Comment on Arrangements: Abandon What He Loves, And Burn [Originally "Alright at Hogwarts"]

    Pettigrew is alive. Though he was most likely tortured for screwing up the goblet of fire. Since Harry wasn't chosen, there will probably be very little in this story about Voldemort. I really don't have much on him. I might write in that Sirius fights for his freedom and Pettigrew is taken prisoner. I actually don't know, since I went off track for this entire story. But it's fine because it's interesting.

    Sirius has escaped, and Remus is with him. I think, seeing Remus was my favorite, will probably pop up again. They are both in communication with Harry, more Sirius than Remus, but that might changed.

    I'm not saying if Eleanor's exaggerating or not, you'll find out :)
    But yeah, Ellie will hate Cho. I'm pretty sure Cho is a year younger than Cedric, so Eleanor will see her for two years. (Idea so I don't forget: Cedric could fight for custody over Eleanor if Heather and Jake are also shitty parents.) We also don't know much about Eleanor. She could be blunt about everything, or more shy or come about things a little nicer. We don't know yet. Well, I do, but that doesn't count.
    And Cho is going to be just as annoyed Eleanor is there. She'll probably threaten our precious Ellie or attack her and get in a shit load of trouble.

    Also, (if you've watched the movie of goblet of fire) the Champions parents/family walked them out on the third task. Wouldn't it just be so happy and wonderful if Eleanor ran away from Heather to see Cedric on the third task. That would be crazy... :D
    Maybe I need to write something that isn't family drama. Or giving Cedric and Harry more trauma. Oh well, the next chapter's supposed to be fluff but I'm drawing a blank so it'll be out when I get motivation again. :)

    1. It would be nice to see Sirius and Remus again.

      Totally with Eleanor and Cho. They are not going to stand it. Things will heat up and could get worse.

      Regarding the idea. The truth is that I like it, although it would be complicated. More than anything, because I think that in order to do it, I first think he would have to become independent from his father and have solved Cho's problem. And I think that will take a while (I don't know how many chapters, but I imagine it will be until the third test)
      I suppose custody could be done after the tournament with Cedric graduated.

      Or maybe custody is sooner, just to see how Eleanor plans to separate Cedric from Amos and Cho.

      By the way. Has it ever been said what year Cedric is in during the tournament?
      I always see 6th or 7th year.

      The reunion of the relatives in the third test is promising. Seeing Amos and Heather reunite can only end badly.
      And seeing Eleanor sneak out to see Cedric would be amazing.

      If you ask me, I wouldn't put any more trauma on Cedric and Harry. They both have enough on their plate in this story. I would see it excessive.

      Can you imagine if Rita Skeeter found out about Amos' plans and Cedric's sexuality, only to end up publishing a story about the unfortunate life of Hufflepuff's golden boy?
      It would explode in a brutal way.

      Because I imagine Rita is there for the tournament.

        I agree, it would be nice if to see Sirius and Remus.

        I've got an idea of how Eleanor will act, and no matter what, her and Cho will be at each other's throats. But people will probably take Ellie's side, mainly because she'll be a first year and Cho will be sixth year.

        A lot of the things I try to plan for this are complicated, but seeing as I've got no idea how the law works, this would be even more complicated. I think the idea of Cedric and Eleanor being able to live together as family is very sweet, but they would most likely have to contradict themselves. I wrote in that Amos had framed Heather for the child abuse, and Cedric would most likely need to address that if he wants to sue Amos for it. However now Heather is doing the same thing to Eleanor. So that's a problem.

        Cedric !ight try to separate himself from his father sooner, but Amos wouldn't go down without a fight, seeing as he's already bribed Cho's family so she would marry him. Eleanor and Harry would be big reasons why he would separate himself, but also he needs to focus on school until he's an adult. And he still has another year of school until the supposed wedding, so he'll be good.

        And yes, I'm pretty sure it says that Cedric was a sixth year. It said in the goblet of fire you had to be a sixth or seventh year to participate.

        Heather wants nothing to do with Amos and Cedric. She believes that Cedric has become the same person as his father. That's why Eleanor could sneak out, since her mother's not paying enough attention in the first place. And it would be the first time they see each other in person, but I reckon Cedric would be very happy to see her.

