trying to come up with an explanation, but that's the only one I can think of. That and maybe not actually having any children of their own to drive them batty!
A good explanation of the origins of Harry's letters from the Wizarding point of view. And funny! ^_^

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the story and took a moment to review it. We had a lot of fun imagining each step of the way and how Minerva would react and then counter attack.
I have to admit, the thought of Minerva and Albus having sex squicks me out but your summary sounded so interesting I had to read it. I'm glad I did! Very nice story. I love reading fics that show what happened behind the scenes.
Response from HogwartsDuo (Author of Hogwarts Owls)
We're very flattered that you took a chance on our story, despite not enjoying the ADMM side of things too much. And I'll be the first to admit that some pairings turn me away from stories, too. But, I am very happy that you enjoyed the story, took the time to let us know what you thought, and we hope we didn't disappoint with the "behind the scenes" glimpses in the delivery of Harry's owls. Much appreciated!!!
Very cute and sweet. Minerva's plotting is delightful.
Response from HogwartsDuo (Author of Hogwarts Owls)
Thanks so much for the review. We're very happy you enjoyed the story and found Minerva's responses to the Dursley's fun to read. They were certainly fun to imagine and then to write.
What an AWESOME idea for a story! And I just LOVE this line.*snip*She was usually the first contact some children had with the magical world, and that thought alone made her smile. I hope to review again when I'm not so bleary-eyed, tired.

Well, I loved the set up and the way the book works with the old magic from the four founders - I loved how you established what a warm and loving relationship the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress have - not only as leaders of Hogwarts, but as husband and wife. I dearly loved their playfulness and subtle alludes to their love making.The details follow canon so perfectly and it was just awesome to watch Minerva bulldog the Durleys - *rolls eyes* as if tearing up a letter is really going to disuade Minerva or Albus?This is a story I'm favoriting and will, for sure, be reading again and again.
Response from HogwartsDuo (Author of Hogwarts Owls)
Wow, we're blown away by your review and SO VERY PLEASED you enjoyed it enough to want to favorite it and then read it again and again. It was tremendous fun to imagine what must have been going through Minerva's head with each new step in the letter delivery process. I could just imagine her getting more and more frustrated while Albus tried his best to keep a cool, calm head and give the Muggles a chance to do something right for a change. And a Hogwarts Duo story wouldn't be complete without a little ADMM flirting, kissing, and romance. They're just so cute together and we couldn't resist!!
