Reviews for Tolerable Measures
Very nicely done. It's a very real problem and an amazingly elegant solution from Ron. I love that Lucius can see him in a new light with a measure of respect and Snape's responses were just perfect.

Thank you! It took me forever to come up with the solution. ;)

I like the way you did Ron. I always thought that was how JKR meant him to be. He's a pretty basic bloke with flashes of brilliance now and again. Afterall, he's good at chess. Now I want to hear how the campaign went.....
Response from devsgma (Author of Tolerable Measures)
LOL Thank you! I rather like this Ron myself. The campaign? Hee! Mockridge lost by a landslide! ;)

Lovely! Thank you for a plausible solution for a problem I have had for quite a while with my magical manor ;)

Yay! Ron saves the day, at long last, a little bit of lateral thinking goes a long way. There was a whole story, behind that sad little smile at the end.

Yes, I had fun making him the hero, but at the end he doesn't get the girl. :(
Response from mick42 (Reviewer)
Well not that girl, but I'm sure there are plenty of other ingredients in the potion.
Response from devsgma (Author of Tolerable Measures)
LOL! Yes, and someday he'll find the right one to make his potion turn out PERFECT!

It's nice to see Ron get the credit once in a while. I loved his solution, BTW.Beth

Thank you! Believe it or not that simple solution took me months to think of. I almost gave up and started writing a different prompt.

Cute! Ronniekins saves the world instead of Granger/Snape. ^_^

Dear devsgma.This was so much fun to read. You made me laugh out loud. Well done. Keep writing ... please.And to the reviewer Chaoticclara: You are not alone. I like Ron, too, and I sometimes think the "Ron-bashing" goes over the top.
Response from devsgma (Author of Tolerable Measures)
Aw, thank you so very much. As I, too, am guilty of doing the "Ron-bashing" it was rather fun to have him be the hero of the hour. It honestly wasn't planned out that way, but I do love it where he's sort of dismissed during the whole meeting, but manages to come up with the solution. ;)

Darling Ron. I sometimes feel as if I'm the only SS/HG-reader who actually *likes* him. The way he just assumed everyone had had the same idea, and somehow discarded it for being too studpid, was wonderful - and very like him.I really like this piece. All of the people were in character. And Lucius' role was perfect! Wonderfully done.

Aw, thank you so very much. You want to know the really funny part of this story? It took me AGES to come up with the solution. I almost gave up and chose another prompt to write. ;)
