I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for posting this portion of “The Storm.” Its prequel- like its anti-hero- was bitter, honest and heartbreaking. While I know an extended “storm” is not likely on the horizon, your snippets were extremely heart wrenching and helped create a foundation in my imagination of the world after “Before the Storm.” Draco remains inordinately torn by impossible choices and haunted despite his pseudo-affected and aristocratic air. Words can’t do justice to how much Ginny moves me within your created world. You maneuver words and emotions with a delicate and bittersweet honesty and if I see another story written by you, be sure I will be one of the first to read it. Thanks for taking the time to create this world and for sharing your words.
