As soon as I read this...

If anyone were ever to make a film about Godric's Hollow, it would be one of them art features where nothing ever happens, and everything is black and white.

...I knew this was going to be the perfect story to curl up with on a lazy Sunday morning. This is simply beautiful. The way you've conjured both the characters and the setting is utterly believable, and all the more perfectly painful because of it.

Marvellous, marvellous work.

	Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked it and found it believable. I knew this was going to be the perfect story to curl up with on a lazy Sunday morning. I had exactly the same feeling about your own fic. Did I mention it's fantastic? (Reply to this) (Parent)
