My favourite part of this is how the focus is on Ginny. That's probably weird to say coming from someone who's OTP is H/D, but she often kind of gets pushed aside - this makes me think of a whole story where Ginny is the narrator, and the boys are in the background. The moment is so poignant and sharp, almost. (Hahah, I guess that fits swords!)

I really love this! Great job, can't wait to find out who you are mystery artist!

Thank you! I was a bit nervous focusing on Ginny in an H/D fest, so I'm especially glad you liked it. :)

Gosh, that's a particularly powerful message woven into so few frames. I think for me, my experience of the pic is in relating to Ginny's quiet acceptance, and it allows me to empathise with her even while I'm so happy to see the boys together.

Love the detail of the 'v' signs behind the childrens' heads! Cute!

Thank you! James's V's practically drew themselves. ;)

This is really gorgeous, and masterfully conceived in terms of structure. I love the way you've used color and light: how the light from the doorway spills onto and illuminates Harry and Draco's embrace, and the muted, yet detailed background.

And Harry looks so blissfully content... no wonder Ginny simply accepts it.

Thank you! The light from the doorway was how the whole idea started. I'm glad it worked for you. :)

This is stunning. Ginny's quiet resolve. Harry and Draco so content. Very well done. The use of light and shading is perfect.
