To be honest, I was very interested to read a fic on how that spellwould have panned out if it was successful!

Yeah, I'm actually kind of wistful that I didn't end up writing THAT story. I'm curious too! I based it off a program my high school did, called Every Fifteen Minutes. It addressed the number of teenagers who were killed in car accidents. They had a grim reaper character who would go to each classroom and remove a student, and then their "obituary" would be posted in the main hallway. They also staged a big car wreck on the field out back. It was all to strengthen our awareness of the number of deaths. Very effective. Definitely one of the more vivid memories I have of high school.

You know, I'm actually very surprised that most people were so affected by Goyle's test! It just strikes me as intriguing. I wasn't expecting to get such vehement feedback on his character! THank you.

Man, the Mystery of the Missing Ron... Yeah, I tried to get him in here, but he just wasn't fitting, and I realized pretty quickly that there was no real place for him in my story. If I hadn't been trying to work toa deadline, I probably could have played around with things a little more, but in the end, he just didn't make an appearance. Which is definitely odd. I'm sorry for that. My working excuse is that Draco's primary POV really didn't give Ron any notice. But I know that's weak, hahaha.

Thank you so much for reading and for leaving me such a nice review!
