Wow yourself. Thank you! I'm particularly happy you felt bad for Ginny. IMO she canonically meh and I, like so many others, hated the epilogue, but I kind of felt canon-is-canonish, and that for this fic she and Harry had to have something good together, which meant she couldn't be meh or a bitch. I didn't want the reader to be able to say, "Oh poor Harry, no wonder he cheats." Because I don't care for her, and hated the epilogue, it was something of a challenge to make her 3-dimensional, and it thrills me that you and others think I succeeded. I'm also really pleased that you liked Snape throwing Harry out for real. I wanted him (Snape) to have his moment of self-realization, that he really does deserve more than he'd ever had. The kids were fun to write, and actually fairly easily, which surprised me. All your comments have me grinning from ear to ear, with the possible exception of Snape being mellow. Someone above said something similar and it surprised me. I may have to go back and read my own fic. as if I have time for that, I'm so far behind on everyone else's Thank you so much. You've totally made my day.
