Very sweet. How about Winnifred? Teehee!

I always thought the twins were sweeties! Great story.

thanks

Very nicely done for the challenge. I love that you chose a Slytherin, and the hardship she would face from her family. Naturally the Weasleys took her in. Very nice to see a look at their family.I really can see Fred and George making that sort of pact to take care of a significant other. And I do think they would be attracted to the same girl.

wow the part at the end "She's nearly here, Fred: she's part of you", that was a really awesome way to end it.  It's very moving.  Thank you for writing it.Tamara aka

Such a beautiful way of saying goodbye to Fred. I am so gald you chose this prompt.

Fluffy, yet deeply touching.  Very enjoyable writing style.Well Done!Blessings

I liked the concept, and I liked how the Weasley's took her in...actually, I liked it all...I would have liked to see more fleshing out between segments, especially the development of Daphne and George's relationship.

The beginning of this story had me in tears, I really felt llike I was there grieving with the family. (I even wanted to kick Ron for being the insensitive prat that he is) The progression of the story was very believable. I usually shy away from stories about the twins but I'm very glad I read this one. Great Job!

I play Daphne Greengrass in two RPG's and I tend to have trouble reading her in fics, because it's not the Daphne I know, not MY Daphne. This one, however, seemed very close to her in many ways. Her doubts about the political stances of her parents, but having to go along with it at least outwardly for her own safety, and probably her parents' safety too. It makes me wonder if I know you...

It was a great story, very touching. :)

Very sweet.

I like the way you tweaked the prompt.  It was neat backstory with some hope for the future.

What a nice surprise... well written.

This is highly satisfying. *nods* Very satisfying. I can just see George do that. And Daphne as a partner is pure genius.

That was very nicely done. I can totally see George wanting to do right by Fred's would-be widow; having him be in love with her anyway is just icing on the cake. Great job!

yea, Daphne!!  I'm glad George will get to be dad to little Fred; it really is just like having his brother again.  You've got Ron pegged exactly right - prejudiced and insensitive git (grrrr....), but at least Hermione was there at Hogwarts to rein him in a bit.  THanks for posting this!

I love it! You are very talented.

I like your choice of baby mother (can't think of how else to phrase that, sorry!)  I'm glad that George convinced her. 

That was well written and a sweet love story.

Aww, this was a beautiful story. I didn't expect it to be Daphne Greengrass, but it was lovely.  I have tears in my eyes.

Very sweet story.  Nicely written!

You gave Daphne an interesting characterization that we don't get from her in the 'books.' I really liked the struggle between her parents and her true loyalties. George was so perfectly in character and I just loved him so much in this. I always saw him as the gentler of the two twins, so I think Daphne was really in a win-win when the both of them had fancied her. My only qualm was when Molly turned out to be totally okay with George and Daphne spending the night (in some hotel?) together. Call it a quirk, but that seemed a little OOC for the overberaing matriarch. Altogether well done, though! I'm eager for the unveiling so I can read your other fics and see what you meant by 'not your usual style.'

sweet and simple, very nice.

This is a really great story. I knew it must have been awful for George to lose Fred, and the idea of him leaving behind a girlfriend and child is really sad. You did a wonderful job giving that story life and conveying all the powerful emotions involved. And I am glad that George and Daphne can love each other (I really liked that line about if she can spare enough love for both of them, that's good enough for him), and can be a family. Although we now know that in canon, the girl is Angelina, I liked your use of Daphne—a redeemed Slytherin—as someone who can give George happiness.

i don't normally read the weasley stories but i like this one.  It was sad but you left us with a lot of hope.  thanks for writing!!!

I am here by way of Southern’s rec on potter place. I have to say I was struggling with the same worry as Daphne. What if she only loves George because of his resemblance to Fred? This was the perfect line “To love one twin is to love the other”

Well done.

PS: Please don’t George name the baby.