        Yeah, I feel I may have made their trauma excessive already, which is why I'm trying to get them to live with it. Harry was never supposed to have this much trauma, since it's already not talked about in the books. But honestly, I feel I was reasonable with Harry, seeing as anyone who grew up like him has mental issues.

        I hate Rita Skeeter with all my might, and as, yes, I will include her at some point, she'll probably get her ass kicked. And if she does write about Cedric's poor childhood, I feel that Eleanor or Alice will force her to do it right. Kinda like when Skeeter wrote for the Quibbler, in book 5?
        It would go horribly for Cedric, though. Everyone would be around him, asking if he really grew up like that. And Amos would probably lose his job, and that decade-old court case would be opened again about Heather's child abuse.

        And Eleanor would have to be there and she'd probably be interviewed. That's a lot for a ten year old. But most ten year olds wouldn't sneak out of their house and go all the way to Hogwarts just to meet their half brother for the first time. Especially not around his "fiance" and abusive father.

        1. In the end, being younger will give you an advantage. Something quite Slytherin if she uses it well.

          On the subject of laws, I don't know what there would be in England in the late 90s, much less in the wizarding world. I don't think I've seen any.
          In that sense, you could take some liberties if you wish. And even make new laws.

          The fact that Heather is now doing the abuse she was framed for complicates things.

          In theory, by being in the tournament, Cedric is already an adult, right?
          It would be a good way to separate yourself by earning it and use the money to become independent. I don't know how old he is, actually.

          And Amos won't give up without a fight, that's clear. The bribe had to be big for Cho's parents to accept.

          I still think there has to be a long talk (even shouting if it happens) between Heather and Cedric.
          Knowing what Amos was like, didn't he do anything to help his son?
          Or maybe you don't care? Because seeing that she doesn't seem to be better than her ex-husband, things are going badly.

          Harry's traumas were definitely not handled well in the books, in my opinion. And it's all Dumbledore's fault for not going himself to see how he was when he was younger. Or send Mcgonagall if he couldn't go. It's something that always makes me angry.

          On the other hand, it's actually a great idea! That's why you are an author and writer.
          Honestly, I would love for this to be the way forward regarding Skeeter, Cedric's childhood, and the fall of Amos.

          It would be a good final stretch of the story.

            Shhhhh we don't know her house yet. :)

            I don't think a single thing in this fix is gonna be realistic at all, whether it's to the HP books, or to the real law.

            Yes, technically Cedric's should already be an adult. But for this story we're saying he's sixteen and maybe Amos bought Cedric's way in. Don't ask me, I didn't think that far.

            Amos would rather Cedric die than marry someone other than Cho. And the fact that not only was this bribe huge, he also played about four years in advanced.

            Heather has a good reason not to want anything to do with Amos. He was a horrible husband and a horrible father. But she didn't even try to take Cedric with her. Yes, there will be talking between Cedric's and Heather. As well as Cedric and Amos. Though, I doubt either will go well.

            The way Dumbledore NEVER even spoke to Harry for ELEVEN YEARS is crazy. Like, leave him with prejudiced relatives until he goes to school? Really?

            Rita Skeeter is someone who seldom writes the truth. She would probably end up writing something crazy that's completely untrue. Something like Cedric and Cho WERE getting married... Imagine what the problems would be like if it was put in the Prophet that Cedric and Sho were still getting married after Harry and Cedric shut down the idea. Imagine if Cedric went behind Harry's back and he didn't out until the wedding... Oh, but we have to have a happy ending. Cedric could always do a specific something in his vows... I don't know... Shine the truth on the people at the ceremony and completely embarrass his father? That would be crazy... :D

            Just ideas. Just ideas...

            I know how I want the story to end, so no spoilers. However, seeing as how I've already gone off of my plan and we're nor even half way done, that could change.

            1. Yes, we are advancing events ahead of time.

              I don't understand then why it has to be with Cho and not with another girl. What is Amos' plan? Apart from making Cedric's life miserable, of course.

              It definitely doesn't seem like either conversation is going to go well.
              Maybe it would be nice to see a little regret on Heather's part for not taking Cedric with her. Maybe it's asking a lot.

              As for Dumbledore, even at school, it seems like he had everything planned just because of a stupid prophecy. He should have looked for other avenues and helped Harry more.
              It's always going to be a bad point in history.

              And if, in addition to embarrassing his father, he stood up, grabbed his wand and had the killing curse on the tip of his tongue, it would be total madness.

