Thank you! I'm always interested in thinking about what might have happened to everyone else during the war, as in many ways the focus of DH is very narrow

This is really lovely. I love that little jab at Harry's self-centeredness there, and that the war was so much more than him - because it was. Al and Roses' friendship is also brilliant. <3

I wouldn't call it self-centeredness - after all, with everything Harry suffered during the war, why should he have taken on additional responsibilities, either during the conflict or afterwards? I think he did his part, but certainly the next generation should remember all the heroes. They have a responsibility to study history properly, just like in the real world. Thanks for the wonderful feedback!

self-centeredness is probably not the right word - I meant it more like, he was at the center of it all and didn't see other people much during the war other than Ron and Hermione. I can see how it'd be difficult for him to "realise" that the war also happened to other people and that they had a different point of view. :) So pretty much what you say. :)

Wow. I really really enjoyed this! It's a fascinating look at a world that we never even see in the books but which you can totally imagine happening while the Trio is off hunting Horcruxes and the DA is defying the Death eaters at Hogwarts.

Excellent work, and I'd love to hear more about those stories someday!

Thank you! I do have plans to write some of those stories. But it might take time, as I don't think I can really do them justice as one-shots, at least in some cases.

I loved it a lot. The end was so right. Well done.

Thank you!

This was so sweetly sad. Al and Rose are so adorable, I love the two of them having adventures together. This whole idea is so brilliant, war stories that the Trio doesn't know. It makes sense that there was so much going on behind the scenes, and you presented these stories very well. This is such a great, well-written story!

Thank you!
