Wow. Believe me when I say I am totally blown away. This was a gripping read from the beginning, with the tale told from the little girl's point of view, and it utterly sucked me in. The character sketch and the dilemma they're in was brought out especially well. And the ending was beautifully bittersweet. It seems right that the change and development in their relationship, their understanding of one another, and their new contentment, should be contained within the hut, even though it was painful to read.

Until the end, I bore hope that Harry and Draco (being Harry and Draco) would find a way to circumvent the trap, and live happily ever after with the little girl *g*. Of course, the end is still cheerfully ambiguous, so perhaps I shall take the happier ending for a nice bedtime story before I retire to bed.