              Even more so, in front of all the guests, including the judges who gave him custody of his son, who would look at everything in speechless astonishment, while feeling enormous guilt for the sentence they made in the past.
              Harry and Eleanor would even show up and punch Amos each before he could say anything.
              Yeah. It's a mess. 😆😆😆

              On the other hand, we are getting a lot ahead of ourselves. But it's good to share ideas and assumptions. ☺️☺️☺️

              For the next chapter, I would skip ahead to before the first test.
              I think that Harry, in the midst of all the commotion that his revelation has caused, to take a break from it, can go visit Hagrid and he at the same moment tells him about the dragons.
              Even Cedric, Alice and Hermione can accompany you.

                Well, I chose Cho because I don't like her character for no apparent reason. I wanted a better reason to dislike her.

                I guess we'll have to see how Heather reacts, 'cause I'm not saying

                With the wedding disaster, I have a few ways it could go. I won't say anymore, but I really like all of them. I might write an 'alternate ending' just so I can use both.

                I like sharing ideas, it's good to write them down so I don't forget.

                Yeah, This chapter (study hall) was placed a few days before the first task. And Cedric already knows the task, because Alice told him. But he doesn't know anything about the dragons, so that could work.

                This next chapter will be mostly fluff, and I'm having a little issue with motivation and having time to write it. But I'll try to get it out soon.

                1. As a child, Cho's character made me feel indifferent.

                  Today it does not change. In both books and movies, he seems to me to be a superfluous character and contributes nothing to the plot.

                  I'm curious about your version of it.

                  Regarding the wedding, as you prefer. Although an epilogue of several chapters looking at the future of Harry and Cedric would be nice. As well as that of the rest of the characters.

                  Oh okay, I didn't know about Alice (or remembered). Hagrid's thing seems like a good idea to me.

                  As a note, I have read another version of the fourth year in which Harry and Cedric seek advice for the first test from Newt Scamander.
                  I found it curious and quite original.

                  The important thing is that you don't force yourself to write, find the muse and from there let it flow.

                    Alice is an original character. It's just projecting myself basically if I could change .myself in any way. I do that a lot in writing, whether I put myself in a canon character, or an OC.

                    I think I do want an epilogue, but I don't know what it would be. However, I do have an idea for a different fix that I could write, it would basically be something that "Alice" wrote. It would be how she wrote it, it would project her past, and future. I only have this idea because of the title of this fic. I want to do something with it, but I won't tell you what just yet. I have a few too many ideas, but some of them would have Harry and Cedric break up, and then through some miracle, get back together. I don't really like it, but I NEED to include the wedding. So at one point, Cedric and Harry can't be so happy.
                    Another big problem is so many different people could stop the wedding, or convince Cedric to stay with Harry, or tell him to run away, to name a few. Alice, Harry, Eleanor, even Heather. Maybe Cho could have a redemption and call off the wedding or pretend to cheat or something. There's so many different endings to this, but I don't just want to pick one. So I'll probably have a few single-chapter fics that are epilogues to this story.

                    I know I probably shouldn't reveal my ideas in the comments of my chapters, but nothings set in stone, so it's fine :)

                    Yeah, I know I shouldn't force myself. I remember putting "slow to update" in the tags, just to force myself to put time between posting chapters. But, of course, I immediately noticed when I didn't write. It's been about a week since I added a chapter, and that's just because I have shit going on and school's starting up again. I was able to write a little more, but I've realized that I'm absolutely horrible at writing fluff and angst just comes easier to me. That will be a problem, but I can live through it. I've also never written smut before this book, which honestly scares me. And I cringe at almost everything, which is probably why I can't be bothered to re-read my shit to look for errors. No, I do that AFTER I post it. Don't know why, it's not productive.

                    1. Curious. It does not seem common for there to be characters representing the author of the story himself.

                      Having many ideas is always good. The complicated thing is which ones to choose for the story and which ones to discard.
                      About Cedric and Harry, actually, I already thought they were going to break up at some point in the story. Even if it is temporary, I think it would be a turning point between the two.

                      I just hope that reconciliation is not by magic (excuse the redundancy 😂😂😂).
                      Emotional above all, I think it would be ideal.

                      On the other hand, if you're going to do single-chapter fics as epilogues, maybe it would be okay to make this a series?

