I really like this. It's raw and telling and powerful. It's easy to forget that the teachers have been around so long and seen so much. Thank you for the reminder.

This is utterly breathtaking. It is easy to forget they would have seen so much and I love the reasons behind their ways, the ways they could have interacted. I especially love the explanation behind Madam Pince, her story is somehow very powerful in the short snippets that are revealed. Brilliant, brilliant work. ♥

Kudos. I don't usually read historical fics but this drew me in with the writing style and the story. So well told, and we get such a lovely view of all the characters even with so few words. Very well done. I will be reccing this on bestthingever on DW.

i really enjoyed this! it's nice to see the bigger picture and how history really doesn't change much through time unless the participants finally realize how stupid they are. i really feel sorry about the professors having to harm/kill students they've taught (and never mind fellow classmates).

This is a great way to tell this story and I love your unsentimental approach to the teaching staff.
