Oh my, gosh. Started out chatting with my online bff while reading, and ended up ignoring her completely as I was swept up in your story!
I loved how you explained the lack of Ginny and HONESTLY FOCUSED on how much losing a loved one hurts. And Harry's kids? SO perfect - each had their own personality and it made sense how their relationship with Harry changed after the loss of their mother.
And Snape. *hugs you tight* Man, I love him so much in this I literally clapped my hands in delight once I'd finished the story. So intimate and compelling and rich in detail - THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS! Such a great way to procrastinate at work start my day right!