                      Notice that the opposite happens to me, I am barely able to write anguish. And whenever I do it, it usually doesn't last more than 2 chapters at most. Let's not even talk about an entire work. I don't even think about it, wow.

                      Yes, I have written stories, but I have never published them. My writing is not very good so to speak and I don't know very well when to separate between paragraphs.

                      The same thing happens to me with obscenities. I'm only able to take off the character's shirt and I don't get any further than how blushing I get. 😳😳😳

                        I mean, I've seen authors represent themselves in different ways, and I remember being in a group chat where we basically just talked about our OCs.

                        Yeah, it's kinda inevitable that they'll break up if I want an ending that shows Cho's and Cedric's wedding. It makes more sense. Sure, I could make it so they run away until they are both adults, and Cedric is comfortable to come back. But there's no fun in that and all my good ideas have a wedding :)

                        I've thought about making this into a series already, where there's a follow-up to this. Basically it would more about Eleanor's freedom and then going into Hogwarts. It would overlap a little, nut it would be showing her life a little more. But yes, I probably will put this in a series. And if I do, those fics may be a little longer, depending on how far out I have to go to change the story.

                        I think it's also a good thing to focus on more happy chapters. Don't worry about it, if you enjoy writing it, who cares if there's not angst?

                        I totally get not wanting to publish something. I, unfortunately, always end up comparing things I do to other people, and it makes me enjoy things less. I've gotten better at it, but I still always hesitate before posting fics. I was in a completely different fandom when I wrote on Wattpad, and now I don't have access to my account at the moment. Which sucks, seeing as I was doing oneshots for people. It's been fucking months, like eight at least. I remember saying it was issues around Christmas, which was true. I don't even know how I screwed up as to not be able to access the account. It's very frustrating.
                        But while I was doing my first fix there, at the end on of my close online friends told me how my writing improved a lot. I was jumping around my room for a solid ten minutes. Knowing my writing probably sucked a lot more than now, it makes me really happy. I know my writing style can still improve, but I can fix it with time. And so can you. I get not separating paragraphs, I have a hard time reading those because it's just one big chunk, but I don't think the writing itself would be too bad. Plenty of people on this website don't separate paragraphs or don't care about grammar or spelling.

                         

                        I think for obscenity, it's less blushing and actually cringing. Like, "did I really just type that out? That sounds so weird," but I'll read the same sentence on someone else's fic and I'll have a straight face.

                        Maybe it's just strange I can read it. With a straight face.

                        1. I guess it makes sense, since if they had to write OCs with a very different personality than the author, it would be more difficult.

                          On the other hand, do you think that if Cedric and Harry escaped, they would come back? I'm not so clear about it.

                          At most, they would pay a visit to their loved ones and then leave again.

                          It's a good idea about Eleanor and her freedom. Although perhaps it would be a bit excessive to cover his 7 years at Hogwarts.

                          Of course, it wouldn't be strange either, given Cedric's case.

                          The same thing happens to me, I can't help but make comparisons and in the end I get down.
                          I will have to improve a lot and, perhaps someday, I will be encouraged to publish something.

                          What a mess about Wattpad, right?
                          It's very bad that this happens and it doesn't seem like anything can be done. At least for the moment.
                          You write quite well, and there is always room for improvement.

                          Something similar happens to me about obscenity. You read it in a story and nothing happens, I hear when it's time to write it, it costs me a lot and then I don't dare to reread it.

                            They'd come back eventually. Harry and Cedric would miss their friends, and most of them wouldn't even know Cedric's situation. Harry would want to explain, and Cedric would also probably want to see Eleanor again.

                            A fight for Ellie's freedom would definitely do happen during Cedric's education. It would happen one Harry and Cedric are settled, even slightly, and he's in a better place. He has to have at least sort of a happy ending. Which means that I could put it in a different fic, once this one's over, as a sequel.

                            When I posted my first fic, I planned the entire thing out and stuck to my script almost entirely. It made the whole thing a little less fun, but I liked it. I think that if you do have an idea for a fic, try writing some of it first before publishing. Maybe a few chapters, depending on how long it is. Just so you don't get tired immediately or writing. I can't bring myself to discontinue things, yet there are stuff I should've.

                            Thanks, I know I am improving, but I can't really see it. Probably because I won't reread it for the life of me.

