I really liked this one. I wish there were more DH- compliant stories that dealt with what Hogwarts was like when the trio left. You did a good job with it here- very vivid and everyone was very in-character. :)
Author's Response: rnIn-character is a compliment I really can't get enough. Thank you for saying so.

Another chapter! Another chapter! This is one of the first fics I've read from the Carrow vs DA time period. It seemed to me it would be a perfect backdrop for a DG story--and here you've proven me right. I thought your Draco and Ginny were very in-character, up until Ginny started giggling. That felt a bit abrupt. (But then, I've never thought of her as much of a giggler.) It had some dark tones, but you managed not to over do it. ...could you be encouraged to turn this into a 3000-chapter-long story?
Author's Response: rnI really don't think I could make this into even a two-chapter story. It was hard enough not to overdo *any*thing in one chapter, (especially in the Forbidden Forest scene) and while I'm not afraid of a little hard work, I'm deathly terrified of undoing whatever hard work I've already done. But tell you what: there's a compromise. I've been meaning to write a longer story (in the same vein) but it reworks the HBP scenario, so it won't reach the Carrows versus the DA timeline (I agree that's a good DG backdrop, since IMHO, that's where Harry's out of the loop, and DG can run wild.) (There's a icon I found somewhere, with Felton and Ginny's actress from the CoS movie, which bore the slogan: "We're actually kissing in the corridors in canon." Apply that to the DH, and you've hit something bang-on.)rnrnThanks for calling them in-character. Draco crying is one thing, Draco being scared witless by Ginny's glare is one thing altogether. I haven't thought Ginny was a giggly-type either, so maybe I should change that to laughter. The mental picture and impression was of a nervy Ginny blowing off steam, so I guess that needs work. I'll go back and make the minor alterations soon.rnrnThanks for the concrit!rnCheers,rnClorinda.rn

I liked your story. The imagery was very clear, and it was like I was there at times. I wish there was more to the ending, but your ending works just fine.
Author's Response: rnThank you son much. The compliment really made my day. I wasn't really sure of how to end a story like that, so I'm glad you liked the way it did.

Great work? A sequel maybe?
Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment ... am I supposed to treat the first question mark as a typo or a mark of dubiousness?rnrnAnd a sequel? ... Naaah. I think it would just fall flat on its face if I tried that.
