I'm discovering this a little late, but what a powerful piece! The characterization was truly wonderful; you added such dimension to these "minor" characters. The end was especially brilliant, and the line, On the morning of May 1, Harry Potter broke into Gringotts and stole a dragon is what caused me to literally squeak. I have such a thing for underground movements. *g*
The time I spent reading this was time very well spent indeed.