                            1. Could be. Although I'm still not sure.
                              There would be many explanations, that's for sure.

                              Things about Eleanor would be complicated, given that there is still the problem of Amos and the wedding.
                              Unless the wedding was during the summer of Harry's 4th or 5th year or in the middle.
                              We should also look at Heather's role and the struggle that there surely is.
                              Much less, Heather's inability to admit that she behaves like her ex-husband.

                              I hope it encourages me sometime, because it's not about ideas. I have a few.
                              Then there is the language problem, which probably means that they are not widely read.

                              Not that I care much, really.
                              But it is still a barrier.

                                The wedding would be after Cedric's seventh year, in the Summer. So right before Harry goes into his sixth year.

                                Oh yeah, Heather would never admit she's acting as bad as Amos. There would have to be a real big wake up call for that, like her husband telling her or Eleanor having a change in attitude based on Heather's behavior. Like, if Eleanor's was a lot.more cautious around her. But, if Ellie were to not give a shit, it would work.

                                Yeah, the language barrier is bad for me too. Like, I want to read these things, but I can't understand them for the life of me. I also can't keep up with trying to learn another language. I've tried with French and Dutch, and a little Spanish, but I never got far with any of them. Most of the works on here are English, which is nice for me, but for other people, it's a problem. Maybe it would be nice to have an auto translation thing onto AO3. It would be useful.

                                  His last years at Hogwarts are shaping up to be his worst.

                                  I hope that at least graduation will be a more pleasant point.

                                  It's funny how it seems that almost no one will know about Cedric until probably the same day or the day after the wedding.

                                  Regarding Heather, I agree with you. I don't think he'll admit it unless Eleanor comes forward.

                                  I have very basic English. Almost every time I read something I understand it. The problem comes when I have to speak or write it.
                                  I get nervous and in the end it doesn't turn out well.

                                  Of course, an automatic translation function into each person's language would be nice.
                                  Until then, I'll settle for Google's.

                                    Graduation for Cedric will be a big turning point. I really like graduating speeches, and Cedric will definitely get one. I wonder what he'll say... :D

                                    Cedric never wanted anyone to know about the wedding, mainly because it was obvious he hated the idea of marrying Cho. No one would know unless Cho, Alice, Cedric, or Harry said something. The only one of those four who would is Cho. But she's incredibly petty, and someone will beat her ass if she says anything. Of course, if we were to go back to the Rita Skeeter idea... Cho isn't above making that woman do her dirty work.

                                    Even after Eleanor comes forward, she could try and blame Ellie's accusations on experiences that didn't really happen, like brain damage. Or, she could say Cedric tried to manipulate her, Heather would do that, as well. Eleanor would have to convince HEATHER, not the people around them. Because, really, who's gonna believe a ten-year-old? She would need a lot of evidence, a good lawyer, and a witness. Also, if Amos had faked evidence to make Heather look guilty, then Heather would simply do the same thing with the opposite affect. She would make herself look innocent. Of course, ahe might not, and this idea of Eleanor's freedom isn't even set in stone.

                                    It makes sense if you get nervous. Honestly, don't worry about it, you don't have to write in English. And if you Don't want to post your work at all, that's also totally fine.

                                    1. The speech hadn't occurred to me.
                                      He simply thought that Dumbledore would give the valedictory speech and the recent graduates would leave on the boats they arrived on in their first year.

                                      I assume you don't want anyone to know about your forced engagement. Although I don't know how willing Amos would be to bring journalists to the event. I don't think he cared.

                                      They would definitely believe an adult over a minor. Ask Harry, he knows his stuff.

                                      I wouldn't be surprised at all if he falsified evidence. Both in the case of Cedric and Eleanor.

                                      Who knows, maybe I'll publish a story.
                                      Although I have read that it is difficult to understand how to do it, especially the labels.

                                        I was thinking that either the Protects give speeches, or just Head Boy and Girl.

                                        If Amos were to bring journalists, they would've been bribed a shit ton of money so they would shut out any of Cedric's complaining. And, if and when the wedding goes south, and turns to shit, they'll just pretend it didn't happen. And wouldn't write about Cedric's accusations against his father or Cho.

                                        You've just reminded me that Amps would definitely try to incriminate Harry. I read a different fic and the Daily Prophet had basically said Harry drugged Cedric. I feel like Cho would try to play Victim, and say Harry manipulated Cedric and "she only wanted the best foe him" or some shit. Just an idea, maybe Cho and Amos will show their true colors.

