Rare Pair Shorts

So wonderful to see Irma so alive and so vibrant, and so full of insight into what libraries are good for. Love her musings on her own practical research and the thoughts on watching paint dry (I second that it can have its appeal.) And it's great how you contravene the clichés of the librarian and the pub owner. Rosmerta loving the musical and performing arts is supremely endearing.

I'd wondered how get the two of them into a pairing, and you make it absolutely plausible. Love how you bring out the parallels between them -- the work on weekends, the lack of colleagues to blow off some steam with...

Amongst the particularly lovely lines, there are:
--It’s a testimonial to her excellence as a teacher that Weasley is still dreaming of Veelas, rather than fainting at the mention of a waltz
--Well, it certainly is a match made a considerable distance from the ground (Love Irma's wit!)
--Cinnamon-and-Nutella cake. Makes it hard to remain strong now.
--Charity Burbage’s latest publication, Ironing Out the Problems. Muggle Household Inventions and Their Influence on the Position of Women in the Early 20th Century
--clutter just happened around Rosmerta and simply didn’t dare near Irma I envy Irma for that!

And the redhead as luxurious Weird Sister. :)

I loved this!
