Amazing. You had no right, no right to write such a poignant story! *__* I really can't express how much I loved this, from the originality of the plot, to its all-encompassing way of being compliant with everything, while being complex and yet, in the end, so credible...
And then dear Dumbledore, always the master-mind, almost broke my heart in half and made me curse him when he denied Harry. So what a rush of pleasure, which left me light-headed and positively giddy with joy, upon hearing of two little potions one was advised to always carry around... *sigh*
Also, much love to your writing style, vivid at times, at others lyrical, and gosh, I never enjoyed allusions more than the "vampire-mania" one and of course, taht last beautiful one about a woman waiting for a train, what a fitting tribute. &hearts
