Thank you very much for your lovely review. I had just re-read DH when I wrote the story which is where the melancholy came from as none of these characters was treated very well by JKR and I wanted to express that.
I am glad you liked Hermione. And Ron, in all his hotheaded glory has always been one of my favourites, I wanted to geive him a happy ending and a dark haired seeker of his own.
