Oh yes, this is lovely! It was definitely a hopeful enough ending, and the best part was it wasn't just hopeful for George, but also for Molly, who made me so sad throughout with her crying. And I loved the parallels you drew between George's pain and his inability to share it with anyone, and Ginny's pain after the Chamber of Secrets and her inability to do it, either. But I think my favorite part was right at the beginning, with the twins in the playpen and their frustration at not being able to communicate with each other. It was just wonderful all around, thank you Mystery Writer. :-D
