Oh my. I think I must be divinely favored. With all respect and fondness for magnetic_pole, a fic from you is just about the best little Christmas gift I could ask for. As always, the dynamic between your boys is perfect - chummy and sarcastic, and just a wee bit awkward ('But, Moony, I thought you loved me.'). And you bring magic into the real world as deftly and imaginatively as ever - I love the idea of jammed portkeys and of dissolved colleges being hidden for continued use by wizarding folk.
My regrettably few visits to Cambridge have not yielded a strong familiarity with its geography, but you managed to give the boys an itinerary that I recognized - though perhaps this is simply because the route may be popular with tourists like myself. In any case, the recognizability pleased me. King's College Chapel springing up out of the mist was exquisite (and Sirius's remark was classic). I'm curious about the glove tradition.
