Author's Notes: Loosely based on the tale of The Ugly Duckling by H. C. Andersen and the prompts ‘Weasley bashing’, ‘negative-minded Draco’ and ‘Hogwarts Era’. From Wikipedia: ‘The Ugly Duckling (original title: Den Grimme Ælling) is a literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875). The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from his neighbors until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a graceful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better.’ ♥

The fandom really needs to start giving constructive feedback instead of just praising every single story.

Don't get me wrong--I wholly understand your frustration, however, allow me to defend the most of us by saying we're all looking for a fairly easy read--the people here who commented enjoyed the story, to each their own? I personally don't think everyone here is leaving a nice comment for the sake of leaving a nice comment--logically, people who do not enjoy the story, do not bother leaving a comment, yes? Just an FYI, nothing personal!


Note to EVERYONE:
Constructive criticism is most welcome in this fest, just make sure to sign in on your respective accounts. We all know that constructive criticism is crucial for the improvement and progress of every literary work, but please stand by your comments--state the mistakes, explain the factors, and allow the author to explain and learn.

Also, when someone leaves a constructive critique, please do not flock on the comment, just continue, ignore, and do not maul the person.

Thank you!
