awsome fic - one of the best and most cerebral fics I have seen here so far

Lovely.

OMG I love this! Absolutely wonderful mystery story :)
I like how it's solved, and I love Minerva's motives, and I love Kingsley investigating.
Love everyone's characterization too - especially Lee and the twins.
Their banter is enjoyable to read.

Thanks for the story!

Very cute, very original story !

Ha ha ha I love it! Wonderful piece, I'm so glad I found your writing!

Nice fresh take and like the insight into Hogwarts life when the trio was away.

Good story! Thanks for writing...

I have had this story bookmarked for a couple years now- I read it during a paper-writing break in grad school, and saved it to review later, and never did, but in reviewing my bookmarks recently I caught it, and had to let you know how this story has stayed with me. There are not enough fanfiction stories about Kingsley, or McGonagall, and this is not only one of my favorites about either character but one of my all-time favorite stories that I have read in all of HP fanfiction. The one-line image of young Sirius finishing his stack of toast along with his schoolwork has always stayed with me, particularly in its context of Kingsley thinking back and comparing the memory to Sirius post-Azkaban, and I love your crossword clues; I love that this is a proper mystery contained in a oneshot and I of course love the reveal of who is responsible for the crosswords. This fits perfectly into canon for me; great work!

You did really well in putting the clues in the crossword and I love the whole mystery theme of the story. I never expected HER to be the one giving out the passwords... But for good reason.
I also love how you gave the hints to her identity in the beginning itself, as a simple sentence. Of course, now I know the answer, I feel like slapping my own head. I feel it was very obvious only now.
And how did she insult him? Didn't she insult Rita?
Could you explain the last crossword question (Slot a belching sky elk into Ministerial position)? I didn't get the meaning. Neither for 'Girl heard the old famous Auror'.
I really loved this! Hope you write more stories like this!

Great story! :) I was in suspense, reading on to find out who Wise Owl was and why! It was just like a detective story. I'm absolutely hopeless at cryptic clues though I must say, I've never really understood them. Very well-written, very creative with excellent characterisation, and I thoroughly enjoyed the big reveal at the end with Kingsley explaining how he came to his conclusion.

Nice story. I liked the relegation of who was leaking passwords and why.

Very clever and most enjoyable, thanks for sharing!

I automatically knew that Holmes quote as that is my favorite story. I applaud you on a story well written

This is a great story!

Awesome stuff! I've never understood cryptic crosswords, so I was a bit lost when it came to the clues, but oh well. I was also thick enough to not realise that 'Royal' and 'River' actually meant something in relation to Kingsley and Lee, so I had to look that up :$ Thanks for involuntarily giving me more HP knowledge, at any rate :)
As for the story, brilliant as always. Just the right amount of suspense. Great characterisation, perfect spellings and grammar, original idea... what more can I say? I have no criticism whatsoever. I really enjoyed this, and I think you're going on my favourite authors list.
