Oh my dear, dear "mystery author", I just love this story to pieces ♥ - it pulls on all my heart-strings (as you well know, I suppose). How wonderful to find Charity in it this way, as well ♥
And I never thought of the difficulties to live with a metamorphmagus in a Muggle neighbourhood... that afternoon with the real estate agent must have been really hard for Andromeda. The pottery-class-taking and Augusta's recalling the Dawlish incident is a wonderful detail as well.
Favourite sentence: But this is not the life she would have chosen, and as she looks at her dying husband, her mindless son and her needy grandson, she wonders if, somehow, the universe knows. *OMG, sigh*
