Author's Notes: You asked for female Hufflepuffs with backbone and mentioned Hannah Abbott specifically. I'm a fan of Hufflepuff girls. I hope you enjoy reading about these girls as much as I did writing about

What a WOW story! You didn't shortcut anywhere. This was well developed throughout from the friendship of all of the girls through the special bond that Hannah an susan share. I appreciate that the girls are each different as is the way they cope with what happened to Mrs. Abbot and the Bones' family. The nutter began as subtly creepy to a real menace.
You've given me so much that I wanted from canon. Girl talk, a look at a house other than Gryffindor and a chance to get a glimpse of what was going on at Hogwarts while the trio hunted Horcrux. I really felt the menace even while cheering for Neville, Ernie and the girls as they planned how to get the potions ingredients. I was thrilled with the Summersby Plan in all it's glorious details. I really had no idea what would happen when the Death Eaters confronted them in the kitchens. I'm glad that you showed Flitwick, McGonagall and Sprout were trying as best as they could to protect the students, no to mention the house elves. And not telling us how they knew to set up an ambush is genius.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your comments. It's not from lack of appreciation I assure you. I felt very honored by your words. Many of the items you touched on were one I debated over the merits of my portrayal so it was very gratifying to see your reaction. I have always respected your opinions and comments as I encountered them in fandom so its a thrill to read what you've written here. Thank you for your enthusiasm for this story.
