dear mystery author, thank you for a fascinating tale! I love the awkward tenderness of the young lovers, as well as the chance to be a fly-on-the-wall among the young Death Eaters. Peter's feeble self-esteem makes him ripe for corruption, but your Amycus is just a tender youth here, almost as insecure, and creating sympathy for him and his sister is no mean feat. The overall theme of disillusionment is bittersweet, an echo of what it means to grow up. thank you so much for the poignant tale.