                                        Difficult how to post? Yeah, it gets a little annoying. The tags... They aren't too hard. I mean, you get 75 you can use. You don't have to have that many though. I don't really know which part is hard. It's annoying, sure. But besides that, it's pretty much fine. Unless you meant something else.

                                        1. It's also true. I had not realized that journalists can be bribed.

                                          Amos would try to do the same as with Heather. Just like Cho.
                                          Harry would probably put up with all the hate mail and brush it off. Until a letter arrived with a particularly bad curse, which would make him go to the infirmary and, because of this, Cedric would explode and not keep quiet about it. He would complain and not be intimidated anymore.

                                          If it's not too much to ask, what's the name of that fic you read?

                                          No, don't be mistaken. That's what I'm referring to.
                                          When I read fics on this page, there are times when the authors write that they have a hard time publishing. But they learn little by little.

                                            If journalists can put out false information, they can definitely be bribed. That's just the way it is.

                                            Thing is, Harry might put up with it even after something like that, just because he doesn't want to give them satisfaction. And Cedric normally stays out of things, but if it comes to Harry getting hurt, he might try to separate himself so Harry doesn't get hurt.

                                            The fic is called "Irresistible Attraction." There's also a sequel called "Linking Hearts." It's by a user called Harmione95.

                                            I myself don't really see how hard it is, but maybe I do and I just set it aside because I've dealt with more difficult shit. But yeah, they learn.

                                            1. Unfortunately it is true. That reminds me of Harry's 5th year and what he had to endure between the fake news from the Daily Prophet and Umbridge.
                                              Which, by the way, I don't think it appears here, right?

                                              Exactly, that's Harry. It supports everything and more. That's why he needs people to protect him. And teachers too, already.

                                              Regarding Cedric, honestly, I don't see anything changing. Even if they broke up, Harry would still get hate mail or get picked on.
                                              The only way I see to leave him alone is to let time pass and let things cool down.

                                              That, or having all of Harry's friends up in arms against his accusers.
                                              Which would end in many people in the hospital wing, arrests, and Cedric deeply regretting and feeling guilty for not having helped Harry sooner.

                                              Ahh okay. Yes, I have read them both.
                                              I followed it from its first chapter and I like it a lot.
                                              It's my second favorite Hedric fic.
                                              Just below one.

                                              Which by the way, chapter 18 has just been uploaded right now. ☺️☺️☺️

                                                What, Umbridge? Probably not, but I might have a way. Maybe something with the fact that Harry Crouch is still the DADA Professor. But, it's not likely, mainly because I hat Umbridge too much to include her.

                                                Oh, no, you're right. Nothing would change if they broke up. However, Cedric would still feel guilty and potentially break up with Harry to "protect" him from future backslash.

                                                What's your favorite Hedric fic? I might be reading it already, but maybe not.

                                                Cedric would feel guilty, yes, but if people end up in the hospital and get arrested for his case, he'd just think it's his fault. He'd try to separate himself from everyone, just to protect them. It's the trauma and self-hate getting to him, and it probably wouldn't end well.

                                                1. I understand Umbridge perfectly.
                                                  It may be an unpopular opinion, but I consider her the best villain and Bellatrix would come next.
                                                  Voldemort doesn't seem like that much to me.

                                                  It is clear that nothing would be solved if Cedric separated. But that's why he has Alice and I suppose he also has friends who try to help him in any way they can.

                                                  My favorite from Hedric is called "Stay Alive For Now" by 'cedricsboyfriend'.

                                                  I have some catching up to do, so I plan to reread it from the beginning.

                                                    I agree with that. Well, it depends if you want to go with emotional damage or physical, and how you rank what they did with each thing.

                                                    Yeah, nothing would come from Cedric separating himself, but that doesn't mean he won't :)

                                                    I d don't think I've read "Stay Alive For Now," maybe I'll get into it.

                                                    1. I highly recommend that story.
                                                      It follows the events of Rowling's version very closely, but with some changes.

                                                      For me, and perhaps this is an exaggeration, it is the new canon of the franchise.
                                                      It's just an opinion, but I really love it. A lot.

                                                      Take a look at it at least. Just to see what you think.

                                                        I definitely will take a look. It sounds like it's good.
