Oh dear, a wonder lesson of how beauty comes from within. Your description of Millicent's transformation broke my heart because I think almost every teenager goes through a time when he/she can't imagine the beautiful adult that will be.
I enjoyed the way you redeemed Pansy because I can easily envision her showing kindness in such a malicious, opportunistic way. I'm not exactly happy to have a case of the sads, but it does mean that you wrote a persuasive, poignant fic. Well done!
