LJ-cut, please. More than seven thousand words is VERY long. It takes up at least two-thirds of my friends' page.

Done! Sorry, coding mistake - caught it a sec after posting, thank heavens!

The ending gave me genUINE goosebumps!! Very haunting - in ALL its meanings - sharing of Ron's memories and feelings. The switch in POV works really well, distinguishing between the present and the past. Very creepy Draco, making his ghostly amends before moving on...

I liked it very much! Thanks!

Thanks very much for the lovely feedback! I'm glad some of the intended spookiness came across :).

Very good indeed. Interesting idea - using a pensieve in Azkaban to store your happy memories ... but an interesting story line, well handled. I'm starting to get a liking for Ron fics.

Yay, thanks so much! There's no greater compliment than managing to spread the Ron!love :).

Oh wow, that's just magnificent. Ron is so vividly drawn, and Draco hovering on the sidelines. The last bit was especially chilling -- nice twist!

Thanks so very much! I'm happy that you enjoyed it! :)
