I'm really starting to like Miss Thompson!  She seems like just the kind of teacher Harry needs, and I'm looking forward to watching both of their characters develop as you continue the story.

It's neat the way you wound the story of Sirius and Pettigrew into her "dream" tale.  I wonder if that was just a fun anecdote meant to amuse Harry, or if it was shades of the future?  I hope to see more soon!

I really enjoyed this fic, and I wonder what would have been the effects on Harry's self-confidence if he had had a teacher such as Ms. Maggie during his days in Muggle primary!  I, too, am an American schoolteacher, and I really enjoyed your portrayal of the "first-day jitters" as well as Maggie's determination to be fair to her incoming students!
